Fiona Staples

So I got annoyed that nothing I draw is self-owned or ready to show, that I started doing a morning warm up of drawing faces from random scribbles for an hour before starting the day’s normal tasks. Some work better than others, but it’s nice to let the pencil take over and guide me to the face inside the mess. Obviously each session has its own movie, what with the wonders of procreate recording almost every stroke I make, tho I might wait a little before unleashing those on you. I want to make a comic drawn entirely in this style, and at this rate that might actually happen before some of the other fish I got frying.

It’s very rare, less than once a year, but for the past 18 years I’ve been getting these “episodes” where I go unconscious. Pretty much everyone who’s seen it has the uneducated guess that it’s a seizure, and that’s what I tend to call them when I’m lazy. It’s not easy to stay calm when I know I could have an episode, but through the years I’ve gotten better at it. It’s much harder to calm down when I’m in a public place

If you don’t, you can’t say I didn’t try, right? She’s the co-creator and artist of the hugely popular SAGA. I figured that there are countless write ups about SAGA already, so I’d like to write about Fiona’s work on a different book, ARCHIE. and I think her work is gorgeous, charming and doesn’t miss a comedic beat.
