Oskar Laffont’s idiosyncratic drawings show London at a time when Mankind no longer exists, and the city has been reclaimed by nature. It is both beautiful and menacing.

Animals are everywhere, and they have taken control. They mimic our own behavioural traits. Laffont says that we have a need to give meaning to the behaviour of animals by making reference to our own.

Graphic novels are important to this series. But they are also inspired by the work of Hogarth and Goya. It is, he says, an ode to London, and a warning that our highly valued culture is doomed. Contemporary society and its history, and the problems we have with it, are meaningless when met with a greater force.
