Description

A poetic meditation rendered in beautiful pastels and black line on managing and struggling to get through the small tasks of every day. The claustrophobia of thought and the crippling of anxiety make any house haunted, any body possessed.

About the author

Contributor Notes

GG lives and works in the small Canadian prairie city where she grew up during the 1980s. In this pre-Internet era, isolated geographically and culturally, drawing and making up stories was the means to connect to something more. It was romantic and lonely. She made her major publishing debut in 2017 withI’m Not Here.

Editorial Reviews

“Though the narrative is deceptively simple, GG imbues every page with empathy and insight; the intimate view begs close reading and will strike as all too familiar to those who’ve felt similarly trapped in their own heads.” —Publishers Weekly

“gg is a master of the graphic short story.” — Chris Gavaler,PopMatters

“gg’s style is further evidence that the comics form is not foremost literature but visual art, requiring readers to become viewers willing to pause and flip backward and pause again.” — Chris Gavaler,PopMatters

“GG’s been carving out her own artistic space for so long now, and doing the kind of comics no one else can even conceive of, much less execute, that she’s achieved something not even every cartoonist bothers to aspire to, namely: mastery of form, function, and concept.” — Ryan Carey,Daily Grindhouse

"Constantly explores the debilitating impact of anxiety on the every day, examining how it stretches and paralyzes daily tasks and decisions.” —CBC Books

,

“InConstantly, Canadian artist GG brings craft and insight to an intimate vignette of depression and anxiety.” — Tom Murphy,Broken Frontier

“This is a very quiet book, and one you’ll remember.” — Rachel Charlene Lewis,Bitch Media

“GG has a signature style utterly unique, at least in Canadian indie comics: highly cinematic and influenced by graphic design’s attention to the placement of shapes and use of negative space and shadows within each frame, such that the images become at once minimal and hyper-realistic.” — Candida Rifkind,Sequential
