Were you inspired by something? Or is this something you’ve always done?

It's something I've played around with for years, mostly inspired by pictures I would take of certain moments and adding a whimsical, dreamlike feeling to them in the form of short digital art comics and sketches in sketchbooks. I have only delved more deeply into this art form as of last year. My first try at a full comic is also on substack, which you can find here! I've always had a deep love of comics, and don't have the patience to create anything more than several panels, at least not yet! Using poems and prose allows me to see a solid beginning, middle and end, which I find is easier to use to flesh out an idea. I hope this helps!

Beautiful art. "You are not normal - You can never be that now." Is anyone really "normal?"

Oh, this is so interesting. I play with text and art in the form of short lyrics and phrases, but I never thought of making a complete poem in art-comic form. Beautiful work! I am absolutely trying this.

Thank you for the inspiration.

So delighted you enjoyed my comic! It's quickly becoming one of my new favorite mediums of art. It's a very fun way to play around with different techniques within the smaller framings of individual panels.
