What should I draw? Hmmm...uhhh... God, I have no idea. Okay, I guess I'll draw a shape or two. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Okay, cool, a head. Nice. Let's give it some spikey hair. Damnit...it looks like Dragon Ball Z. Eh...Whatever. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Ah crap, the eyes look like their from Scott Pilgrim. Yeah, I am pretty sure I've seen hundreds of other illustrators Draw the exact same character. Shit. Yeah, this is definitely not original. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Oh! I'll add a "0" on the forehead! That's weird and unique, right? Yeah... Hmmm...pretty sure I've seen something similar On Instagram. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Yeah this is pretty unoriginal. Derivative as shit. But everything is, right? Everyone has their influences, right? "Steal like an artist," right? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I know, I'll tighten it up as a vector. Ah, damnit...I always do that. Typical. I'm just falling into my habits. Am I even growing? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Or is it "original" to express the "unoriginality" of something? Wait, did Warhol do that? Fuck, what is anything anymore? 

Beginning of November my friend, client, and fellow tango dancer, Pooja, flew me out to Austin, TX to help her with the branding of her new business. However, this trip was not all work and no play. Thanks to Pooja I had the pleasure of seeing how Austin has kept it weird with their vibrant scene of art, music, tango, and food!  GUESS WHO ELSE WAS IN AUSTIN!? Two days into my trip, I opened Instagram and saw that design legend Aaron Draplin was in town! The story of how our paths crossed in Austin is quite remarkable (and may feature a shenanigan or two). Be sure to ask me about it in person and I'll let you in on the details! 

It’s funny, I’ve been telling people that I’ve been working for myself for over two and a half years, but in reality, TODAY marks the full second year. Thank you to everyone who has encouraged and supported me this year!

Ubiquitous...someday. (But it's a start.) Found by my lovely friend, Tiffany!

My new website is now up and running! I will continue to use Tumblr as my blog, but wongface.com is now my official portfolio site.

Eee! Thank you so much! <3 I promise, comics are my thing and I’ll never stop making them!
