Month: September 2012

Some comments on this story. While this is the end of the comic itself, there are a few pages of extras and an “about the artist” page, which I will be posting as well. Also some stuff about the story and ending. This comic is the result of an emotional crisis I had been going through for the last, 6 months to a year now. At the same time, I had a discussion with my girlfriend, where we talked about being honest and drawing comics. I concluded from the discussion that I wanted to stop being afraid to express how I felt through my comics. This Mermaid comic is one of my attempts to do that. While I have been doing the same thing through Infinity Roads as well, this mermaid comic was a chance to break away from what I normally do and experiment. Essentially, this comic is a reflection on paper of how I have been feeling for the past year on and off. And through drawing it, I feel liberated, sort of better after putting my thoughts down in a medium I love.
Thinking about death or about the meaning of life isn’t an easy thing for me, but by making a comic about my thoughts, I’ve been able to put my mind at ease a bit more than it was a year ago.
So what does this mean for the future? Well every comic I make now won’t be about death or the meaning of life… But I’m going to continue to try and be honest more in my work. Let’s see where this takes us… keep reading!

As a treat I am posting my short, 12 page comic “Metal Mermaid” this week. 1 page a day, enjoy! Infinity Roads will continue after that. around next week!
