This is a reprint of a popular graphic novel, in which an artist and model fall into an abject relationship.
In Ripple, Martin is a floundering painter desperately attempting to pursue his fine-art inclinations rather than toil in the world of commercial art. He hires a model, Tina, to pose for a series of paintings he dubs The Eroticism of Homeliness. Over time, their relationship evolves from a tenuous working relationship to a confused sexual entanglement. Martins initial repulsion for Tina slowly turns to attraction, causing him to re-evaluate his own notions of beauty and sexuality. Tinas motives in working for Martin are slowly turned upside-down as well, leading toward the books inevitable, explosive ending. Sad, funny, and often uncomfortably titillating, Ripple is rendered with kinetic realism.
