There Doesn't Seem to be a Funny Side - Lew Currie

There Doesn’t Seem to Be a Funny Side is a bleakly funny, desperate collection of drawings by Lew Currie. With scratchy, immediate linework and a tone that swings between deadpan and disillusioned, the publication captures the worn-out absurdity of contemporary life. Faces blur into boredom, timelines melt into sleepless nights, and every page feels like a punchline delivered too late.

Currie’s illustrations mine the everyday for its unspoken humiliations and surreal detours. Technology, masculinity, therapy-speak, flatshares, phones, pubs, and existential dread all take turns on the page. These are images that are both self-effacing and emotionally exacting.

This is a publication for anyone who’s ever tried to laugh something off and found there wasn’t a funny side after all.
