![]() ![]() While the art in this book is good enough to stand on its own, the story really makes it. ![]() Nguyen is a designer, and quite a few pages take advantage of empty space for panelling goodness (there’s no assumption that pages should be filled with panels) 2) there’s some seriously good handlettering that’s often used for sound effects (and also used for the title font). There are also a couple of things that separate the craft of Pilu from other comics: 1) Ms. Her process is analog, brushed inks, coloring in Photoshop and overlaying a custom watercolor texture over every page. It’s just so beautiful, from the lineart to the colors & textures. This is one of those books that I had to own within reading the first few pages. ![]() I knew I wanted to read it the second I saw the cover I happened upon it while perusing the the Hoopla app (I highly recommend it if your library system offers it, there are soooooo many comics available). I didn’t even read the blurb before reading the book. And I only just noticed that memories & feelings have rounded corners vs right angles. ![]()
