Because web comics are not enough. Today Shira Lipkin launched what she’s calling “an urban fantasy illuminated manuscript.” The project, Shayara, includes images, stories and music and has a non-linear navigation. Today is the first day the project is officially live, so we’ll have to see how it develops, but there’s already a lot there to play with. I’m a big fan of multi-media storytelling myself, so this looks like a lot of fun.
