Friends,
Good morning from rainy Lisbon. I wonder… can you smell the rain and hear the tap tap of the raindrops from where you are? I’m meeting up with my fellow artist friend for lunch today, and it’ll be my first time heading into town with an umbrella!
In this letter, I want to share my new comic, Espinafre, with you. I’ll be posting it on my Instagram page later, but you’re the first one to read this! I hope you enjoy it.
I loved every minute of making this piece. It features very zoomed in photos of my mom’s pearl necklace, my beloved color pencils, and scraps that I kept from my summer printmaking fellowship at The Fine Arts Work Center.
I’ll keep you posted on Espinafre as they grow. Right now, they’re snoozing after a big breakfast of eggshells.
Ah, and before I go, would you help me decide a good cadence for these (news)letters? How often would you like to hear from me?
Rest well and be good to your self today,
Haruka
