“Crime Scene” creative process #graphicnovel

| Kat Thorsen
Spending more and more time alone these days.  Craving and receiving great moments of solitude to work. To figure shit out. To surrender.

“CRIME SCENE”

Testing chapter heading visuals for:

Molly, my graphic novel.

Creating on nickels and dimes. ‪

“… even if I had to paint my pictures with my wet tongue on the dusty floor of my cell.” – Pablo ‪Picasso‬

I can’t stop despite money worries and fatigue-inducing insecurities…

Can I pull this off?  Am I good enough?

But the process carries on anyway.  Despite myself.

If I just keep the pen to paper… that’s the ticket.

Trust.

Surrender.

Allow the creative process.
