Launch day for my Yellow Dot Kickstarter!
I've been working on this project for two years. This is the third time I have attempted to capture the images. It wasn't possible for me to make an accurate representation of what I saw and experienced, so I settled on a stylized version. My hope is that the text and artwork, together, will convey the mystical nature of the story to the reader.
Another concern I had with the publishing of this story, is the fear of readers thinking that I was trivializing my friend's death and suffering. If I could have my way, Elsa would still be here. Alas, I didn't get to choose that story line. I have reconciled her passing and eased my anxiety over her suffering, but I will always wish the whole cancer thing had never happened.
My plan for this blog is to post each of the 16 images for the book and give you a little extra insight into the meaning of each. I have chosen a square format for the book, so I am limited to eight and a half inches for the text. I wanted the layout to have one page of text for each image. I know, I have created my own box...
This is my first time writing a blog, and it would be great to get some feedback. I would love to hear stories from other people that relate to this topic.
