Barb’s story was on my mind for many years before I finally found the courage to put it in words (and pictures). This is a story I didn’t know how to tell, but here I am telling it anyway. This is the first page of my graphic novel “Barb”.
My goal was to create this piece with all the stages as a real graphic novel, so I’ve made a few initial pen sketches, moved on to pencils on paper and only then had the inking and coloring done digitally.
