HJ also explained what initially drew him to the world of artistry.“I’ve been creating and drawing ever since I was little, since art supplies were one of the few things we were never short on growing up (that I still have now, even though I’m mostly digital). I was too self-conscious to share my works for the longest time though. It wasn’t until the pandemic that I realised how little time we have and that finally gave me the push to start this comic even when I didn’t feel fully ready.”

As for the creative process, HJ commented: “I have a huge list of ideas that I add to whenever I come across something funny in my day-to-day life. When I pick one, I draft out the layout and text of the comic and then go directly into lining and colouring. One of the main factors when I started out was to keep the process as simple as possible so that I could create more consistently.”

We were curious about what HJ hopes audiences take away from his comics. He wrote: “Sometimes real life can get stressful and overwhelming, so I hope my comics are a reminder to pause and see the humour in the little things happening right under our noses. I also want to bring more awareness to our native birds in New Zealand, who are so unique and funny to watch, but also sadly very endangered.”Lastly, the artist added: “Be kind and keep moving forwards.”
