Well, it took a month, but it’s finally here!
I think I will be able to work a bit faster with the new workflow I have in place, and hopefully the next installment will be finished in less than a month.

At long last the first installment of my comic strip is done! I would have liked to have posted this before Thanksgiving, but I’m happy to have it finished, regardless of the timing. More to come, hopefully on a fairly regular basis.
So this morning I was thinking maybe I should focus my artistic energy on animal-rights/veganism etc., you know, stuff that reflects what I really care about (like the comic I recently started). Later, I got an email from PETA, you know, the kind that makes your blood boil, so I started thinking about it MORE. A bit later still, I decided to listen to an interview with illustrator Keri Smith and she said the key to getting published is doing your best work, the work that’s really meaningful to you, and I look up at the email on my screen (I was at my day-job as a Logistics Specialist) from a carrier looking for a phone number for a customer and my eyes land on the customer’s address. The street name? Sanctuary Ct… Sanctuary is the name of my comic. All coincidence, I know, but still…
Anyway, here’s a series of reusable sandwich / snack bags I designed to subtly promote veganism, i.e. don’t eat animals, eat LIKE an animal:
and a mockup of a drinking cup to go with your sandwiches and snacks:
