Bulk Nuts
Bulk Nuts is a trove of relaxedly funny and touching graphic stories, depicting preoccupations, incidents and mysteries that resonate with many of us. From supermarkets, to dance floors, to bus rides and Melbourne nooks, Ord conveys tender and understated takeaways, compelling us to look closely at our own day-to-day realities. A refuge from the flashy maelstrom of modern life, Bulk Nuts shows how odd and humble things can sustain us.
