Nardwuar, the human serviette Camille Claudel Jocelyn Louise in my graphic novel Lyndi Barrett Anna T Fabulous As mentioned before, China Marker is my medium of choice for my graphic novel.

Her Catholic childhood. #Vancouver #coldcase #graphicnovel
“When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I survived at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while. Worse than the ordinary miserable childhood is the miserable Irish childhood, and worse yet is the miserable Irish Catholic childhood.” ― Frank McCourt, Angela’s Ashes — — MOLLY-…
Daniel Clowes- “knowing counterpoint.”
I have this certain vision of the way I want my comics to look; this sort of photographic realism, but with a certain abstraction that comics can give. It’s kind of a fine line. – Daniel Clowes — — — — See also: Daniel Clowes Part (BBC Documentary) by lesebb1

The information teenage women were receiving at the time regarding their physical, personal and sexual development was truly horrifying from my perspective…

Or to even…
