Monday. I’m starting to feel a lot better. I realised what happened was a combination of vaccine recovery and forgetting to take B12 which makes everything exhausting if I don’t take it.
I had a bit of a breakthrough with the visual essay series I’m working on. It came about because I went to a comics conference dinner with Neal, and I was so inspired by all the comic artists I met there! Ant Sang, Toby Morris, Zak Waipara and more! It was just so lovely to meet them all and talk about one of my most favourite things in the world.
Neal also sent me “Lissa” to read and I read it all this morning. Such a great comic that is rich and complex about culture, religion, healthcare, politics of Egypt and how it affects the friendship of two girls over a period of 10 or so years. I also re-read some of Adam Tots comics and it strengthened my resolve to try to do storytelling in his kind of structure/framework.
