Here's me, in Malaysia, in baju kurung, pissed off and/or incredulous about something - I'm beginning to sketch some practice drawings with grayscale markers for how I want the final drawings in my book to look. Eep! Exciting that I'm just about at this point, but also nervous to leave behind the quick, sketch-y comfort of drawing thumbnails. ✍🏻#doyouspeakmalay #graphicnovel #comic #grayscale #grayscalemarkers #malaysia

This is how I picture uncertainty. When I wonder if I'll ever be able to somehow release my book into the world and into your hands, I find a kind of comfort in the fact that no one's saying No but also no one's saying yes. It inspires me to work as hard as I can in this no-man's land. Uncertainty is not such a bad thing. #uncertainty #doyouspeakmalay #yes #no #keepgoing

~150 pages of thumbnails for my book (about teaching English in Malaysia.) Since November. Woo hoo, patting my own back! Still lots of hard work to go, though. Good thing I love the work. ✍🏻💁🏻 #doyouspeakmalay

If you're looking to quickly draw an Angry Bird from memory, I probably can't help you. #doyouspeakmalay #angrybirds

This is what life in Malaysia felt like sometimes. (Or life traveling. Or life in general sometimes, regardless of place?) #doyouspeakmalay

Just about finished reading a year's worth of journals (7 to be precise) for my graphic novel. At first it was scary, weird and surreal. But it's amazing to see the experience of culture shock documented so clearly and firsthand. #cultureshock #travel #journal #graphicnovel #doyouspeakmalay
