2023 has been a rough year, creatively. It began with a green light from my publisher to work on a graphic novel adaptation of “Red Harvest” by Dashiell Hammett. But after fumbling with it for a few months, I realized that my heart just wasn’t in it. And then I went through the harrowing process of giving up alcohol. I’ve been sober since August, and now that things have settled and I have a new sense of clarity, I’ve decided to commit myself to drawing only what I see in front of me. Right now I’m drawing on index cards, which feels a little like taking polaroid snapshots.
These are beautiful. Thank you for sharing all this!
