Big mood. Realized I’ve been in this city for a Whole Decade, On Purpose, so possibly I think? I love it here?

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

I think nearly the entire Horror genre boils down to the idea that it is worthwhile to fight until your very last breath. Even, and maybe especially, when there is no hope.

Weird fungus I saw on a rotting log on the way to work! Enchanted by how purple it was. It turned an off white color when I checked it on my way home.

a sketch of a burrowing owlet standing tall but instead of an owl face it is a human lipless face with teeth and a tongue screaming.

No amount of marketing advice or hustle culture bullshit about monetizing followers will fix the structural problems that make freelance art careers so difficult. Maybe spend more time asking why people can’t/don’t want to pay us? Why society can’t support us?

My #1 advice for new folks looking to break into comics!!!

1) Never, ever quit your day job. In fact, maintain that career for your entire life, never even thinking of it as a goal that one day you will work 'Full time in comics."

Comics will not last. Your day job will.

Scratchboard style Comm. These are such a blast to make, I need to find time/opportunities to use this style more. It’s time intensive but very pleasing.
