Did anyone else here have any Fisher Price Dream dollhouse toys growing up? I never had the house but I had the car and camper. #dollhouse #fisherprice #thrifting #90skids I’m surprised American Girl hasn’t already made one tbh but it was funny tossing this one together with parts and clothing I already had around. What do you think of? 🧵🪡 #Coraline #AmericanGirl #thrifting Don't worry... I floss now!!! I had a lot of fun figuring out how to draw the dentist in the third panel and came up with this funky idea of readers looking outward from my mouth. I feel like I saw it in a cartoon before but I can't recall which...? Anyway, read all about my gap teeth and more in Hand-Me-Down, my latest graphic memoir available now from @01firstsecond ✨ I saw some artists talking about how our greatest strength in today's society is our humanity, so I thought I'd re-introduce myself in case I have any new followers. I also just had fun designing this little comic-like journal thing using photos of myself and my existence and some of my little hobbies and past times. Let me know if you like this sort of thing and I can make more. :) When everyone thinks someone is so funny and cute but you think they’re insufferable… 😩 Absolutely Everything has been out for almost a whole year this September! Inspired on my own experiences in middle school not knowing I had ADHD yet and feeling out of place. Follow along with Marcella as she figures things out! #comics #comic #graphicnovel #comicstrips #books Back to school sales giving me flashbacks. This clip is from my book Hand-Me-Down by the way~ you can buy it wherever or borrow it from your local library. 📚 I used to love shopping for school supplies but then I wanted to throw up on the first day of school. You can't hurt me, I've been on the internet since sixth grade. Hand-Me-Down came to me in little thoughts and memories and this was one of the first ones I scribbled down in the earliest stages of working on this book. I kept rolling the word "parents" around in my mouth after someone referred to theirs and realized how odd the word felt coming out of my mouth. The more I said it each letter started to break away and separate until it didn't feel like a word at all. Anyway... it's been a bit weird trying to promote this book because it's so deeply personal to me and anytime I try to think up a way to share it with others because I would like it to perform well, I just find myself kind of lost. #graphicnovels #comics #comicstrip #grief #comicartist #illustration #artist Can't believe Hand-Me-Down has been out for two whole weeks! It's so strange being finished with a project you worked on for so long and just having it float around out there in the world. Here's a page I drew early on in the book. When working on autobiographical comics I find myself thinking of it more like a series of memories all strung together. So each page stands as a unique thought or memory with the page beside it work to accompany that thought. Then all the memories are strung together like paper dolls to make a book.
