How--and Why--to Make 50 Pounds of Art
Read to the end for my first ever process video!
Here is the making of a section of this post. My first video!
Thanks for reading The Habit of Art, a free illustrated newsletter by Kelcey Ervick about writing, drawing, and storytelling as radical acts (that look a lot like sitting at a desk). I love creating these posts and am grateful for all of you who read them. Making 50 pounds of art paid off, and I’m now the author and illustrator of the graphic memoir, The Keeper, which my HERO Alison Bechdel calls “a triumph.” And I’m co-editor with Tom Hart of The Rose Metal Press Field Guide to Graphic Literature—a guide to making all kinds of comics, collage, and graphic poetry.

I love this story and art so much! I'm currently on a plane so I can't watch the process video just yet, but I'm coming back to it later. 📌
50 pounds of art, so legit.
Love this! I’m new to a daily art habit after years of creativity in other fields - writing, cooking - and it’s amazing how quickly I forgot that daily practice is everything!
