Comic book release STRUGGLE
New comic book now available!
Dear subscribers
My new comic book is finally here! It is now available in my online shop (and at the conventions I’m part of this year). 🥳🥳🥳
This comic book includes three short stories about people struggling with their mental health: PANIC, CRISIS and CONTROL (if you followed my newsletter closely the past few months, you’ve already seen a part of the comic pages 😉).
What is special about this comic book?
Apart from the fact that I wrote the stories and created the art, I also printed everything at home on photo paper and took care of folding, stapling, cutting and carefully packing every single issue. I wanted the quality of the print to be the best possible and making everything myself gave me the most amount of control. It was a lot of work but I’m proud of the result.
My sketchbook in March ✏️✏️✏️
Some online course assignments and ink sketches.
This is a drawing of an Asaro head, a geometrically simplified model of the human head designed by John Asaro for artists to understand lighting, shadow, and structure (in case you were wondering).
Take care,
Ilona
Printing at home is something I’ve been thinking a lot about lately… Especially for small zines. 🤔
Your studies are looking GREAT btw! Keep it up!
