Grief takes many forms, including the absence of grief
I tend to write first thing, and then do my drawing later. I like to draw at night. But often I go for long stretches without drawing, because I'm trying to figure out what I'm writing.
Sometimes I wish the writing and drawing were more integrated.
Partly I resented being perceived as weak because I was a girl.
I get to do for a living what I did as a child for fun, and that's pretty cool.
Watching everyone root through their psyche, it just delights me. Especially R. Crumb's stuff.
