I am a 30ish cartoonist with a B.A. Eng. I love to make cartoons and tabletop material. I struggle with a lifelong chronic illness that has cost me friends and opportunities, but I am grateful for my life. If I’m alive and my body and mind are functioning, if I have food and clothes, I will be content.
Where to begin? I am the only child of a single mother. When I was a kid, I was very angry, lonely, and in despair. After I became a Christ follower at a very early age, that anger disappeared, and I didn’t despair anymore. It’s been a wild ride with plenty of heartache and a few regrets. Still, a life knowing Christ is a life worth living.
Then my illness cropped up, gradually, in spurts. Finally it manifested fully. I’m on a lot of medicine to keep me healthy, but it works. I can work some, and I do what I love: make stuff. I became a cartoonist about three years ago. I still I enjoy art, writing, and word pictures and the leaps between them (comics).
I hope you enjoy my work, but if you don’t, that’s okay. I enjoy plenty of work from people who think and believe differently than me, and I hope you will, too. That’s your choice.
