I drew this last year... at a time I was poised for many successes in life. I was thinking of making a "feels comic" about lessons I had learned in day-to-day stuff using mainly human silhouettes and minimal words.
Shortly after drawing this, my world fell apart, as you'll read about in the next episode. I'll be posting that tomorrow if I can, but for now here is an intro to the new comic.
This would not exist without the much-needed support of my Denmates (you know who you are) and you guys, my Dragon Army... the people who get enthusiastic about my art and sympathetic over my trials and just joke around with me every day and endure my dramas. <3
Thank you for showing up. Thank you for your continued to support. I have a lot of stories I want to share here... each one of them difficult and beautiful in their own way. I hope I can keep going until each one is told. We'll see.
Till then, remember that I love you and I believe in you. Always. <3
This comic is a conversation about life's trials and triumphs. Things aren't always right and fair... but magic can be found everywhere.
Alchemy (in mythology) is about turning lead into gold. Alchemy (in life) is about something heavy, like sorrow, pain, guilt, anger, fear... and turning it into light, strength, wisdom, hope and love.
I will be sharing a lot of personal stories here, and I hope that isn't uncomfortable for anyone. The purpose behind being so open is threefold.
1- To facilitate greater healing for myself as I share my stories in a way I never have before.
2- To facilitate greater healing for others who also have difficult stories.. maybe stories they cannot share.
3- To bring greater understanding for those who have never experienced these sort of pains in their own life and want to gain insight and sympathy.
Whatever you get out of this series, I want you to know that I sincerely believe you can take anything in your life and use it for good. A stepping stone instead of a stumbling block.
Your soul is the Philosopher's Stone. Use it to turn lead into gold. Shine with the greatest potential you have locked away inside.
