Thanks for reading The Habit of Art by Kelcey Ervick, a Substack Featured Publication (twice!). I love writing and drawing these posts and am grateful to everyone who follows along. I’m a writer and professor in Indiana. If you like this newsletter, you might like my graphic memoir, The Keeper, which was featured in the New York Times Book Review’s Holiday Gift Guide and is 40% off at the place that rhymes with Jeff-Bezos-sucks-a-zon. I edited a book on making comics and visual stories, which you can find here: The Field Guide to Graphic Literature (or here). I have other books too! Thanks for again for being here.
Love how you intertwine feelings and words- it makes for a calm reading.❤️❤️❤️
Love this. I also cried at Marta’s mom last night! Saw wicked today and appeared to be the only person in the entire theatre absolutely bawling to defying gravity at the end? (My god can Erivo SING!!!!!) Thank you for making me feel seen!
