BRIELLE & BEAR
Brielle & Bear is my current Work-In-Progress original concept for a YA graphic novel loosely based on Beauty and the Beast. A “modern fairytale”, this story is entirely written and illustrated by me. It is set in a whimsical version of England at “Once Upon a Time” University. It follows 3 main characters throughout a school year and delves into their struggles with love, jealousy, forgiveness, fear, faith and identity.
