aaaaaaand more Chris Ware
I knew I recognized his style when I saw the LINT book! After googling him I remembered he did a few amazing New Yorker covers I learned about in my art history and illustration history classes. I guess I wasn’t paying attention since I forgot his name and all…
I really need to start remembering the names of people that inspire me
I think it’d make me sound smarter too
I just saw this book LINT (or more correctly titled ‘Acme Novelty Library Volume 20’) by Chris Ware at the Silver Snail and had to buy it, because seriously, look at how BRILLIANT it is! Above is the cover (reason I picked up the book) and one of the first pages showing the world through the eyes of an infant (reason I kept reading). His style matures as the child does, and the use of multiple small panels to depict an every day event works flawlessly with this sort of slice-of-life piece (reason I bought the book).
I think I’ll try my hand at this sort of frame by frame time progression panel structure for my next comic class project. Now all I have to do is come up with an awesome ‘makes ya think’ plot…

My name is Danielle Kuindersma, or Dani K for short. I am currently in third year at OCAD U in Toronto, striving towards a BDes in Illustration. I hope to one day be a graphic novelist, but after learning about the hard life and times of the average designer, I'm sure I'll be pleased doing any freelance work I can get
As the end of my school life is just around the corner I've come to the realization that my shit is not at all together. In trying to get myself in line for this future, I've created a new blog, daniK DESIGN, specifically for my illustration career needs.
My old blog and username, SherbertDelight, was created on a whim a few years ago. I have now come to have an odd love/hate relationship with it ( yes, I know sherbert is usually spelled sherbet THANKYOU ). While I dont want this username to be associated with my official illustration career I still can't bring myself to give it up, so I've cleaned up this blog instead! It will now be used for inspirational posts only. I've also made Jordan the Assassin, a 3rd blog for any obscure, random posts.
Hopefully this new separation and organization of blogs and content will help me post more often! Wish me luck!
