And in Constantly, gg depicts it as an ever-present, shadowy monster with a hydra-like ability to create two more problems as soon as one is dealt with. Grace referred to it as ‘the sads.’ Nao’s titular character denotes the impact of its arrival by a rating of 1-10/10. It’s a concept that has been touched on in OGNs before, such as The Nao of Brown by Glyn Dillon, or Nothing Lasts Forever by Sina Grace. In the opening pages of her newest graphic novel, Constantly, gg uses this contrast in tandem with a dream sequence to present the comic’s overall message. This simple palette effectively pulls viewers from peaceful mediums to cloistering lows with striking aesthetic contrast. Soft pinks and greys reminiscent of 1940s French illustrations pool against refreshing whites and crisp lines of black and navy.
