Contemplative Comics: The haircut
Plus a free printable zine <3
I’ve made it no secret that one of my more ambitious creative goals in general and here on Substack is to make and share more comics. My ancestor collage project Crawling Veins is coming to a close (I’ll be releasing the last piece later this week). Our art journaling project POCKETS will continue, although filming time during summer break is quite limited — please bear with me on that. With all that said and done, I figured it’s a great time for a pivot to get myself drawing more, and sharing more. I present: Contemplative Comics: drawings and musings from daily life.
I hope you enjoy. If you scroll to the bottom, you’ll be able to download the printable, double-sided zine I’ve decided to share with you all.
May we all love each other better,
Rikki
Here is the printable zine The Divine Within Us All. Simply fold it hamburger-style, then fold it into a booklet from there — it’s a quite simple layout. I hope you enjoy. Thank you always for being here.
