The Adventures of Grouchy Pregnant Lady
Last Saturday was the last StudioSTL workshop of 2008: graphic narrative. I thought it sounded like a cool topic, but I felt utterly unqualified to teach it. Luckily we found James and Jason, who thought spending four hours teaching teenagers how to express themselves through words and pictures sounded like fun. They assured everyone that, when it comes to drawing, "Ugly is okay," and soon all of us were creating characters and drawing on the giant Post-It notes stuck up on the walls.
I am still trying to convince myself that ugly is okay, but I will share the comic I drew. I did a few sketches Saturday and then finished it today. (You can click on each picture to see a larger version.)

LOL, I want to hang this on my wall! I'm right behind you, weird taste in the mouth and all. Whoever made up the myth of "pregnancy glow" is on my list. :)

You are so FAR from ugly. To watch you work the kids -- pure magic and beauty. Here's to babies!
