This was a comic I drew for myself in my sketchbook while I was visiting home during my time at MCAD. My household wasn’t the best growing up. There was a lot of tension. It was weird as an adult walking back into that after being out of a toxic environment like that for so long while in school. But also the good things about visiting home again.

This is true. My parents called me (jokingly) their retirement plan from an early age. This puts a hell of a lot of pressure on a kid.

This week’s comics are going to focus on childhood pressures to become something great with my talent. My father had an extensive art library full of sketches and paintings of the masters. I knew names like Rembrandt and Picasso before I knew the names of actors. I knew several of their paintings by sight before I could write their names in cursive. I was groomed to be an artist from an early age.
