Living for that glowy lull between patrons.

Damn, that single full panel following the activity-packed, multi-panel page... I could hear the clatter and a scritch and murmurations and ringing bells, and then the sudden swallowing silence.

Wow! Page seven is incredible. Do you have a version without colour? Because your linework on the teapots is really something else

This made me feel the way that I did when reading Blankets 16 years ago. Just that slow, subtle magic of building a deeply relatable mood on a page.

I love the whole atmosphere you've created in these pages. A shift in pacing and timing with how close things are. It's been good across this whole chapter. I don't usually go back to reread them at once but I think I'll go back through these all together. I also like how were getting parts of a scene all at once instead of one page at a time. This kind of story would not be received as well like that

Danielle, long time fan, 142nd time caller - when did your art become so radiant??? Really lovely stuff this week!

This conveys the atmosphere of the place so well in so few pages. This is the kind of storytelling I aspire to learn.

So evocative. Takes me back to my first baking job as an overnight dessert maker at a coffee roaster.

What a gorgeous collection of pages that establish such a sense of place. I wish I could get my students to write like you draw.

I'm absolutely in awe - this is GORGEOUS! The colors, the lighting, the intricate details! I love how the clusters of tiny panels communicates the busyness of a cafe, and I love the contrast between that and the full-page of Miranda just sitting quietly, folding napkins in the lull.

I like how the order pad handwriting is so neat at first, and later on it looks a bit more hurried.

Oohh good call, I've been wanting to share the inks on these, since I'm mixing a light grey inkwash to them. :) Thanks for the feedback (and your sweet compliment)!

dcorsetto

I'm so glad you noticed that. :)

ahhhh I feel so guilty I just INHALE these pages in like mere seconds, how do I properly savour them D=

NJGR

I went back to check the differences on that as well! Just gorgeous attention to details to set everything right...

Monica Gallagher

I love how you capture atmosphere so perfectly - this makes me miss working in a coffee shop!

:) That's a mighty compliment. I re-read Blankets before starting Elephant Town, to get an idea of the pacing I wanted and how to accomplish it. You should see my copy; there are so many little cut-up post-it notes sticking out of pages I like, it looks like fringe coming out the top!

Sarah Manx

Oh man! Well you're nailing it! I'm enjoying this so much; it's really beautiful. When the hard copy comes out eventually, I'll put it right next to Blankets. ^_^

dcorsetto

It'll probably be the same size!!

Not saying you shouldn't add sound effects where you wish them to be, but your art in these pages is so evocative that I could hear the sounds and feel the atmosphere as I read. Absolutely beautiful.
