I’ve Added New Stuff And Restocked Old Stuff!

I am the lone weirdo who hates glossy paint and hates glossy varnish and wants everything matte so I can see the colors properly!!

how do you feel about your bart/chris/bobby comic being low-key iconic in some circles? I just read it again and it really brings me totears

I'm glad you find the comic so meaningful.

On one hand, it's gratifying as an artist, to know that my work has resonated with so many people. Based on some of the messages I've gotten from people, the comic has been part of how they processed their own childhood experiences or part of what inspires them to start their own therapy. That's amazing! It's not like I set out with that being the goal of the comic or anything!

On the other hand, it's given me a small experience of "death of the author." I didn't conceive of the comic as a sweeping critique of the "nuclear family animated comedy" or depictions of violence, trauma, or abusive relationships in media. I have LOTS of complex and contradictory opinions on "difficult" subjects in art. I created the comic while taking a class on family and couples therapy, and was inspired by the class to explore how real family/relationship dynamics might occur if I approached these cartoons as real families. I think a lot of people get this backwards -- they see the comic as using a lens of psychology/counseling to critique popular media. My actual experience of thinking up the comic was using popular media to explore what I was learning about psychology/counseling.

That said, I recognize that once something is out in the world, I can't completely control how it's interpreted or used. The positive messages I've received greatly outweigh my ambivalence about how some people view/interpret the comic.

Thank you! Being able to inspire someone in their own art is on of the best things to hear. I wish you the best in your art-making. My advice (which I should listen to myself about) is to be understanding and kind to yourself. Art-making, even when it’s done spontaneously and just for fun, is a learning process. It’s taken years and years of practice, at least 5 of those years in the context of art schools, for me to make art the way I do. And I still want to learn more and change my art and I still get frustrated with it! So if you hit a stumbling block in your art, don’t give up!

I hadn’t really considered doing something with John Redcorn. If an idea came to me, I might do a comic.

I’m biased, so I’d be fine with Family Guy being gone forever and Simpsons re-runs.

I’d never woven anything OTHER than a scarf, so I was kinda flying by the seat of my pants on this.

I’ve finished moving apartments and my repetitive stress injury has improved enough that I can actually do some painting.
