I fell in love with her illustrations after a co-worker showed me her new and first graphic novel “My Favorite Thing is Monsters”. She uses all ballpoint pen and her work is dynamic, rich with contrast and color. One of my favorite things about this is that all of the pages are scanned from a spiral notebook where she drew all of them out. As if she was documenting all of this in real town as she was in Chicago. As I have been working on slowing down my work and adding more layers I decided to try ball point and I’m really enjoying it.

  1. Jenn, I love that this artist radiates so much of your style- thick brushstrokes, and so much movement.. I can really see how she influences you as an artist!
