When Valentine was a toddler, I made her Burgess from a pattern in Closet Monsters by John Murphy.
This summer, at ten years old, she pulled the same book off the shelf and began creating her own monsters — first following the patterns, then working free-form, practicing her sewing while inventing new creatures. Almost immediately the monsters jumped into her favorite medium: ink and paper.
These are early portraits of an imagination in motion. Valentine is still developing their stories and turning them into a comic.
