Hi

The Year was 2017, After daydreaming since 2012, I decided to share my idea with the world through a webcomic. I didn't have any experience or knowledge of the rules of comics, nor did I have an idea about the basics of anatomy or perspective. Fonts were unharmonised, things were drawn with little to no references, and everything was off. I didn't care; I just wanted to draw. I was in a phase where I drew everything fast, but it wasn't good, and I managed to finish the prologue. The story was only finished till that part, and I kept making it up as I went along. I took a little break from 2018 to 2020 due to academics being my main priority, and in 2020, I was ready to start posting the first chapter. My brain thought midway through the second page and said, why not draw out the entire chapter and then post it all at once so people would have much to read? And it was another waiting game.

In 2023, while in my final years at college, my laptop's hard drive decided to take a final round of applause and took everything down with it, unfortunately, including any progress I had made on my webcomic. I was dumb and didn't truly appreciate the backups until then. There was no point in crying over spilt milk; the damage had been done.

The year is 2024,

I've been mostly absent from the drawing scene after Last Year's Comic-Con due to burnout and working on other projects. Still, I've also taken a crack at redoing Summer Intersection again, with the intention of having it both as a webcomic and (hopefully crossing this off the bucket list) a graphic novel.

While the first version makes me want to claw my eyes out, it helps me realise the improvements I managed to achieve these 7 years.

I cannot promise that I'll finish it all ASAP. This can take me years, but I hope this is a project I hope to see to the very end.

Just keep at it!

2023 Goals

So quickly, the first month of 2023 has already come and gone! The good thing is that this still leaves me with eleven months to fulfill some of the goals I have for myself this year. Although these are pretty common goals, I hope writing them here will resonate with others, and help me manifest✨ them. 

Spend Wisely: I consider myself to be a wise spender in the sense that I don’t buy outlandish things. However, it turns out buying food and “experiences” - think nightlife, restaurants, movies, vacations etc - is still very expensive. I’m going to spend less money this year by being very intentional about what I buy. I’ve heard just keeping track of your expenses can help you lower your spending, so I will try to keep my spending about $20 a day (maybe $50 on special weekends). I’ll also do more no-spend days, especially when I work from home. 

Become a Better Writer & Read More: I put these together because they go hand in hand. My job requires me to read and write all day, every day and I already feel my writing and reading comprehension getting stale after having graduated from college a few years ago. However, this month I just finished Sharp Objects, so already there are some promising wins on this front. Now to think about what my next mini blog post should be on this site…

Drink Less Sugary Drinks: Ugh I will miss you dearly Pepsi. But I already see a possible solution on the horizon. I have fallen head over heels for seltzer water, which gives me that same buzz without the excess sugar and calories. 🙂

(Finally) Learn How to Drive: This is more a necessity than a goal I personally am eager to fulfill. I am starting to sense how difficult it will be to navigate the world as an adult without any driving skills. For this, the first step is to get my drivers permit again, and for that I need to study tomorrow to take the test next week (ideally). 

These are just some of the goals I originally had in mind for 2023, but the truth is I didn’t want to overwhelm myself and end up taking an "all or" nothing" approach to these, as I typically do when i feel underwater. Instead, I will focus on these and give a progress update in April 2023. I’ll track my progress and hopefully convert some of the above into life-long habits!

Finally decided to start putting in the work to build my own website. I think you guys will really like it. My business as I’m sure you’ve noticed is like 3 different businesses in a trench coat, so im looking forward to providing a nice, organized place for you to browse, make purchases, order commissions, and find other information about Alex Shaver Art. I’m thinking it’ll be ready to launch by Friday, but we’ll see how it goes. #alexshaverart#art#artist#artistsoninstagram#artbusiness#artistlife#artistlife🎨#artistlifestyle#artwebsitecomingsoon#artwebsite#artwebsitelaunch#photographywebsite#photographylovers#photographywebsitelaunch#photographerlife#smallbusiness#smallbusinessowner#smallbusinesslife#grind#thegrind#letsgetthisbread#supportsmallbusinesses#lifeofanartist#artfeed#artbusiness#artistsoftumblr#queerowned#queerownedbusiness#queerartist#queerartistsofinstagram#queerbusinessowner https://www.instagram.com/p/CjBunkxPYPo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
