Washed up

Going somewhere?

Over the years, I have considered many ways to begin this adventure. Which location to use, what characters to reveal or how to best introduce  you to these twisted realms, full of strange dreams and terrible nightmares.

A creative identity is something I have struggled with for a long time, taking just as long to figure out and develop as drawing or painting.

Eventually, the idea of a mysterious patient forced to explore the truth of theserealms, while discovering his own identity, seemed like a great

way to start the journey ahead.

I tried to develop an original art style that incorporates my history of design with black and white inked work, while keeping the rough “indy” vibe that originally inspired me to make comics.

As a name that is very new to comics and not being a widely known artist, I felt the added pressure of finally showing the public an interesting and original setting, while also protecting its greatest ideas and secrets from a world of copycats and A.I. The design and storytelling choices, as well as choosing which of my characters and ideas to use or protect, made this project a heavy idea for a lot longer than I expected.

Overall, it has been a humbling but satisfying experience after learning the passion and dedication required to craft my first issue of a 22 page comic. It feels like I have travelled many roads of the realms a thousand times, meeting characters that never had faces, but have constantly evolved into what we are  about to discover together.
