Synopsis: |
A paint and paper documentary, observing great horned owls in their natural habitat."Mesmerizing is the only word that works to describe Maggie Umber's new graphic novel Sound of Snow Falling. Well, ? enchanting" works too. As in nature, the more you look, the more you see. A third viewing reveals story lines I'd missed in the first two. Umber's minimalist paintings manage to convey, in three colors, the beauty, ferocity, devotion, and sheer heart of a pair of great horned owls bringing three chicks into the world. I'm taken by the economy of line and rightness of gesture in these deceptively simple paintings."? Julie Zickefoose, author & illustrator of Baby Birds: An Artist Looks Into the Nest, The Bluebird Effect: Uncommon Bonds with Common Birds, and Letters from Eden: A Year at Home, In the Woods"Umber beautifully uses comic form to take the reader through intimate movements in nature"? Aidan Koch, author of After Nothing Comes ? Maggie Umber's work is simultaneously a breathless, quiet stretch and an enormous, orchestral voice. I don't know anyone else who can create such volume through silence."? Sarah Ferrick, author of Yours Sound of Snow Falling is a graphic novel done in a poetic documentary mode. In this unique work, the reader becomes a voyeur of the natural world, following a great horned owl family through the dead of winter. Extensively researched and expressively painted, Sound of Snow Falling is a triumph of the comics form. Maggie Umber is a cartoonist and associate publisher at 2dcloud. Sound of Snow Falling is her second graphic novella. |
