I’m teaching an autobio comics workshop at the Newberry Library next weekend (still three places left!) and wanted to spend some time really thinking through the steps I follow in making these things: how did I get from “I feel like drawing a diary page” to emotionally reflecting on an abandoned medical glove? I enjoy these moments of slowing down and working through my process while also taking a mental step backward and watching my process unfold - it is such a helpful step in preparing to teach these skills to others. It was also a really enjoyable way to spend a morning, honestly, and I am pleased with how this comic turned out.
Have you needlessly personified anything recently? I would love to hear about it!
