Colleen, I was reflecting today how memorable the way you draw faces and expressions is. In fact, often one of them will stay in my mind for years, just like a particularly pithy phrase from a novel. However, unlike a phrase, the memory of an expression can’t be googled, and it leads to this tantalising situation where I have to track through your work in my head until I remember where it’s from. Luckily, I don’t have this experience with most other artists that I read, which I guess is also a tribute to your work! Thanks for continuing to share 🙂

Beautiful drawing, warped character. Great style, looks like a vintage 20’s/30’s portrait.

When is Marvel going to have you do an Emma Frost one-shot? Soooo perfect for her.
