Welcome To Your New Life creates caricatures of parts of a newly constructed personality for you... just you... no one else.
Each separate facet that is detailed in this 'personality' has its own name & speaks about it's role in your life. They are grotesques, portrayed in fine pen lines, distorted & twisted to extreme.
That's basically it, really... a page for each persona.
Yes, the writing in the word balloons is rather teeny-tiny, but hey, it's readable, delightfully acidic & sometimes cutting.
Yes, the drawings are a bit shaky here & there, but they distortion & experimentation with line is rather wonderful to behold.
Yes, it is sort of stuck together in a seemingly haphazard way... the paper part of the book glued into the card cover. But really, this just all adds to the 'intimate' nature of the book - It's patently handmade - someone has spent quite a laborious time putting all this together for your enjoyment - for you.
