You guys I am so excited. It is ALMOST the point where I will get to post the comics that are, well, actual intentional comics. Meaning that I drew them with the intention of making art, to show people, to live and breathe and be in the world. This is just a little sketch but it was the germ of an idea – a turning point. Maybe. Anyway, keep reading! Please? I promise it starts to make sense. I promise!
What initially caused you to decide to start posting? I think it’s a great idea of course!–I’m just curious what flipped the switch for that particular light bulb.
What a horrible metaphor, I am done with words for good. I don’t deserve them
You don’t! I don’t know exactly what the turning point was, but the way I experience the work of other artists like Erika Moen (or in print, Julie Doucet) who tell these gripping autobiographical stories was what made me think other people might respond to my diary comics. So basically I am a copycat.
But a glorious copycat! as mighty Rome to the noble Grecians.
Seriously though, you and Moen each have endlessly fascinating lives, internal and external both. Your work doesn’t lose out where it’s similar to hers, rather for me you’re mutual foils. Complements not substitutes!
