To be honest, I was lucky enough during this pandemic to save enough money for my first ever iPad. I didn’t draw for so long I just wanted an easy way to get back to it since a computer takes too much space in my apartment. I was surprised people actually liked my work!

More info: Instagram

Most of my art style is pretty much my own thing, but on a subconscious level, after reading so many comic books and manga, I always loved "deadpan" humor, something we only see in manga mostly. It’s all about very passive facial expressions towards the silliness of a situation

I’m very slow when it comes to drawing. I can be productive but I’ve got a bit of ADHD checking my phone every 5 minutes. Making a strip usually takes anywhere from 5 to 8 hours, usually what speeds up my process is when I’m confident that my joke is funny, I get excited and my focus becomes way better when it comes to the whole process..

The way I bring my jokes to life is that I usually think of a situation and crank it up to 11. I try to do something original but there’s always some doubt that maybe it has been done before. However, I came to peace with it knowing that if it happens, it’s just an honest mistake.

I am already proud of myself to have made it this far. I’m just at the beginning and I already have such cool followers. Sometimes I don’t get to do as much as I want to, it’s a lot of work for me and my energy levels get drained, but at the same time, I'm excited when I think of a good joke.

And it seems like all the good news is just covers for ads.

So far I've had good feedback. I think my work is original and unexpected... and at the end of the day, if I can bring out a few real laughs from people, then I’m happy. And so far people wrote me that they actually laugh out loud for real! It's the best kind of validation I can get, personally.

The part I enjoy the most while drawing a script is the lighting and/or shadowing. It’s just therapeutic and it makes a bland strip POP as it takes its final form. Also, it signals the end of the work and then I know that soon I can just post it and see how people will react.

I don’t use social media normally, for me Instagram is alien... I still don’t know how to use it well. But from my research, it’s the best place to post comics. The way we can post panel by panel makes it easier to read on a smartphone, and also thanks to it, I‘ve met with multiple webcomic artists who were all super supportive and kind and for the first time in a long time, I felt like I belonged somewhere.

Digital for me is the only way to go. I lost the pen and paper art since I left school. Like a lot of artists, scribbling on notebooks was the foundation of our craft. Then I discovered the Wacom tablet and a bulky computer and after that, I never looked back. Of course, I stopped for a long time for personal reasons, but I was eyeing the iPad and always thought it was a luxury that I didn’t need and I’d probably just draw on it for a few days and let it gather dust. I was wrong. I only use it to draw, this fact remains true... but it lets me be creative and fun again. It reminds me that I like to draw and that there are people who enjoy my work. Thanks to it, I finally got my hobby back.

I got sucked up in the social media frenzy. I used to be anti social media. I didn't have Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram before (I still don’t have Facebook) because it was just too much information about people that I didn’t want to have. But now, with the possibility to share my work, I’m ashamed to say that having instant feedback on my strips and seeing all the "likes" has become somehow a bit of a drug to me, it’s a bit of an ego boost and in the end, I work hard to make a few people laugh. So validation and "fame" is kind of a motivator, to be honest.
