Images from Elaine Drew’s graphic novel, A Knight’s Bad Day, will be presented by Lamorinda Arts Council at the online Wilder Gallery January 7 through February 3. Visit the gallery at https://lamorindaarts.org/product-category/wilder-online-gallery/. Her graphic novel is set in Wessex, England, in the year 800, a period Drew loves for its romance and mystery.

The important thing is not his failure, but how he turns it around.”
