PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
K. Briggs is an award-winning comics witch and teacher. She earned a Masters in 2013 from DJCAD and spent six fantastic years in Scotland. Their recent publications include Resistance, the first comic adaptation of Val McDermid's work, and The New Chapter Tarot, an original tarot deck. Briggs is a teaching artist for Fleisher Art Memorial and Spiral Q in Philadelphia.
Briggs composes fascinating pages and panels that have a mixed-media feel, layering her realistic figures over maps and medical diagrams, invoices and intake forms, tarot cards and plague paintings. The effect puts the story on a historical continuum. -- Kirkus Reviews It's in this clash between different modes of information that Briggs' voice can be found, in the revelation that the artist's use of collage is not merely decorative, that it's an aesthetic built to integrate abstract knowledge with physical experience. -- Mindless Ones
