August 28th, 2016. The early days of transitioning really exacerbated my social anxiety in public. As usual, despite being visibly trans at the time, this had nothing to do with my actual appearance.

A weird short comic about a tired guy who has anxiety about keeping in touch with his parents, for a weird class assignment
For years, I’ve been drowning my anxiety and depression into work. I
saw several doctors but they said I had no reason to have anxiety so
that must be temporary. It wasn’t. I worked more so I couldn’t have
time to do nothing. Because doing nothing is overthinking. Doing a full
comic book in 2 months beside my full time job ? No problem, I can
handle it. I actually couldn’t. Doing my comic was no longer a pleasure. I
burnt out.
Suddenly, I couldn’t do anything. I spent days crying in bed without knowing why. Why couldn’t I just get up ? What was the point anyway ? My comic book was pointless. I was pointless.
I then remembered what Jonny from Hope For The Day said. “It’s okay not to be okay“. Asking for help is being strong. So I went to the doctor again.
“Starsend” is the third of three short comics in a collection of positive and uplifting genderqueer comics that will be available for purchase in September.
The first short comic is available to read HERE.
The second short comic is available to read HERE.
Starsend is focused on an agender character coming to terms with their identity on Earth. Shout out to sinistraal who helped me formulate the initial concept behind Starsend.
This is a comic I drew recently about my struggles with anxiety and depression. It’s taken me a long time to kinda accept that this is just something I’ve dealt with, and longer to want to really open up about it to others.
I am working on getting back on track and learning how to cope better with these feelings! Things will get to moving about more soon, especially Love Pon! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this. A lot of artists seem to have a similar struggle and are afraid to talk (especially publicly) about it, but it’s an unfortunately common problem. It makes me glad to see more artists sharing their experiences and making it a less taboo subject. I hope things improve for you soon. 💟

Here’s a short comic of Lesbian Mershark Adventures while I work on the next update!
Also, you can now read this comic in chronological order on Webtoon.
Okay is a 16-page short comic about mindfulness and acceptance that I drew last year. You can support me by buying a high-res version of it with bonus art and sketches included! But since it’s part of my public portfolio now, I thought I might as well post it everywhere else as well. (All characters they/them) Read the rest below the cut:

Bringing this back around for World Mental Health Day! I’m a little late because I was on planes all yesterday, but Okay seems appropriate for the occasion. :>
Here is “Knot”, a short comic I drew to sell at Mocca and TCAF this year. The printed version is going to be SO PRETTY. I’m in love with the cover (which I will post later).
I just wanted to do something fairy-tale-like that talked about doubts and frustrations and how to deal with them. I’m really happy with how colorful and adorable the story turned out to be.
If you enjoyed “Knot”, please consider reblogging it and/or checking out my ongoing webcomic Namesake! HUGS TO ALL OF YOU!
I’ve been re-thinking about this comic a lot, so i’m reblogging it.
