Chrysanthemum: the Storyboards Shop Debut
Chrysanthemum: the Storyboards
by Maggie Umber - 6 years of storyboards collected in 80 pages - is
now available on maggieumber.com.
Maggieβs compositions, drawings, and use of black and white are
exceptional. Viewing this body of work inspires me to do better as an
artist overall, and in the composing stages of laying out a book. I
cannot wait to read the finished book! β

Chrysanthemum: the Storyboards Advanced Copies at Zinecinnati & MILK
Storyboarding & thumbnailing are just as important as the finished
comic pages. The rawness in the drawing quality is maybe not something
I'm known for, but definitely a part of who I am. I have a very full
calendar of comic, zine & print shows coming up (plus one performance)
& I'm so looking forward to hearing what you all think of this new
work!
