In October 2017 I came across an internet blog challenge for a story written in two sentences. I wrote a story. Liking the format, I did another one. Another one. And another.
Quite a few stories later, I had enough for a book. Not only did I have stories, but I had written a short poem and created a brush and India ink illustration for each one as well.
The result was Minuscule, published in 2018. I’m now going to show you the book illustrations as an ongoing feature on this blog, once a week. I’ll link back to the story (they have been published one by one on my poetry blog).
If you want to hold the entire book in your hand, the print version is available on Amazon.
“Thaw” is the title of the story. Look here to read it.

This is so fun and cute
Thank you. I liked making these little figures in their outfits. Plus the snowflakes.
Love it ♥
Thank you. This one was the last one I did for this book. I think I was getting the hang of ink and brush.
I remember this story and I like that the facial expressions in your illustration are somewhat inscrutable or at least open to interpretation. That seems fitting.
Thank you. Usually I had to make a lot of drawings to get one I liked for each story and for this one, there were several possibilities, of which I chose this one for this reason, that they looked uncertain, or that their expressions could not be read, and there was a feeling of waiting to see.
