"The First Color" 📚🎨 coming in 2026. Early cover roughs. (4 of many) I’m deep in a graphic novel right now...my fantastical story about the origin of color… and the problem with bringing it into a world that has learned to live without it. This book is built on that moment when a single bright thing feels dangerous, holy, and worth carrying anyway. All winter I’m doing the unglamorous part: pages → panels → revisions → better pages. I’ll share peeks at the art, characters, and a few color experiments as they evolve. Question for you: If color vanished tomorrow… which one would you smuggle back first? (Instructional book cover is next.) #thefirstcolor #graphicnovel #coverreveal #comicart #comics #visualstorytelling #illustration #bookcoverart #conceptart #worldbuilding #characterdesign #artistprocess #digitalart #traditionalart #aiart
