Elements came earlier this week! They were selling dinged/damaged copies here for half the price so I couldn’t resist! Though... I’ve yet to find a single flaw on my copy. Is it the tiny white edge on the top right?? ...I feel like I cheated getting such a lucky steal on this, but I digress.

I’ve never actually bought a kickstarted art anthology before (though I have read a few via friends) so this is a really new feeling. I’ve only recently started turning my attention toward collecting art books and comics again, wanting to surround myself with people’s hard work and passion. I feel like for a while I was isolating myself because being a “real original artist” means you have to generate inspiration and creativity all by your lonesome, which couldn’t be farther from the truth. 

There’s a lot of wonderful little stories in here with an overarching theme of fire. My favorites were Breath, Plucked from Heaven by Shiivana Sookdeo and Breathe by Kiku Hughes. Cactus Flower by Sara DuVall unexpectedly made me cry as well, but there were oodles more that I really enjoyed too, and artists I was delighted to see in print like Jenna Salume and Mildred Louis. It’s just really nice to see people’s love, tears, and sweat on paper like this, and I’m really thrilled to be able to support in any way. It was really nice to get lost in and I can’t wait to see the inevitable next element books. (Right!? Right!! Please!! I want matching books on my shelf!!)

These are gracious and heartfelt and I don’t know what we did to deserve readers like this but boy, are we grateful.
