Making comics has been a passion of mine since I was a kid, and I think in the back of my head I knew it was always something I wanted to spend my life doing. I spent most of my 20&#8217;s adrift just doing jobs I felt had to do to get by, but when covid quarantine hit in 2020, it stirred up a lot of reevaluation and self reflection, and it finally got through my thick skull that the most important way to live life is to never give up on your dreams. I had been keeping mine on the backburner waiting for the &#8220;right day to start&#8221; but then I realized the right time is right now. So here I am now, finally writing and self-publishing, and I hope the world enjoys what I have to offer!
