I’m baaaaack! 🤪
I hope whoever is reading this had a nice holiday and if not at least we can start over in the new year!
Anyways, I am a little more than 3/4ths finished on part #2 of Desserts! This one is a bit dense but Once I have the first 3 parts complete, a cover art for each dome, and everything inked and scanned, I will be posting them here and in a few webcomic platforms I’m currently working on as well. I’m determined to make it happen before February!
I’d like to take a step back and really talk about Desserts because up until this point I haven’t really elaborated on what this webcomic is really about. This is a story that I have wanted to make known for a while now. It’s about the struggles and confusing things I faced growing up. My goal is to make it as raw and real as possible, which is pretty risky because there will most likely be parts that people close to me will not agree with, but the point is expressing how events and circumstances affected me  specifically. That said, nothings off limits in this illustrated story, and all the crazy shit that’s gone down in my life, the good, the bad, the stupid and just plain weird, will be spilled on the pages. You can see the brief of this story in the “About Me” section of this blog, but that is the extremely brief version. This webcomic intails a great deal more crazy plot twists and raw and real life experiences.
The reason I feel the need for this to Ben my first real full webcomic series is because I love making comics, but growing up I couldn’t find anyone telling a story that was even remotely close to mine. A lot of the time I doubt that anyone could ever relate to the shitshow of a life story I have carried with me, but then I think ‘but what if’. What if just one girl or guy on the internet could relate to it and feel a bit less alone living out their story. That’s why I’m doing this. And it wakes me up in the morning, I feel a purpose to put art and words on paper and tell a true story. I have a ton of other kooky comic ideas just sitting in digital and physical files. But my gut tells me that this needs to come first, this should be my first full webcomic. I thought it would be easy in a sense because the whole story was already there in my head, in my memories. But it has been quite a real challenge. Desserts is a chronicle of my life thus far. And it’s exciting to think that I’ll have a vivid illustrated version of my memories to look back on years from now. Maybe I’ll see that my life has since improved, or maybe only my artistic abilities will improve. Either way, this is a passion project that I don’t plan on giving up on.
