<\/a><\/p>\nAs part of the shoot I wanted to use bright comic like background and and interesting camera angels. A special thanks to Faye<\/a>\u00a0 and Frank<\/a> at this point who worked through the heat.<\/p>\n Her real name in the strip is Rebecca Buck, but this is very rarely mentioned throughout. According to her own history included as a preface to one of the books, her first words were “cauliflower penis”. When she was 7, she started a collection of novelty\u00a0pencil sharpeners\u00a0(the collection is now housed in the National Museum of Modern Pencil Sharpeners, Sydney). She later became a tank pilot and worked as a\u00a0bounty hunter\u00a0before shooting a heavily decorated officer, having mistaken him for her father, and failing to deliver colostomy bags to President Hogan, the incontinent Head of State in Australia, resulting in him publicly embarrassing himself at a large\u00a0international trade conference. These events resulted in Tank Girl becoming an outlaw\u00a0with a multi-million dollar bounty on her head. She is prone to random acts of\u00a0sex\u00a0and\u00a0violence,\u00a0hair dyeing,\u00a0flatulence,\u00a0nose-picking,\u00a0vomiting,\u00a0spitting, and more than occasional drunkenness. She also has the ability to outrun any\u00a0ice cream van.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n\n <\/p>\n This time I kept the lighting symmetrical to maintain a comic book look.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This weeks project shoot was with Apocalipstick… \u00a0Based around the legendary comic\u00a0character Tank Girl, she drives a\u00a0tank\u00a0which is also her home. She undertakes a series of missions for a nebulous organisation before making a serious mistake and being declared an outlaw for her sexual inclinations and her substance abuse. The comic centres on her misadventures with her boyfriend, Booga, a mutant kangaroo. The comic’s style was heavily influenced by punk visual art, and strips were frequently deeply disorganised,\u00a0anarchic, absurdist, and\u00a0psychedelic. The strip features various elements with origins in\u00a0surrealist techniques,\u00a0fanzines,\u00a0collage,cut-up technique,\u00a0stream of consciousness, and\u00a0meta-fiction, with very little regard or interest for conventional\u00a0plot\u00a0or committed\u00a0narrative.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\nAbout Tank Girl.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n
