Sneak peek at the collaborative comic Ellen and I are doing titled “Vitriolic Best Buds”! Basically a small comic book of funny recollections with each other and our other roommates/other friends. 

We’ll hopefully be selling these at the CCA Students Comics Fair held in the Escapist Comic Bookstore in Berkeley! EVERYONE SHOULD GO! I’M DOING A COMIC READING! COME SEE ME READ \O/

Here’s the mini-comic we had to do for our Graphic Novel class! 

It was very cathartic making this because it was about something extremely personal and sensitive to me and a lot of other people around me. Making this actually helped me come to my own conclusion/closure, and it just really stresses how much art means to me as a means of expression and outlet. 

Therefore, please do not use or steal without my consent!

I hope you enjoy this (:

The relationship between my building manager and me. He’s a nice guy, really!

There was this awkward moment when I picked up a package, and he was there. He greeted,

“Hi, Ellen! Is that package for you?”

And I replied,

“Oh, it’s for Ellen.” …. “Y-Yeah.”
