There is something fascinating to me in the intricacies that it takes to string together an idea. The composition of a concept, the placement of parts in relation to the whole, what color goes where, how do you compose each panel, how does one moment flow to the next, and more, are all questions that are integral to what I do. There is a puzzle to it which is, if I were to name one, the singular driving force behind why I make art. It is solving a problem, it is knowing a system so well that you can push things just so to make them fall into place.
The concepts I pursue are often not concrete, they are fleeting moments, feelings, and atmospheres. I am a comic artist, an illustrator, and a storyteller, but more than the exact definitions of those words my work is about the depiction of the intangible.
Far From Me is a story told through a non-linear series of moments, composed in a style I like to call “micro-comics”. It follows a college kid returning to stay their home town, and all of the feelings that come along with being stuck in such close proximity to your past.
