Here’s how my embroidery turned out!

Every year Hourly Comics Day takes place on the 1st of February! It’s a fun way to share a small slice of life. As some of you know, autobio is where my heart lies. On the actual day, I only had time to jot down quick stick figures in my sketchbook and then I went back later and re-drew everything all nicely just for this update. Matt and I pulled out all the bells and whistles on this one, it took us almost 2 weeks to draw and color! I hope you all liked this honest look at my February 1st.
Check out some of our friends’ Hourlies too! Abby Howard, Lucy Bellwood, Lucky Knisley, Danielle Corsetto, Melanie Gillman, and here’s a great big list with loads more!
I also wanna take this moment to recommend the graphic novel Marbles by Ellen Forney. I read it before I was diagnosed as Bipolar II myself, but wow, did it reach out and grab me by the heart with how much I could relate to it. Maybe a year or so after it came out, I received my own diagnosis and it was like “Ooohhhhh…. No wonder.” I dunno, guys. I’m still learning a lot about my disorder, still learning how to best manage it and take care of myself. It’s hard work and I’m so, so, so grateful for the support network I have who looks out for me and loves all of me, including the crazy bits.
