Yes! Pictures! :D And I feel terrible - I didn't sign your copy (it was just so hectic there). If you note me a mailing address, though, I will send you a free sketch of any character you want to make up for it. Just let me know.

I am an artist who has no drive to draw. I can see it all in my head, I just can't put it on paper. Maybe I am depressed or maybe I am tired of being an artist..... I don't know.

Well, I don't wholly agree with these articles anymore, but you can read this: [link] on motivation. I am currently illustrating someone else's project and it is very grueling, drawing 12 hours a day 7 days a week on something that does not offer a lot of personal creative expression. I think the story of the dreamy artist or writer who spends all day thinking up cool stuff and makes a living on their own creativity is probably a fairy tale. It is a day job, like any other job. It has perks: I like drawing more than programming. But it is not "fun."

Suck it up and draw, or find something else to do and re-embrace it as a hobby that you only have to do when you really want to. Or vacillate between the two. No one else can say what will work best for you.

Great work girl, Utah really does give the rest of the Mormons a bad name. I always tell people if you want to learn anything about the Mormons, do NOT go to Utah cause they are snobtards. Good stuff, and yes I am Mormon, but I am a Mexican Texas Mormon. That just means I a nice guy lol and not a SNOBTARD lol

I really enjoyed reading your comics. It's exactly what i was looking for but couldn't find in stores! simple, with a good scenario, lots of fairy tales' and mythologic's references, and i love the characters (the Queen is my favorite, she really is how we expect a fairy queen to be. well done!)
It's fun, cute and gothic in the same time. Love it!

your drawings too are amazing!

(excuse my english, i'm french... u_u)

Aw, thank you! I do love evil fairy queens. ^^ And you have perfect English. As someone who could never speak any of the three languages I studied, you already have me beat.
