The Artist Is Present And Out Of His Mind is the sixth annual Sputnikat Comics Jam, developing our focus on collaborative storytelling.

We gathered together 32 artists, Sputnikat stalwarts and international newbies, for another game of narrative improvisation with each cartoonist drawing one page and then passing on the baton for the next to continue the tale. This time we are thrown into the strange world of Jeremy the sad clown, as he strives to escape the performance prison imposed by a manipulative manager and his conniving lover. Get ready for psychedelic cacti, a giant gleaming pearl, the inspirational Workout Queen, and a mysteriously appearing horse.
