    Be Strong

    “Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.” – Mahatma Gandhi – I’m on a new mission. I want to say that it’s the beginning of a “new series,” but I’m afraid that’ll jinx it. On the other hand, part of my mission involves the relentless pursuit of positivity, so…

    Sunflower Sunday

    When I was a graphic design major (very briefly), my biggest takeaway was that creativity is not really taught.

    Airing My Laundry

    Today seemed like a good day for some lightheartedness. The image is a remake of a character that was in one of my short (somewhat) graphic novels. Basically, I’m pretty sure that all I changed was her skirt (and the background of course). I’m not sure how I got the idea of “airing her dirty…
