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.
Today’s story is “Balance“. And…Read the story here.
Look forward to seeing the rest of your illustrations.
Thank you. I’ve posted a lot of them, I think if you search Minuscule as a term on the blog, they will come up. I loved doing this kind of work, and I sure learned a lot about brush pen work doing them!
I searched under that term, but it only gave me your writing…not your sketches. No artwork.
I might have been unclear. First go to the blog:
https://claudiamcgillart.wordpress.com/ – then search inside the blog itself under the term Minuscule. I title each post starting with the word Minuscule and post one each Tuesday. The original stories I posted on my poetry blog, some with illustrations and some with nothing, they were posted before I did the pictures and the Minuscule book). Hope this helps!
