Artist Illustrates Heartbreaking Stories Without Using A Single Word (3 New Comics)
Ademar Vieira, a Brazilian illustrator, journalist, and screenwriter, creates heart-touching stories through his captivating illustrations. He manages to grip his audience without using a single word in his watercolor comics. Sometimes, pictures can be more powerful than words and this artist has indeed proved it by his style of ‘picture-based storytelling’.
We have featured Ademar’s works quite a few times on DeMilked. If you haven’t seen them, check them out here, here, and here. This time, we are presenting 3 of his beautiful new stories- “A Christmas story”, “Keep moving”, and “It’s not over yet”. If you are a sensitive person, these stories will not fail to move you. Keep a tissue handy and read his new comics in the gallery below!
#1 A Christmas story
“Once when I was working at a newspaper, I was asked by my editor to write a story about Santa Claus. At first I thought that the story would be silly, but then I realized that Santa might have good stories to tell. I interviewed some of them, and a Santa from a big shopping mall told me this story, which happened in my hometown, Manaus, a few years ago…”

#2 Keep moving
“Our lives are constantly changing. Nothing lasts forever. Things change and losses are inevitable. It’s painful, but there is no recipe for eternal happiness and we can only adapt to everything that comes ahead. This strip is called “Keep Moving” and I dedicate it to all the people who needed or are needing to reinvent themselves to move forward.”

#3 It’s not over yet
“What’s happening in my hometown, Manaus, is mainly the result of the incompetence and lack of planning by government officials at all levels, but some other factors contributed to this tragedy. Ignorance, denying science, fake news and the unfounded notion that the worst is already gone is leading hundreds of thousands to death around the world. Let’s stay alert and careful and mind each other’s own well-being.”
