Herman is a reclusive, straight-laced street cleanerāor so it seems to those he works with on the cityās waterfront. But he has an extraordinary hidden talent: the ability to transform his appearance at will. When the unsmiling cinematic genius MIO calls an open audition for her new movie, a queue forms along the waterfront, snaking past the industrial park, the beach, the shipyard, and beyond. On the fourth day, Herman joins it. As he waits, swept up in the frenzy of creative ambition that has overcome the city, his past life becomes increasingly remote. By the time he enters the audition room, he might have lost his job, but his talent remains. Dazzled by Hermanās ability to adapt to any role, MIO deems the rest of the cast redundant, sparking a furious outcry. When the cult directorās new film premieres, with Herman performing every role, it doesnāt get the reaction she expects. Spectacularly drawn, Herman by Trade is a captivating graphic novel about art, identity, and making space for self-expression.
