Synesthetic Anthology

1. A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color.

2. The description of one kind of sense impression by using words that normally describe another.

3. A Texas based graphic novel anthology showcasing some of the the best talent in the Lone Star State and beyond.

Synesthetic is a comic book anthology featuring twenty creators from the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. The word "synestetic" means attributing one sensory input to another: hearing colors, seeing sounds, smelling touches. Comics as an art form do this fundamentally. When you pick up a comic your mind interprets what that car horn sounds like, how long that character sits on a park bench, and how big that room really is. Synesthetic wants to play with these ideas in a loose and enjoyable way. It gives the artists involved the opportunity to tell any story they like, so long as somewhere within they give a nod to the overall theme of Synesthetic. We want to make our readers hear things that aren't there, see depth that is unreal, and feel time pass in a whole new way.
