Being Alone – From The Series Formerly Known as ‘Unnamed’

Hello Napkin Kin!  Have you been wondering all weekend what the theme of last week’s ‘Unnamed Series’ is? Well, wait no longer, here is the answer: Being Alone

I started it because a dear friend of mine who is going through a divorce is now living on her own in a condo.  She is learning how to be alone for the first time in many years. It’s hard enough to be alone when things are going right, but when your world has imploded and all seems lost, being alone can be devastating.  These drawing and quotes were a result of my exploration of the idea of ‘being alone’.

Here they are from first to last, with the quotes written in.

Being Alone #1 – from the series formerly known as ‘Unnamed’

Being Alone #2 – from the series formerly known as ‘Unnamed’

Being Alone #3 – from the series formerly known as ‘Unnamed’

Being Alone #4 – from the series formerly known as ‘Unnamed’

Being Alone #5 – from the series formerly known as ‘Unnamed’

So, now that you know, what do you think? Do the drawings make sense now? Do the quotes fit the drawings? Come on, let me know. I want to do another series like this, it was a lot of fun and there was more than average interaction with the Napkin Kin and your feedback will help make the next series even better.
