This moment in Kid Lobotomy is the closest I have ever come to the feeling I most long to achieve with my work. The perfect marriage of all my favorite elements of storytelling and themes and emotions. A single poignant high that I've been chasing ever since.

In case you didn't know, Volume 1 of the autobiography is due out later this year (illustrated by me). There are enough pages done for a further 3 volumes. The second photo gives an indication of how many pages are in the 'inventory' (below the post-it note)!

Today was one of the most important of my year so far— signed a contract for a major project + got looped in on another incredible job.
This morning when I woke I couldn’t have imagined today would like this. Your day is coming ok? You won’t see it coming, start doing the work.
