My Favorite Thing Is Monsters

"Many were stunned by this monumental, eccentric achievement from an artistic outsider. On page after page, Ferris’ painstaking yet emotionally fraught drawings add up to a kind of controlled explosion of self-expression. The weird and wrenching story – of a troubled young girl trying to solve her neighbor’s murder – is almost a bonus. Ferris works in rollerball and painstakingly manipulates her sketches to look like her protagonist scribbled them hastily in a school notebook. In fact, they’re layered in by computer, with even the notebook lines added digitally. It’s a haunting and iconic effect."
