  • Everything Good Will Come | During one of my less-fruitful attempts at finishing a piece of university coursework, I let my head fall onto the sticky library desk and shut my eyes for a minute. When I opened them, I was facing a column of books, and the only title I could make out was "Everything Good Will Come." I still don't know what that book was, but it seems as good a title as any. This blog is going to feature my amateur attempts to make comics. I am a timid drawer, so it will be slow, but I have a great number of plans.
