Panel crop from a short comic produced for a Stray Lines anthology at the upcoming @offset_insta festival, and the original observational sketch it’s based on. I’m constantly trying to bring the loose and direct energy of those sketches through to the finished piece. I’ve been playing with that approach for a couple years now. predominantly in short, observational, ‘poetic’ pieces but i feel the need to bring that approach to a more developed narrative again, which is one of my aims for 2018. The comic that the above panel is from speaks to that feeling. Change is in the air. #straylines #comics #process

"We rarely talk anymore. But that wasn't the problem. I'm okay to less talk; the obligation to speak or type whatever's in my head tires most of my brain regions. The problem is I get this feeling that you are slowly drifting away, not because our poles are the same, but because you are being attracted by an outer force that is much stronger than I am. And with that, there's nonthing more I can do – there's nothing left for me to do. A spark is called a spark for one reason: it does not last. It should either ignite into a flame, or die into thin air. Soon we might stop talking for good. And it scares me. A lot. But I'd get by. Or maybe not."

Psssst: A unique irreplaceable thing about you is the memories and fun we had at A&G last year! (It's too bad we haven't seen each other since then but very SOON!) You're also very kind, even when other people would get snippy, which is pretty darn rare! You're really good with words too, some of the things I've seen you post are very moving! Lastly and perhaps too obvious: YOU!! you're unique and irreplaceable :D Keep being super cool, friend-o!

Thanks Kid, you are pretty swingin’ yourself, and can not wait to see you and all of our other A&G staff family. our crib will be crawling with cool cats.

2015 - My first ever published work was in an anthology series collected by Sarah Bowie and Debbie Jenkinson from the Comics Lab, and published by Straylines. Really enjoyed doing this one, but i can also understand i may have gotten carried away and look too busy.
