Marnie Galloway joined me to talk about her new book, In The Sounds and Seas, debuting at the Toronto Comic Arts Festival. We discussed the origin of the story that became her three-part collected work, as well as how it feels to create myth from personal experience. This conversation took an interesting turn towards exploring the feeling that as an artist one needs to always be producing new work, and whether or not that can be damaging to one’s physical and mental stability.

Derek talks with Marnie Galloway about the publication of her first graphic novel, In the Sounds and Seas. This beautiful hardbound text was released earlier this month from One Peace Books, but her work on this project has a long and interesting history. The first third of the narrative was a 2012 Xeric Award winner -- and in the final year that the Xeric grant was given to comics artists -- and the entire story was originally released in three self-published volumes, the final one coming out in early 2016. Marnie discusses with Derek her decision to complete her story in this manner, even after receiving a contract from One Peace for the collected edition. They also talk about the challenges of telling a compelling story through a wordless text, the question of her art as visual poetry, and the various literary references woven into her narrative. Along the way, they take the time to discuss her various other comics and why she particularly enjoys writing in the short-story form. In the Sounds and Seas debuted at this year's Toronto Comic Arts Festival, so Marnie shares her experiences at the event along with the thrills of being able to showcase her new book to such a major audience. This is an impressive work from a young creator whom we are sure to hear more from in the coming months. Check out Marnie's website to discover more of her art!
