Snow Elves

a tune, a memory and a comic

The creative process is multi-faceted. It’s an octopus with many legs and as an artist we need to focus on one leg. This comic came as a little mandolin riff I was playing around with. It’s been snowy here in Scotland, and the twinkly tune reminded me of when I was a kid seeing snow for the first time and my brother playing a trick on me. To this day I still think of these elves when I see the sun sparkling off a field of fresh snow.
