News, events and updates on Howie Noel’s illustration and comic works.
In additional to building the beautiful Float website you’re currently on, Shelley Noel will also be adding her singing talents to the Float album. She’ll voice 2 different characters on the soundtrack. It’s such a pleasure to see everyone involved with Float have the opportunity to use their numerous artistic talents. I’ve never lead a project like […]
Not only will Float be a visually unique graphic memoir but it will also be accompanied by an original soundtrack created by musician Victor Guest. Victor has crafted the sound of Float to be a beautiful companion to your reading experience. We’ve been able to inspire each other and keep one another creating. It’s a […]
I choose to view anxiety as a symbol of strength not as a sign of weakness. In my upcoming book Float I created the red symbol to depict when Anxiety speaks. We made badges and offered them as a prize for Facebook commenters on our website’s first week. When I saw many friends and supporters […]
In today’s new page of art from my upcoming anxiety memoir, Float, we meet The Worm. You can read more about the characters from Float in the site’s About section.
