#GregSindel sets sail this Sunday!📖⚓

Captivated by Herman Melville’s Moby Dick, Greg created his own 68-page graphic homage to the classic tale. Now, the artist and graphic novelist is bringing it to life in a free, one-day-only performance at @sydneyfishmarket!🙌

Dressed as legendary narrator Ishmael and taking to the deck of a handmade prop boat created with Studio A, Greg will plunge audiences into raging seas, terrifying encounters and the pursuit of the great white whale. Expect a colourful cast of characters and favourite moments of adventure, terror and revenge! 🐋
