Feeling sadness for objects

On anthropomorphizing and fulfilling your purpose

Hi, I’m Michelle, a Dutch illustrator and teacher living in Paris. This substack was born out of my obsession with capturing everything in visual form. I draw to capture the world, but also to organize my own thoughts. I publish sketchpads (like this one) and long-format illustrated essays together with my husband Conor Pfister.
