Emeryville Public Market, Too


Kiddie chairs & table, Emeryville Public Market. PaperMate InkJoy pens & watercolor. 





Recently inspired to try InkJoy pens because illustrator Emil Ferris uses them to such effect. Ferris overcame the paralyzing effects of West Nile Virus by drawing the demons of her subconscious. They populate her first graphic novel, "My Favorite Thing Is Monsters." The novel's like a sketchbook diary, and her original drawings were created on lined paper with markers and colored ink pens. Art Spiegelman, creator of Maus calls Emil Ferris: "one of the most important comics artists of our time."

See the work of Emil Ferris:
