once again, there's like another better funnier example of this handwritten dialogue in sweet revenge, but the panel is too spoilery without context. oh well ! i guess you'll just have to read it when it comes out next year~ !

re: studio proteus lettering: i am always trying to push my lettering in these scholastic books into a studio proteus hand drawn direction as much as i can/am able. you know, like, not for everything, but especially for characters yelling. it's really present in finding myself with you. it's fun~

my new comic is now called SWEET REVENGE ♥️ coming out next year! #comics #graphicnovel
A comic book page from SWEET REVENGE, a romcom graphic novel by Victoria Grace Elliott coming out in 2027. An iridescent beaded curtain is opening to reveal a long-haired boy in a fur-lined leather coat singing karaoke to Photograph by Def Leppard. Alex, the main character, peers at him from behind the beaded curtain in horror. Her best friend leans over to whisper "Isn't that...HIM?" The karaoke room is full of their mutual friends, cheering him on and encouraging Alex to join him. "Finally! Alex, get up there!" Suddenly, something clicks for the boy singing karaoke. "'Alex'...?" His face is obscured as he turns to face the main character. The page is left on a suspenseful note.

please read my book Please Be My Star in which a cute boy loses his temper
Christian, the male lead of the YA romance graphic novel Please Be My Star, is in an argument with his childhood friend, Paola. He tilts his head back and with uncharacteristic condescension asks Paola "What the fuck do you know about me?" Paola, holding her tiny dog, is taken aback. As her eyes well up with tears, her puppy licks her face to comfort her. She proudly tries to hold back from crying. "Fine. Okay." She turns away, looking up to keep the tears from falling. "You're right. I don't know you." The gate at the end of Christian's driveway divides him and Paola as she turns to walk back to her house in the sunset. "Do whatever you want," she says, giving up control of Christian. Christian watches her as she walks off. He's ashamed of his sudden outburst. "Shit," he mutters, while knocking his head with his fist.

please read my book, Please Be My Star, in which a really cute boy really loves Watchmen
┈ bookshop.org/p/books/plea...
A cute boy brightly smiles & tilts his head, he's introducing himself to the main character. "I'm Christian." [ I know. I've drawn you so many times. ] the narrator, Erika, thinks to herself. Erika's friend Julie looks at the spread of comics and snacks on the ground in the circle of friends. "You, uh, like comics?" Erika, gripping her fists, looks excited. "I love them." Julie's expression is sarcastic "Of course you do." "Nice. What kinda stuff do you read?" Christian asks. Erika thinks about her favorites. "Ah, well, lots of manga, some webtoons, and lately I've been into old Batman comics." Miguel, another new friend in the circle, approves with a deadpan expression, eyes still glued to his phone. "Oh, hell yeah." Erika, glancing around nervously, asks, "What do y'all (Christian) like to read? (Christian answer this please)" Christian, hand to his chin, is gearing up. "Well. Don't think I'm one of *those* guys but...Watchmen." Miguel rolls his eyes. "Oh, Jesus. Here we go." Christian proceeds to ramble about reading Watchmen, reading the wikipedia entry for Watchmen, and trying to figure out how it's a meta-commentary on comics. Erika seems delighted and confused by the sudden nerdy ramble of the cute boy in front of her. His friends, however, aren't amused. Julie looks annoyed. "Dude, we get it." And Miguel looks pissed. "SHUT UUUUUP." Christian's used to it. He keeps rambling to Erika, excitedly pointing at spreads in the comic, mumbling "9-panel grid" and "It's a comic about comics." Watching him, Erika thinks to herself, [ This isn't exactly...What I was expecting. ] Christian hands her the comic, "You wanna borrow it?" Erika accepts. "Sure??" [ But it's going well, right? ]

A comic page depicting Julie, a bright orange-haired girl standing on a high school theater audition stage, pointing up to a lightbox. "I'm gonna be in *her* play." In the lightbox, the anxious Erika comically glances around, realizing her hiding spot has been exposed. The theater teacher & students all turn to look up at her in the lightbox. Christian, her crush, exiting the stage, looks confused, wondering what Julie is pointing to. A comic page depicting Christian, Erika's crush, glancing up. He finally sees Erika in her hiding spot: the unused light box with the perfect view of the stage (for spying on Christian). Erika, exposed, making eye contact with the cutest boy in the world, absolutely loses it. She freaks out and vacates her lightbox hideaway as quickly as possible. She will not be caught.

current “do you really want to draw this scene” list — if it doesn’t check any boxes, i make sure i know why it’s there (usually vibes)
Checklist written on a cute cat notecard from Loaf on Paper Brooklyn. •Is it FUN? (to draw) • Is it FUNNY? • Does it move the plot FORWARD? bonus ... • can you create FRICTION between text & image?

i gasped out loud when i saw this at the vintage store – i had never actually seen it in person! i loved recreating the typography & recipes from 𝓣𝓱𝓮 𝓝𝓮𝔀 𝓙𝓸𝔂𝓼 𝓸𝓯 𝓙𝓮𝓵𝓵-𝓞 in Tasty. i'm so giddy i now have a copy of my own that i found by pure chance
photo of a person (me) holding a copy of the 1974 second edition of The New Joys of Jell-O, a company-made gelatin recipe book with beautiful and cursed gelatin recipes in it a page from the graphic novel TASTY: A HISTORY OF YUMMY EXPERIMENTS (made by me, victoria grace elliott) explaining recipe books made by Jell-O to promote their product. two recipes are detailed below, including the SUPREME DESSERT (cute) and SHRIMP MOUSSE (cursed)
