My Life In A Nutshell, Part 3

In which I live in the U.S., reject the Kool-Aid, and move back home

Part 1 - Part 2 - Part 3 - Part 4 - Part 5

Over two decades ago, I started a webcomic comic called My Life In A Nutshell. I’m gradually uploading my archives here on Substack. I cringe when I see my art back then BUT it helps remind of the days when I had no professional art aspirations and found it much easier to draw fearlessly. What I’ve learned: Striving to connect with one’s audience trumps technical perfection. Still have to remind myself of this, every time I sit down to draw.

In Part 3, I allude the part of my life when I moved to the U.S. (I used NYC in the comic but in real life, it was Philadelphia), away from Jeff, to work for a company whose new owners who didn’t really understand me or my online community.
