Synopsis
An abandoned teen in a hostile city embarks upon a treacherous journey in search of riches to purchase his mother back from servitude. Through this layered work of fantasy, Jurevicius twists and transforms the picture book through searing color and characters whose cute surfaces are rippled with waves of weird.
Nathan Jurevicius is an Australian Canadian illustrator who has worked in a variety of media including designer toys, video games and animation. He is best known for his acclaimed multi-platform project the psychedelic and heartfelt modern folktale Scarygirl. His last book was the wildly inventive picture book Junction.

Review
“One of the central themes of the book is that compassion and caring, even in a brutal and uncaring world, can be enormous strengths.” - Rob Clough, High-Low
"Walking a thin line between depressing and uplifting, a line I hadn't really thought about existing before, Nathan Jurevicius' Birthmark brings a familiar tale of vengeance into a completely alien world." - John Seven, The Comics Beat
"Both whimsical and grotesque, Nathan Jurevicius' latest graphic novel Birthmark is a take on an age-old story, that of the hero's quest, a wonderful clashing of the cute with that of the strange, and it works well. Very well." - Daniel Miller, Heavy Feather Review
Praise for Junction
"Junction is an ideal book for young readers attracted to a more bizarre aesthetic, showing children how to break traditional design rules to create art with a distinct perspective. Adults can find value in the intricacy of Jurevicius' craft, and the textured crosshatching, immersive composition, and vibrant, varied color palette bring a captivating splendour to the narrative." - Oliver Sava, A.V. Club
"Junction...leaves readers with a newfound appreciation of the combined power of image and imagination. - Christina Quintiliani, Canadian Review of Materials
"An enticing slide into the strange, particularly for fans of Shaun Tan's wilder fancies." - Kirkus Reviews
"Nathan Jurevicius' work achieves the minor miracle of being aggressively weird, deeply compelling and entirely satisfying...a rare achievement that only a true master of mysterio autentico can accomplish." - Jim Woodring, creator of Frank and Jim
