Fun Home

I have enjoyed reading fun  home thus far. The artwork is my favorite out of all those we haver read, its not to complicated but not overly simplified.  The colors are especially interesting and bring much to the page with out being robust like the distracting colors of Watchmen. The black line art with a gray-green watercolorish wash is very unique, well unique to me as my field of knowledge when it comes to graphic novels/ comics is limited. I did a little research on the book because I have been enjoying it and I discovered that the author, Bechdel, both wrote and illustrated Fun Home over a series of seven years. She would take a photograph of her self dressed as the character she was about to draw and then draw from that photo. I think that is such an ingenuitive manner in which to find inspiration for the characters movement and look. 

As well while researching I found many different covers for the book. I think they are all interesting but the one we have fits the most I believe.
