A very “Fall” Saturday in New York! 🍂🌧️💨

Rainy, windy, and definitely not the kind of weather that makes you want to leave your cozy corner… but absolutely worth it!

On Friday and yesterday, Villa Albertine hosted a fantastic series of talks bringing together talented authors, illustrators, and creators from different backgrounds.
What a pleasure to meet such inspiring talents, exchange ideas, and connect with some of them.
These encounters are exactly what makes the world of comics, graphic novels, and visual storytelling so exciting — creating bridges, sharing perspectives, and discovering new possibilities.
Thank you, Villa Albertine, for bringing everyone together! 💙

A new sketchbook post has appeared on my [website which allows you to support an artist with a small monthly donation].com! Some recent sketchbook spreads, a brush with non-fame anecdote, at least two movie reviews no one asked for, and a bunch of drawings of people, especially their heads! Available now on [website which Instagram hates you to mention, because they'd prefer you use their own version, but Meta eww yuck].com/dharbin
See you there!

EX LIBRIS — Matt Madden

Uncivilized Books · 2021
Hardcover
English · First Edition
🇺🇸

A comic about comics, hidden stories, and getting lost between panels.

Matt Madden takes a simple idea — a room, a bookshelf, and a collection of comics — and turns it into something much stranger.

Every book opens another possibility. Every page raises another question, is a clever little experiment in what comics can actually do.
