Seeing the Bill Watterson originals full of pencil lines of stuff that didn’t work, scuffs the eraser didn’t pick up, white out galore and more was something I needed to see to remind myself that nothing is perfect the first go and tweaks need to be made and you’re allowed to try again.

Had such a great time running this poetry comics workshop at Zinezilla yesterday. One thing I asked participants to do was complete the sentence “The truest thing I know is…” then boil their original art / collage for it down to a simple single shape, then lay it all out into a single group piece...

The Lost – Dante’s Inferno, Canto 1 lines 1-3 Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita mi ritrovai per una selva oscura, che la diritta via era smarrita. At one point, midway on our path in life When I had journeyed half of our life’s way Half way along the road we have to go I came to in a gloomy wood In the midway of this our mortal life Midway upon the journey of our life Midway along the journey of our life I came around and found myself now searching Through a dark wood, the right way blurred and lost I found me in a gloomy wood, astray I found I was in a dark forest I found myself within a forest dark I found myself obscured in a great forest Bewildered, and I knew I had lost the way Halfway through the story of my life I woke to find myself in a dark wood Gone from the path direct For I had wandered off from the straight path For I had lost the path that does not stray Midway in our life’s journey The straightforward pathway had been lost Chrissy Williams
