I have used PCs most of my career but sometimes I think my brain runs on Mac. nut because it’s a better machine (they both have their pros and cons for different applications), but because when a Mac freezes, sometimes the only fix is to turn it off and pray. A PC gives the user a few more options to get the machine up and running again without the required hard-reboot. So when it freezes…

There was a period of time where my old computer collected dust in my office because I was using the new laptop more and more. I felt guilty about that.

I was very driven was I was younger. By the time I was 16 I was working as an assistant for Ken Penders on the Sonic the Hedgehog books for Archie Comics. By the time I was 19, I was working as a storyboard artist at O Entertainment on the thumb movies.

The teacher told my parents that my drawing was distracting to the other students. The behavioral class had instructors there that were trained to spot personality and mental issues. They realized I was bored, not problematic and required far more stimulation than what I was getting.

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.

Long time no update! These comics have been hiding in a box in storage for half a year and were drawn well before that. As mentioned in the last post, we’re rearing up for a darker turn in the subject matter towards dealing with depression and other issues. It might be tough to see. When I made these comics I wasn’t ready to show them to anyone. Enough time has passed that they don’t hurt so much.
