i tried to post this last night but completely fizzled out. the truth was i was feeling incredibly low, for a variety of reasons, but the main reason is because this is who i am. i am a sad boy with a very deep sadness that i have struggled with my entire life. #drawing #mentalhealth #illustration

it’s me. the comic is about me. it’s about me moving too fast, trying to find shortcuts, and inevitably falling behind. i am very rarely in the present moment. i am often looking down the road at what lies ahead instead of what is right in front of me. #comic #relatable #mentalhealth

i’ve always felt the need to prove myself. deep down i worry that i won’t be loved simply for being me, and so it’s up to my accomplishments and accolades to justify my self worth. as a result i can be very competitive, inevitably seeing others as threats rather than comrades.

this is only my fourth post and i already feel like i’m not doing enough. this is why i am sometimes cautious to embark on new tasks, because once i get past the initial first step, the taskmaster takes over and demands a cavalcade of new and prolific work.

i always feel like i would be a lot less stressed if it were socially acceptable to talk to myself throughout the day. i don’t need much, just as occasional reassurance. it also feels good simply to speak. #drawing #comics #creativity

i drew this last night while listening to “the subtle art of not giving a fuck.” it felt good to keep busy. sometimes i am hesitant to re-engage my artistic pursuits because of how obsessive it made me. i am trying to not give ‘a fuck’ #drawing #illustration #mentalhealth
