Everyone in the arts wonders sometimes whether or they are good enough, and questions whether they really ought to be following the path they are. Or so I would suppose. There are probably some exceptions with humongous egos who have never wondered.
I’m in an art class right now that makes me wonder why I’m doing this. I get frustrated and angry, and I think “Why am I here? I hate this. I must not be a real artist.” And I wonder if my fellow students can laugh at themselves, because everything seems so serious.
But that is not the only art I do. And my sketchbooks, full of characters from imagined worlds, remind me that while I am not perfect, I am capable. I have my own style and pieces that I am proud of. And regardless of what one professor thinks Art is, I am a storyteller and I will let no one tell me otherwise.

but doesn’t she just want to go home? What about her dad?

Getting home is her goal, but what Emma wants and what other people want from her are not always the same thing.

That first panel is so sad!
Well, the picture and the first sentence, anyway…
Calendar
Site News
The Missing Knife is live! Pages 1-5 are finished and scheduled to post on Saturdays. Pages 6-9 are underway. The complete chapter should be 24 pages.
June has been productive for comics! I’m hoping to keep things rolling through July; comics production will slow in August as the new school year starts.
I’ve made a handful of site edits: the one I’m most excited about is adding the ability to jump to the start of each chapter through the menu bar! This is an update I’ve wanted to do for a long time, but hadn’t gotten around to. Other edits include minor updates to the About and Social Media sections.
Conventions
Tom O’Brien and I are tabling at SPX this fall! Come see us and buy some comics.
