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.

Gorgeous. Reading this lifted my day. There’s a graphic novel lurking in this post. I can’t wait to buy it and read it someday.
I love this so very much. Thank you for sharing my piece, I love your work!
