I've not done an inktober or been motivated to do an art "challenge" since 2017, but I have been thinking about making some zines again, and maybe just printing some B&W work would be cheap and cool.
Somewhere, out there in the world, a couple people have prints of this.
- What’s that one thing that inspired you to make drawing your consistant hobby?
- How has your art changed over the years?

I started drawing when I was pretty little, so I dont remember the first sparks of inspiration. A lot of my early drawings were sailor moon, kirby, and dragons. Nothing ever felt as rewarding or freeing as drawing. I never really put it down for very long, and the periods of my life where I felt like I had to really slow down, I quickly get a bit despondent.

I think that overall, I got more comfortable with the themes and shapes that I liked. through middle and high school, it was still dragons, self portraits, and WoW fanart. I started to explore a wider range of visual interests as I went through art school. The Dags, as they are now, is a post college thing.
Jeremy Sorese's comic The Short While, and Michael Deforge's book Leaving Richard's Valley are wreaking havoc on my mind right now. Such freedom in their style and approach to narrative.
I'm also loving 3rd Voice.
