how do i rest

March 13, 2023 / Art & Comics / comic, sketchbook

I’ve been avoiding the word “burnout” for months, because saying it out loud feels almost like an admission of defeat. How can I be burnt out if I’m still moving and getting things done?? but I’ve been tired for way too long, so something is definitely off.

I’m trying my best to take things more slowly this year—keeping boundaries, gaming every now and then, seeing friends…it’s really hard to stop when you’ve been an overachiever for so long, but I’m sure I can find some sort of balance eventually. We’ll see…!!

Pocket Sketchbook 2021–2023

February 21, 2023 / Art & Comics / drawing, sketchbook

It’s them

January 24, 2023 / Art & Comics / demons, digital

Some little doodles of these demons that I did while playing around in Procreate—I rarely draw “finished” stuff that isn’t comic work these days, so this was fun! I’ve been really enjoying these little characters, and playing with the halftone brushes from Halftone Hospital.

Social Media Demons

(Last updated on December 12, 2022)

A little comic I drew back in September, though the little devil characters have been lurking between my notes for a couple months now…I’ve been having a lot of thoughts/feelings about being online, so it felt nice to put some of that down on the page.

UPDATE: The original comic ended up doing some pretty good numbers (now I jokingly call it “my hit tweet”), so I drew a little sequel:
