Great illustrations with humor that truly tell the story. To me the consistent green color palette for NJ - except for your mom’s glasses - show how you used to feel about NJ and how it’s now revealed to you with the colorful Why I Love NJ picture. Is it the place or the home? From the parent perspective I now it’s wonderful to spend time at home with my grown children
So proud of my New Jerseyan daughter! I loved the illustration of us, the family, that embraces you so much! Let’s get a bagel on the way to the beach 😉.
Amazing! There’s so much there. The thinking, the pacing, the drawing, color choices, composition, positive space, negative space, etc etc. But, also the story. It’s really good. Personal and revealing, approachable. Anyone can relate to it. Love it!
Such a Lovely bouquet to your family, Tatiana! But I do have to say as someone who has lived in both New Jersey and New York – decades in each — New York bagels are the best!
Love this! I also found myself suddenly back in the suburbs during Covid — living in an RV in my parents’ front driveway no less — and it was also one of the things I came to cherish. Any recommendations for figure drawing events for super-duper amateurs?
As a gal who also moved back in with the NJ 'rents during the pandemic, I can genuinely say I relate to all of this so so SO much. It was such a *bittersweet* moment to move out again to NYC - bittersweet in all essence of the word. BUT, we are doing it and grateful to be friends with you in the new chapter!!! :)

This is brilliant. I wanna visit NJ now 😂

really loved this story and illustrations, made me miss home, too.
I love this!
What a great piece! I loved the use of the state of NJ as a character in these panels. Maybe especially, "I'm gonna get ya!"
And it sounds like there are great changes afoot in your brilliantly brazen life -- wishing you all the best as you make this move.
I love this Tat - what a beautiful depiction of NJ and the wonders of being with the family.

Couldn’t relate to this more!! I’m falling in love with the burbs a little behind you but I’m with ya.
