Jen Lee

A trio of animals in a deserted world head out for the adventure of a lifetime: food and friends await!

Garbage Night

In a dishevelled and ransacked backyard, a dog named Simon has been forgotten by his owners. Simon contemplates breaking free and eventually partners up with a raccoon and a deer who take him into the woods. But Simon realizes he is not quite ready to live in the wild. Vacancy, along with many of Lee's works, explores the ways that animals think; how they may internalise their changing environment and express their thoughts, fears or excitement. And in the abandoned and destroyed areas of the town strange things begin to happen...

Vacancy

On March 12, 2020, in the midst of a pandemic, story artist and filmmaker Jen Lee went home to an apartment in the heart of Brooklyn, New York, and closed the door. On April 15th she picked up her pen.What follows is an account of unraveling and introspection on a deeply personal level, against the backdrop of global disruption and collective isolation. Pages that give the Inside Thoughts shape, existence, and sound. What follows is coming to the end of a road and the uncharted terrain on the other side.In a time where no person's experience exactly mirrors another, a daily accounting of the ebbs and flows offers comfort and company as we universally experience grief, loss, and the uncertainty of what's to come.For over a decade, Jen Lee's work has been good company in difficult and solitary times. Here she is, unflinching and unfiltered. Here is her latest offering, just in time.
