Reviews

[Sarah · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stunning & moving little black & white gem of a comic about pregnancy & birth. Raw and true and very very beautiful.

[Hannah Garden · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is excellent work, really beautiful little black & white where the black is deep and the white is luminous. She draws giving birth as her body sort of cosmically dislocating from and reconstituting itself after a great gruesome wrenching splashing and it is a goooooood evocation, at least for me a person who will never. Like yikes. Zoinks. That is some feelingful yet clear drawing. Excellent, excellent.
