Actually turning 43 today was a WHOLE lot better than thinking about it while still 42. Working on this little comic I decided to do on a whim while at last week’s Sketch Charlotte meeting. It’s an auto-bio piece whose story is still unfolding. (I did the blue pen sketch while bored outta my mind in a meeting today … something about drawing directly in pen just GETS ME GOING. I think I’ll try this more often.) Enjoy, and here’s to a wonderful kickass 43rd year!
