"Bleeding Ink" is a webcomic that I have returned to only at the worst periods of my life. My unemployed twenties, my mother's cancer, and now the hunger games of 2020. And if ever there was a time that I needed to cope and laugh, it has been in the post-apocalyptic wasteland of 2020.

This year, with no constancy at all, I have drawn in comic strip form the little scene-lets of my own experiences with the pandemic, but through the eyes of Bleeding Ink's lead character, Horus Flowerchild. It has been an invaluable therapy tool. I am using a traditional pen and ink, with tone sheets and digital color.

I am very pleased to share the 2020-themed comics with my fellow Pandas.

If you enjoy these, please feel free to read the whole Bleeding Ink series, Covid and non-Covid-related, at the comic's website. Or you can follow all of my work, comics, and film on my Instagram.
Happy New Year, everyone!

    I just find it funny that half of World's population treat toilet paper as the holy grail without which they can't live, & the other half don't even use it.

    She was social distancing before the pandemic and wrote an article about the joys of living such a life. It can be great for some, but that’s their choice and not because of a pandemic.

    No extroverts just whine in real life constantly at how introverts got it so good or how we can remain so silent & collected?? Or constantly pressurizing us into convo. But ya angry meme sounds good. It's traumatizing to hear people screech on a daily basis.
