I can finally announce I illustrated a graphic novel!!! â¨ī¸đ
Chappell Roan: Midwest Princess: The Illustrated Story of a Musical Femininomenon is coming to you this November! Preorder now at Barnes and Noble, Amazon and other book retailers!
I have been working on this for a while now with @medialabbooks, its very exciting to be able to share! With the amazing author @knitteditor I was able to illustrate Chappell's life and professionally fan girl!
When I was approached about illustrating this comic, it was the biggest no brainer ever!
This is made with nothing but love and respect to Chappell and her fans, I was able to add plenty of fun references in there for die hard fans.
As Chappell herself said "The queer community is my main fanbase, so my responsibility is to pay it forward"
In her spirit and to authentically feel I can share her story, I have donated $500aud total of the first half of my advance to two Trans Australian charities:
@transcend_australia
@transgendervic
Who were nominated by @midwestprincessproject while she was here for Laneway. I hope to support the Queer community further throughout the release of the book.
Whats it about?
The story features her rise and fall and then major rise to pop-stardom. I was so lucky to have the freedom to add references and moments I felt like captured her spirit. This story focuses on her and her alone, as a queer woman navigating the music industry. It's about her overcoming the hurdles with her label and the difficulties of being Queer in a small town.
I hope I have represented her and her amazing accomplishments to their fullest đŠˇ
Happy Pride everyone! Stay tuned for some exciting giveaways and deals throughout the rollout!
