I've been drawing cartoons on the web for over ten years. In that time, I have struggled a lot to feel comfortable calling myself an artist and have gone in many different career directions in part because of my challenges with claiming this identity. With the help of other artists and deeply wise people who I wisely gathered around me, I have changed. Today, it is hard for me to see myself as anything other than an artist. And I'm excited to be here in the world making art.
