About
I've been drawing on the backs of worksheets since primary school, and writing since a teacher said I was allowed to write about my family. Now I do both, and mostly they meet in comics.
I'm interested in small, funny, slightly sad stories about the people around me. I draw in public a lot, and I've learned to smile when someone notices.
I also take far too many photos of train-station signs, and I'm learning the guzheng very slowly.
