Description

The Thief is about the character, Dog, from my graphic novel, Garen’s Diary. Dog is a sentient hand puppet that the villain of the story, Seattle, wears when she steals Garen’s diary. This painting shows Dog holding the diary in his mouth. Garen’s Diary is a journey on overcoming trauma, reestablishing trust, and learning self-compassion. This painting is based on this sequential narrative which is represented as several volumes of zines. Garen’s Diary is intended to allow the viewer to experience enough solidarity, compassion, and empathy to find humor in trauma as a means to heal.
