About this Collection

A meditative graphic novel by S. B. R. H. (S. B. R. H. is the author/artist), this standalone volume follows a woman's introspective journey through memory and loss, using watercolor-style art and a nonlinear narrative to explore themes of grief and healing. Published by Avery Hill in 2024, it collects the complete story originally serialized online.

"Adrift on a Painted Sea" is a deeply personal graphic memoir by Tim Bird, blending his childhood memories with the lifelong artistry of his mother, Sue, whose seascapes form a quiet, luminous backdrop to their shared life. Told through a striking fusion of traditional comic storytelling and Sue Bird’s evocative illustrations, the issue captures the quiet rhythm of memory and creation. The story unfolds in a tender, painterly style, with Tim Bird handling writing, inking, coloring, and lettering, while Sue Bird contributes art and cover pencils and inks.
