Real life

 

Eaahhhhhh. Funny how my silly little comics have resonated with so many people, and with no effort on my part to distribute them, I notice they're in lots of different countries and being shared in some interesting places, heheh.

Perhaps this is because my comics are about real life. About those moments that are so unbearably special, so nothing-y on the face of them, but that strike us in the guts when they happen. So when we write/draw/make music about those things, if they are real - that art connects with people in a deep way, because we all know ... yeah. I've felt that one. I've seen that curve, or felt that awkwardness. I've smelled that smell during that hug. I've accidentally stroked that arm or touched that hand while passing a mug of coffee. I've nuzzled a bit too close during a reunion, and felt something. I've stayed overnight somewhere and shared that bathroom, and maybe I didn't see anything, but maybe they did. Maybe, maybe. Ahhh, real life. Awkward and painful and wonderful.

Comic update: I've done the first few scenes, and we're getting on for a third of the way through! Yay! :)

  2. How much I agree with you... And how much we are doing the same way (even if obviously my story is totally different and I'm 2D artist); but the moods, feelings, atmospheres are really near yours. So I understand very well what you have wrote. Good luck

  3. Experience as its finest. No one can fake it until they went through it.

It's official! I'm part of the STFW universe!!!

I've been doing some work on this blog, including an exciting new Feedback page - please do leave some feedback about any of my first three comics on that page, if you like; it will help me :) And I haven't had a chance to blog about it - been so busy recently and I've been meaning to, but ... after a few email back-and-forths with Sindy Anna Jones (bit of a hero and a mentor for me), the Rather Magnificent Family Bubble is officially within the Sindy (/&STFW) comic universe!!!! I am so excited about this! Well, I was a few months ago when it happened, haha! How it happened was I had some ideas for maybe weaving a few of my characters into their Lithium comic plot, and they have kindly added me into their series listing at the end of their recent standalone comic, Grace, look: ... anyway, the plot tie-in will start to make more sense within my comic number four. So check back! And if you haven't read Grace , or Lithium, or any of Sindy's work ... you are very ...
