A Whymsical Search For Self & Truth

I am artist, author, and self-publisher of the A Cappella series, which will ultimately have 4 volumes once complete. I self-published under my own label, River by Night, a dream come true for me.

vol 1: When Are You Coming Home?
vol 2: Open Heart (you are here)

This second volume explores finding one's own voice and desires. The series has best been described as a transcendental, whymsical search for self and truth.

Reviews at a glance

"I went and checked out some of your stuff and I'm really impressed with it. The cartooning reminds me of some of the qualities I like in Matt Howarth's art, and the preview chapters for A Capella felt like Winsor McCay exploring an emotional landscape rather than his usual dreamscape vistas. Really cool."
- Dave, Austin, TX

"A thoughtful, nicely drawn, compelling graphic novel."

What Price Love?

 

Ah, yes. Love...

What price do we pay for love?
Must we pay a price?

"... a curious meditation on the nature of love and life and faith." 

Recommended

"...A Cappella is a sweet, sincere, curious meditation on the nature of love and life and faith. The three short stories ask some profound questions and don't necessarily offer any answers. Pointeau seems more interested in asking the questions, and prompting her readers to ask those same questions themselves, than in offering any pap answers. A definite plus in my book.

Recommended to fans of Chi, Fauna, Salamander Dream, Jason Neuman's Cyril, and Scott Morse."

Open Heart

 

Runaway heart!...

The Girl's heart is pulled out of her chest by a monk like character, to literally jump out of their hands and take off. She runs after it... will she catch it?

A humorous take on finding what's in our own heart.

Do You Believe?

 

Here's how the story begins:

"Do you believe souls
Make agreements to reconnect
Experience new roles
Take on new relationships
With each other?"

A image essay inquiring on the nature of souls and their inter-connection.

"This comic is unlike all others..."

An Indy Comic Review 

"A Cappella is different than your traditional comic... The nature of the comic is very abstract... I could relate to some of the profound stories and was amazed by their depth.

I also enjoyed the artwork, [...] the finer details of the comic's artistic style.

This comic is unlike all others that I have reviewed... If you should happen to see A Cappella in a book store one day - take a look."
- Tony Tersine - Indy Comic Review
