I'm very thankful for the ppl who support our comic and my art. Leaving LA wasn't a though decision for me, but it was a financial hit.

But you know what? Making art for companies wasn't making me happy. Money was good, but all I could think about was working on the comic.
When my company outsourced, I said that's it. I want to focus on our comic. We moved in with his grandparents and adjusted our lives to give me a chance to continue with the comic.
There are days when I wonder if I made the right choice.
It mostly comes from seeing no real progress for years. I have all this time, why am I not further along?

This feeling of lost time also comes from seeing old peers advancing while I am seemingly stuck in obscurity.

But I eventually realized, I didn't want the same things as them. Now I look at them with admiration

Fast Fwd: When it comes to the comic, I'm at a place of determination and calmness.

I like what I like, will draw what I like. And that freedom to express and explore has made me so happy.

And I think that has made other ppl happy too.
How awesome is that, right?
