Snapshots: A Toni Morrison Comic

This piece is part of a series run by CRB and the Rust Belt Humanities Lab in collaboration with Ohio Celebrates Toni Morrison, a statewide project led by Literary Cleveland. The series is supported by Ohio Humanities.

Artist’s Note: Creating this project was a return to traditional draftsmanship for me and a great chance to sit down at my drafting table. I used an 8.5 inch by 11 inch piece of Bristol, #2 pencil, and a Kuretake and Pentel Pocket brush pen.
