Awesome. Nice to meet a fellow comic artist/cartoonist. As a beginner myself I try to stick to 4 panels. But sometimes you just have to include more so that you get the right feel

THIS too becomes a verbal poem harmonising beautifully with its poetic-illustrations -- what lovely reading as its energy and the reader's dance together!

Love these so much. Do you usually make the poem first and then the drawings, vice versa, or simultaneous both?

Thank you! Usually the words and pictures happen together. When I start with either the drawing or writing alone I often have to make a bunch of drafts before the other feels right.
