Self-publishing comics is often a controlled demolition of my finances and sanity, but I'm pretty happy it's me knocking down my own building on days like this.

Yeah, re-evalaution and discovering what I find exciting? Way cooler than self loathing over the fact I wasn't as good at drawing hands or whatever five-ten years ago

I think there's also a lot to y'all's discussion of looking at your past art with a sense of where you were internally versus where you were skillwise. Struck me hard particularly when I'm working on a project that is in part fulfilling a lot of the promises I made to myself at like 20.

Iโ€™m never really one to understand where people git grouchy about what Criterion releases. Donโ€™t have to be completionist for a company.

Don't think a convo like this could land at a better time for me. Great discussion on the process and purposes of making art. Find a lot of similar thoughts bouncing around my skull from time to time.

"I am not complaining about football I am complaining about being in a football town" is a sentiment I hold and will never say anywhere near my local friends for fear of being labeled a guy who says "sportsball"

Oh yeah, though this was more a sequence of events that lead to what I found to be a pretty moving ending all its own and didnt want to tarnish it. So I def intend to revisit.

Adore that game, but weirdly never properly finished it. Reached a point that felt like such a natural conclusion for my version of Harry that I had to stop that play through. And like I mean that as the utmost compliment to the game's writing. Certainly due another run.
