I often joke that I’m “heading off to the comics mines” when I buckle down to work.
For me, making art is a rewarding but often difficult process. Nothing flows out, I have to patiently carve everything out. My office is dark and quiet (aside from my cat), perfect for creating, but also perfect for going stir-crazy — especially when something isn’t working. I’m grateful that it’s a space I can close the door on as needed, as work-life balance is very important to me!
