Hello. I love all your drawinhs and comics. I was just curious how long you have been drawing already?
I used to do black and white pencil and coal drawings......22 years ago.😅
Best regards.😄
Helloo! I’ve been drawing since I was a kindergartner and have been a professional illustrator for a good 25+ years. So a very…very very…oh so very… long time.
And I hope I skid into my coffin with pencils in my hand and a trail of sketches behind me!

Happy World Goth Day!
Here's Goth me in the '80s on my way to a high school dance. I call this Replicant Goth. I was REALLY trying to look like Sean Young in the original Blade Runner movie.

A growing number of Gen Z feel that once an emoji is overused, the meaning becomes the opposite. So 👍 is now insincere, fake, and even sarcastic. Meanwhile, Gen X'ers use it EVERYWHERE!!!

As a "Gen 'X'er, this bike represents the main mode of transportation during my teens. High speed, low drag. It was a 20" BMX wheel base which carried me through my paper route.

A second coming out...
...and it's just as loud as the first one was.
(Warning: I get really philosophical and introspective when the edibles kick in. Only fair to let you know.)
ANYWAY... I was just sitting here thinking about how often I mention my OCD and ADHD over the last couple of years. I'm going to be 49 years old in a few days, and so it was quite a revelation to find out that two short groups of letters could explain so much about My.ENTIRE.Life.
So of course I'm going to talk about it a lot as I go through my day and consciously notice the behaviors, traits, habits, etc. that belong under the umbrella of those two disorders. Other people might get tired of hearing about it, but it's impossible to not be gobsmacked and want to share how much you're learning about yourself and the revelation that you're not broken, lazy, weird, or wrong... just different.
Which got me thinking about how, in the early 90s, I saw several friends go from in the closet to FLAMBOYANTLY out. It was like when the switch flipped, there was no dimmer... it went from being in the dark to having your entire being shine because you were so freaking relieved to have a word - and other people - that you could see yourself in. Something that acknowledged that how you felt was real and it wasn't wrong, because you weren't alone.
I came out as bisexual when I was 16. My parents proceeded to inform me that it was a "bid for attention from boys" and "a phase that will pass" and "just trying to shock people". Which only made me want to be even louder about it because I was tired of hiding who I was to fit in to others' expectations.
When I started mentioning my OCD/ADHD (and lately, as I've been researching and listening to therapists, the realization I am likely at least slightly autistic), my parents once again are rolling their eyes at the idea that their child is different in a "bad" way. The only way their child should be different is being more attractive and intelligent than others. Any of my "problems" were just a lack of discipline and the letters are just excuses.
Fuck that noise. I'm going to drown it out with my growing knowledge of myself. I'm going to be "loud and proud" and I am not going to let anyone tell me that I'm broken ever again.
Now if I could just remember what task I was doing before my ADHD kicked in and I came over to write this post...
