Chrysanthemum Under the Waves got its first review! Thank you to artist, writer and critic Dmitry Samarov. He says:
Somehow Umber manages to make the heaviness of the subject-matter bearable, even beautiful. I don’t know whether there’s really light at the end of this tunnel but she provides just enough illumination to see us through. By letting her images speak, she’s able to say what she wants more eloquently than many books I’ve read.
Read the full review here in Vol. 1 Brooklyn.
I'll be tabling at CAKE (Chicago Alternative Comics Expo) all this weekend. I might have contributor copies of Rust Belt Review Vol 6 on hand! In honor of CAKE I'll also have a new toy, the Cupcake Mini Bun!
For anyone who stops by, I'll have flyers for my upcoming October 25th book launch at Tangible Books. If you'd like to sneak a peek, I'll also have an advanced copy of Chrysanthemum Under the Waves!
