Thank you so much!! 🥰

So much fiber too wow. Need that fr

Thank you so much!! I love incorporating texture into my work, just like Eric Carle and his painterly collages :3

Sheeeeesh that is a lot, good luck soldier 🫡

Yup. And then once you're done it's like "it turned out great, let's do it again!" Only to then feel your will to live leave your body when you're in the weeds of it 💀 and the cycle goes on

Some of Ishmael's comics are collaged in the background of this piece because I wanted to showcase his skills as an artist and give people a glimpse into his inner world. Check out his portfolio on the Visionaries + Voices website!!!

Ishmael Williams is inspired by Hana Barbara cartoons, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro. He draws with confidence and never makes mistakes. He can whip out a whole comic page very quickly, so he has giant stacks of amazing hand drawn comics. I loved watching him work and he has a great personality too!

I'll be including it in my solo show in Cincinnati next month! :-)

I definitely will! I'm thankful I've been logging my time working on it so I have an accurate account of all the work put into it! Instead of just going off of vibes and my bad memory lol

Yes!!! Every town should have one!! Mine has some really nice stuff sold for way less than retail. They're such an amazing resource for artists

Thanks!! I think newspaper is a really neat texture and try to include it in collages whenever I can :3

I'll make sure to not forget to do that now that someone is counting on it lol!

Appreciate it! 🥰
