research and other wanderings - see my website! There are comics and a store and everything: Hark! A Vagrant

sadfunnytrue asked: You're an inspiration to this little nobody cartoonist. I hope to be successful as you one day. And also that I get to meet you. Also, if you haven't already, Christina of Sweden (a queen who was actually crowned "King" and had an affinity for hats with feathers) might be of interest to you.

Thank you!  Listen: we are all little nobody cartoonists at the start.  In some ways it’s a nice place to be because you have the time and space to figure it out, and do what you love because you love doing it.  You feel good about your accomplishments because they mean a lot to yourself, your toughest critic and main audience.  Once it becomes your job, a little of that light disappears, though you count your lucky stars.  Remember when you do make it (and why shouldn’t you?) that you still need to be your toughest critic and main audience.  It’s a good perspective to keep.  

Christina of Sweden was great, I know!
