My Other Half Part I
Lookalikes
Hi, I’m Michelle, a Dutch illustrator and language teacher. I publish a monthly visual story under the moniker The Visual Thinker. This post is Part I of a series called “My Other Half” — a story I’ve been wanting to tell for a long time but didn’t find the right format for, until I felt inspired by a pair of grocery store scissors and my phone. Subscribe if you’re curious about the next chapter or if you want to support my visual storytelling experiments.
PS. panel 7 was actually intended as a little animation, but Substack didn’t let me upload it into a high enough quality GIF (and I didn’t want to interrupt the pace of the story with another format). I do, however, want want to show it off here:
Really love this layered style! It reminds me of both those old paper theatres and totally has reminded me of how much I wanted to try this exercise from Fionn McCabe: https://fionnmccabe.substack.com/p/collage-in-your-characters
Love this!
