Writer: Pearl Low / Artst: Pearl Low / Gumroad

A year ago I stumbled across the Kick starter campaign for a autobiographical comic by Pearl Low, an Afro-Asian Storyboard Artist currently working in Vancouver, BC. The KS campaign would be the third printing of this comic, and Low wanted to make it available to an international audience. She wrote of the book “Through the lens of an Afro-Asian woman, Tension explores societal ‘norms’ & learning to accept and love one’s own natural curly hair.” While obviously a fan of Black women , all manner of Black women exploring narratives that include wash days and collection of stories about Black hair that could be considered coming of age. I was intrigued by this comic on hair, on a woman embracing her roots and set out to read Pearl Low’s Tension.

“Through the lens of an Afro-Asian woman, TENSION explores societal ‘norms’ & learning to accept and love one’s own natural curly hair.”

What I love most about Tension is the immersion into the narrative I had in my reading experience: the story is presented with ease, a slice of life type feel. The comic starts with an older Pearl rising out of bed bemoaning that she will have to do something to her hair, that she will have to put it up. Then in the next pages, we see the younger versions of herself happy and slowly starting to understand that her hair sets her apart from others, that folks have opinions about hair that has a different texture and also how much of that reaction doesn’t make her feel good about it. She says, “I never used to mind my hair, until other people started to.” We see this manifest in the seemingly more innocent verbal comparisons of how preferred her straighter hair is when she’s younger to seeing the mocking of other women who have a head of more obviously looser curls which get nicknames.

Artist Spotlight

Hey hey, people.  Looks like we have another incoming Artist Spotlight!! 🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨 🎨Introduce yourselves!

We’re 4foods!! We like drawing, video games, anime, movies, and food.

🎨🎨How did you come up with your group name 4foods?

When we started doing conventions we were a group of 4. We like food and also we draw to make money for food, and so “4foods.”

🎨🎨🎨Name something or someone that’s a driving force behind your creativity, and why.

I think we all take inspiration from the media, fandoms we’re in, the world around us, etc. It’s also nice being friends with other artists, because we push each other to do better.

🎨🎨🎨🎨Has your art style changed since you’ve started your art career? How so?  

Skill wise I think we’ve all definitely come a long way from when we first started drawing! I think we’ve also improved in terms of artist alleys and conventions by branching out and making art for multiple series’ and trying to create different kinds of merch.

🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨Which series (anime video games, movies, etc) are you currently a fan of? Can we expect to see some fanart of those series at Summerfest?

We’re in a lot of fandoms but we’ll definitely have some stuff for Overwatch, League, KnB, and Osomatsu!

🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨🎨Do you have a Facebook page, Twitter handle, or Instagram we can tag you with?
