Ever since I was a kid, I'd look for comic strips in the newspaper and that is how I discovered Garfield. I would go to my local library and rent all Garfield editions and read them over and over again. Then, more recently, I was introduced to Poorly Drawn Lines and Sarah Anderson Comics on Instagram and I love them too.

These were my inspiration to start drawing my comics. I used to draw only funny comics at first with animals as the main characters because I found it easier to use them to express my thoughts. I started making wholesome comics because that was an escape for me from all the worries in these covid times. I love wildlife photography and I wanted to somehow combine that with my comics, so I can also promote these wonderful wildlife photographers who put in so much effort to capture the perfect moment.

I generally look for pictures on Instagram and Pinterest and save the ones that catch my eye. Then I spend some time looking at the image and try to think of various backstories. I try to keep the stories wholesome, which give out a positive message. It takes me 2-3 hours to draw a comic once I have figured out the dialogues.

I used to post daily on my Instagram account but now I post on alternate days. I generally don't feel burned out as the creative process of drawing comics is my escape from the real world and it's how I am able to express myself. So rarely do I feel demotivated. I believe that I have this creative ability to write stories and these will last forever, even when I won't! I love the way I can dream up a story and turn it into comics. There are so many stories to tell; I just want to draw them all!
