    Alice at Naptime

    $10.00$40.00
    ‘A beautiful, visual-poem about motherhood and art.’ A poetic exploration of being both a new mother and an artist, told using her own unique graphic novel and fine art approach. When Alice was born her mother only found time to draw her while she napped. Gradually Alice is multiplied in a tapestry of selves, both large and small, while an overarching narrative whispers through the pages, musing on the meeting of former and future selves. At its core, Alice at Naptime tells a universal story, of a parent pining for past freedoms, while simultaneously descending down a rabbit hole of all-encompassing maternal love. Written and illustrated by Shea Proulx - Full Colour - 192 pages

  • Front cover of ABC Monstrosity. The ABC letters are drawn to look like the illustration that will accompany them; the “A” looks like an apple, the “B” looks like a B-shaped banana, the “C” has a cow-hide pattern. The word “monstrosity” is spelled in letters with vibrant monster colours, little horns and teeth and tentacles. There is a whale sprouting green spikes, rainbow appendages and a purple unicorn head with an overlarge green eye. There are mysterious shapes poking in all around the frame.
