comics (diary type)
sometimes i make comics. this is where i will put them. none of the comics directly about my life are fictional, and all of them are my way of processing my thoughts and feelings with art.
for some people, art is a tool to separate oneself from and explore ideas they don't normally engage with in a safe and controlled manner. for me, art is entirely how i construct my identity. i don't know how to do it any other way, and have done it like this for as long as i have been conscious. i am sharing pieces of myself with you, and you should be aware of that intention. if you don't like that idea, especially if you don't like the idea of holding a piece of somebody else unwillingly in your hands, i recommend reading something else.
that said, these comics are ones i don't particularly want to share on social media, because the spectacle of it makes me feel Bad in a way that is difficult to articulate. art like this reveals things about those who make it that they aren't aware of or don't intend. the same will happen to me, here. i can't control how you think of me, and i don't want to. i just want to be able to say how i feel without constraint but with as much kindness as i am capable of.
suggestion: if reading the comic itself imparts little meaning to you, read its description as well. i'm of the opinion that visual art should be able to stand on its own, and i make my comics with that in mind, even these diary-type ones. however, reading context via description is optional. sometimes it even makes your experience of a piece of art worse to know the intended meaning, and i personally treasure the small bits of unintended meaning i glean from the art i experience. it makes for a richer experience, to me. that's why i think you should read the descriptions either if the comic didn't do a lot for you, or if you simply want to because you don't care either way. it's true that you can hold dual meanings of a single piece of art in yourself, as well.
i don't say all this as a presumption that my art is going to be life-changing, but instead i'm saying this here as a general suggestion that you can carry with you into all of the art you experience. take it or leave it! if it helps you, good. if not, leave it where it lies.
aside: if imgur is blocked for you where you live, you can get a free VPN
here. i use imgur to host images because if i didn't, i would run out of storage space on this account instantly. so unfortunately, that will not be changing.
