Since the last time Chris’s comics were posted in 2021, we were curious to know about any news that he would like to update us on.
Chris shared: “I’ve been working pretty hard in the last couple of years! A lot of people didn’t know this, but a lot of my comics are analog. I use mixed media (watercolors, gouache, ink, colored pencils, etc.) on paper for a lot of my comics! Some folks noticed and I got a lot of questions about my process so I started making somevideosto share that.
Creative work doesn’t come without challenges. Chris shared what usually comes in his way.
“I recently shared somethoughts about creative struggles in another video.
I think one of the biggest roadblocks for creative folks can be self-doubt. We don’t want to START on an endeavor because the prospect of something not turning out perfect can feel overwhelming, so we delay getting started on something.
We wanted to know which comic is Chris’s favorite and why. Chris answered: “It’s very often that my latest comics are my favorite.Here is one that is pretty fresh out of my small idea sketchbookthat I haven’t had a chance to do a nice, finished version of, but I hope to soon!I’ve been opening up my idea sketchbook to audiences and posting my rough ideas on Twitter and Instagram. I usually like to sketch my ideas quickly and small (approx 1"x2") so I can make sure that the idea reads clearly at its most basic composition. It’s been really fun to share my ideas early to see what ideas get big reactions and which ones don’t. Sometimes I’m surprised that something gets a lot of love that I wasn’t too confident in, or something that I really like doesn’t get a lot of engagement. It’s super valuable feedback and helps inform what comics I should put time into finishing!”

Thanks to BP for always asking fun questions and sharing my work. Hope all the wonderful folks giving this a read have a great week. I appreciate you giving my comics a shot. I’ll keep drawing ‘em if y’all keep reading ‘em!”
