Is perhaps one of the more appropriate terms for describing Naomi Nowak‘s painted comic art – the feelings of characters are quite literally reflected and illuminated, the reader can see them with transparent ease.
Influenced by manga as well as European bande dessineé, Publishers’ Weekly has an interview with the Swedish artist on her second graphic novel from NBM, House of Clay.
