Femke Hiemstra

This a short story of a sad hungry bunny who works at a circus and has to dress in a lion suit and perform because the real lion is too drunk. I won’t spoil the rest. I got this little comic at the Mocca Art Festival last year. I even got to meet the artist Femke Hiemstra who was nice enough to draw a little drawing on the back. The book is all silkscreened and is published by the Belgium company Bries. This is a limited edition of 250 and it looks like there’s still some left. Buy it here and check out Femke’s work here. She has some great prints for sale.
