Hey, just wanted to say.. Holy FUCK your art is amazing. * __* I didn't even know you drew for Slipshine, but it doesn't surprise me at all! Seriously though keep up the good work, and try not to feel so bad about yourself in the future, okay? You're great!

Aaw! Thank you! And honestly I’m a pretty happy, confident person. I just have an anxiety disorder, something I learned rather recently, and when it creeps up on me or gets “triggered” (for lack of a better word) I kind of don’t see it coming and I don’t realize the bad feelings are just that, the anxiety disorder, and I try to rationalize it and find something to blame, because that’s what the human brain likes to do — make sense of things that don’t make sense. And it results in me blaming myself or something really trivial or completely unrelated. I’m learning some hard lessons about handling it.

I’m not a sad person at all, I just have stupid episodes I get embarrassed about. I worry a lot that people will assume I’m a sad-sack when I’m a pretty chipper person. I’m just open about a lot of things and consequently communicate anxiety often.

I’m glad you like my art so much! And I’m happy you like my Slipshine work! I’m putting a book together of my naughty comics and people seem pretty excited about that idea :3
