I love this so much. I hope I can do that workshop with you this summer (I applied for funding). I find that art-making is my solace at this point.

Love this Kelcey. The process, the message, the sharing. Artwise, I particularly love the ends of your beautiful woman's hair. Like leaves...

Thanks for noticing that detail, Alice! Those lines felt like they drew themselves. That said, I tried to add leaves around the final line ("the body") and they turned into a muddy mess that I had to paint over. :)

Great job. I had to laugh with the "overeworked" and fixed it. I do that every time.

Me: Oh, this looks great. Just right...maybe just a little more "good stuff"... (adds more)... crap... :(

Oh gosh, I love this combo of collage and ink. I’m ideating on my final project in a graphic memoir class and have wondered how I could make 10 pages happen using some collage without making myself crazy… this helps. :)
