Critics Review
Travis Dandro uses words, pictures, pattern, and texture to conjure moments from his life that are at once specific and fleeting. In its remembrance of profound loss and deep love for friends and family, Hummingbird Heart beats fast but feels timeless. - Jason Lutes, author of Berlin. Dandro has a gift for the cinematic. Times Literary Supplement. This is a powerful debut, skilfully drawn, cleverly told and as raw as a wasp sting. The Guardian. Inventive… A visually engaging and human story of early trauma and how art and the imagination persist through the toughest of times. Library Journal
