Tabling at Goblin Market today at Stanley Arts in Norwood. Come for comics and trinkets!
Drawn after reflecting on my own experiences with social anxiety disorder. Unsure whether I'm ready yet to turn this subject into a comic but, it was cathartic to, at least, draw this!

Less than 24 hours left to back our ACID BOX kickstarter!
“If you missed the ‘90s rave scene, or forgot what all the fuss was about, you need ACID BOX. It’s part time-travel treatise of a cultural phenomenon, and part personal journey—as a club scenster tries to save her brother” —Shelly Bond
A meme from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. In the top panel, one man labeled "literally every company" hands a plate labeled "AI" to a man labeled "me." In the bottom panel, the man labeled "me" nonchalantly tosses the plate down the hallway, discarding it with casual disdain while the first man watches.
Time to post it again.
I did an art thing.
Happy to contribute, fed up with AI creeping into the arts.

btw if you're so petrified of doing a bad job that you can't even start, then what you need isn't advice on how to make comics. you need to learn to embrace being messy and bad at things and being okay with that because it's necessary, and actually it's GOOD. being messy is WONDERFUL
First time drawing someone else's character, a fun experience!
I need an idea notepad. I keep writing things on scraps of paper, then have to remember not to throw it away before I note it down on my sheet!
