She is an unnamed heroine of my own creation.
Loosely based on Macavites character Merideth, I drew her in a series of sketches while Shane Nitzsche was staying with us. Shane did me the honor of inking her.

You know, the final pep talk from Chris Baty arriving in my inbox always makes me kind of sad. I mean, I'm already depressed about whatever else is wrong with my life and the anniversary of my dad's death, but the end of Nanowrimo brings me just as...

Coralline, I was sure that when I returned home,
It was you that Id seen, huddled and unclean and hunched in the alley,
Some smelly retreat, the muttering beat of your heart that palpitated and wheezed,
