What's Going On

Short Story Comic

I tried to step out of my comfort zone with this comic. Both by making it as concise as possible, but also by using a tone and setting I'm not used to. It's a growing experience.

Er...fair warning that it's kind of violent lol

I'm really excited about what I'm working on next (i.e. right now). But it'll be quite a bit before it's done lol

Random Drawings

Drew these for my church:


What I've been thinking about

I'm learning that:

  • Pushing for more quantity is good for helping you stick with a habit, but doesn't grow your skillset that much and makes you a bit bored
  • Pushing for more quality is good for growing your skills, but doing too much makes me burned out and unexcited whatever I'm doing

I'm trying to find my own balance between the two.

I'm also learning to be more modest with my goals so that I can be more sustainable over the long term lol. I know my tendency is to go hard for short periods of time and then never want to touch the topic again.

We working on it

Anyways, I guess you might have noticed I'm drawing more again. But let's not get too excited here

Many are the plans in the mind of a man,
but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand.
- Proverbs 19:21

Thank you!​
