Description
NEW! I have written and illustrated a sweet little story about Mel, an introverted alpaca with a whole lotta problems – a lotta llama problems, that is! Will Mel finally get the quiet time she desperately needs?
Illustrated by hand in ink and watercolor in a comic book style, this 10-page printed storybook includes about 8 panels per page, plus an entire 2-page final spread, inked only in black and white outlines without any shading so that you can color in Mel and her friends yourself! It’s a perfect rainy day activity for my fellow introverts who just want some peace and quiet time with our books :).
Each 4.9″x7.7″ comic book is lovingly printed and assembled BY HAND after your order is placed, so please be patient with delivery times. The cover is thick 180 gsm glossy photo paper, and the interior pages are thick white sketchbook paper, so that you can color in the coloring pages at the end with ease. Please allow for slight natural variations in the edges of the paper, since they are hand-cut.
Recommended for ages 12 and up.

Artist Statement:
“It can be difficult navigating a world geared towards extroversion, as an introvert. My entire life I have masked and done my best to mimic the outgoing behavior of my peers, and even built an entire on-camera career with my extroverted persona. But with maturity comes growth, and I have decided there’s nothing wrong with just being myself, and this book, this story, is an allegory of my journey, told through the eyes of a little introverted alpaca named Mel, who has finally had enough.
I hope this story inspires my fellow introverts to embrace their innate nature, and to find your tribe, because you are already enough, just the way you are.”
