Tell me a story.... tell me a story about a girl who requested three dresses made of the sun, moon, and stars to get away from an unwanted marriage, or of a girl through her kindness and friendships that she made was able to get away from a family who only wishes her unhappiness, or of a mermaid who dreams of living in another world and gave up her voice and her many years to win love and gain an immortal soul....

Line Art “practice” on Trung Le Nguyen’s debut graphic Novel “The Magic Fish” which I highly recommend for those who love all things graphic novels, good art, and storytelling. The man’s panel composition and line art is insane, reminiscent of the style of Kosuke Fujishima, and Alphonse Mucha.

~”Real life isn’t a fairy tale.

In fairy tales, the prince fall in love with the princesses. But Tien has a different story to tell. His parents are refugees struggling to learn English, and he doesn’t know how to come out to them in Vietnamese. If he doesn’t even have the right words, how can he ever know if his parents will accept him? The answer is in fairy tales—a language that Tien and his parents share. Tien learns from his favorite stories as he navigates the world with the help of friends, family, and fairy tales.”~
