Guest 4 – Solitude, by Kimoco
My fourth guest strip was made by Montréal-based artist Kim O’Connor, a long-time friend of mine, who just started using Kimoco as her pen name. Kim and I were part of an amateur art collective known as Studio AOI circa 2000, and as far as I can tell, we’re the only two among that group to be still drawing on a regular basis fifteen years later.
She told me she would do something with Clementine. I went all “aaaw” when I saw all the girls show up in the strip. It’s all very cute.
Then I ended up wondering why the girls are all chilling in some park on Montreal’s South Bank, a good 245 kms (152 miles) away from where they all live. ;)
I promise my friends in Montreal that I’ll officially take the Frivolesque cast there one day, on a visit or something. I know you guys feel left out seeing how Quebec City has the focus in something for a change. ;)
Pay Kim’s new Facebook page a visit!
Nice :)
Could Kimoco be the girl you drew in “Networking”?
Oooh, I bet she is :)
Nope, not even close. :)
Da*n! I was feeling sooo smart.
Oh well, next time :)
Just when you thought it was safe to be alone…
I think she was really surprised because they found her even in Montreal.
Montreal’s so big, Frivolesque would never work there. (with characters always seemingly running into each other randomly)
Poor Clementine… she just can’t have a moment’s peace (her whole life, that is) unless people invade her space XD
It could be worse. Like, Flore’s situation.
Weird how that happens, you think you’re by yourself, then suddenly you realize someone that knows you (not that you always know them) is saying hi & how’s it been…
The fun part is, Clementine doesn’t know half of these characters yet.
Awww Clem’s just to fun to be around!
People are drawn to her, that’s for sure.
