Hand-Me-Down is "Poignant, bittersweet, and delightful." - Kirkus Reviews I decided to try my hand at mending this sweater I had sitting around. It's kind of become one of my favorites despite all the holes in it. I used to embroider and embellish clothing, but my whimsy was beaten out of me over the years. My brain was feeling messy and I started spiraling about how I'm annoying and remembered this scene in my book Absolutely Everything where Marcella starts bullying herself. Something I have to remind myself to stop doing. I'm trying a new comics layout on Instagram... do you prefer swipe-able/close-up panels or seeing all the comic panels at once? I decided to draw this scene from a picture book idea I had that I really loved but was rejected a year or so ago. It was about a quirky, crafty and colorful little boy who lives in a gray brooding gothic family that loves him the way he is. Most of what I see on social media is about book ideas that have "made it," but I just wanted to share with anyone who might feel a little bummed over their own rejections that you can have your whole heart in something and sometimes it just... doesn't make it. I thought the concept of Eldric's story was really fun and lended itself to some quirky visual gags and heartfelt scenes. I was so excited like, "Everyones gonna love this!" ... and then they didn't. I really would've loved to explore this character and his family in a picture book or maybe even early reader graphic novel?? Maybe some day... but for now he hangs out on my shelf of rejected concepts. #illustration #illustrator #artwork #comicartist Come paint a character with me! 🎨🖌️ Bookmarks for my latest book, Hand-Me-Down, have arrived and they smell so oddly familiar!
