Description
Night Bloom is a book that explores drawing & creativity blocks: how to overcome a lack of inspiration. Night Bloom was created by comics artist and animator, Isabelle Sigrid, as a part of her homonymous exhibit at Antenna. Three fable-like stories are told through hand-drawn text and image, touching on the magical and healing properties of drawing as well as methods and metaphors to recharge zest for creative action. Ultimately, Night Bloom prompts readers to pick up a pen and begin drawing.
