strange bedfellows

(i have a lot to say about these dumb sketches lol all that is under the cut. mostly it's me writing down thoughts so i don't forget)

a lot of things in my life happened in rapid succession. i left rehab mostly. fully processed that i am physically disabled bc my body began to fail me & i had the wherewithal to acknowledge it. my art has gotten much better bc of it

this is all to say that i am proud of these even though it is low-effort fanart. low-effort art looks different for everyone but these sketches are all low-effort for me & they look better than some of my fully finished shit from like october of last year.

my favorite one out of all of these is this one. w/ the saw

i think the saw thing was a calvin & hobbes jokes first. ig it's a visual onomatopoeia it's supposed to imply the sound of snoring. i don't actually remember if it was a saw

i read a lot of calvin & hobbes growing up. i went back to read it again recently just to like fact-check this dumb joke. while i was skimming parts i realized that calvin & hobbes is very similar to wha - they're both comics about children & imagination etc they're technically impressive in very similar ways shirahama & watterson are so goddamn good at this shit.

shirahama influenced a lot of my life decisions. i am literally an art teacher now i work w/ kids coco's age. watterson did the same - he was the reason i started drawing in the first place. i want to be better at art than both of them
