What inspires you to draw?I use drawing as therapy.
Sometimes its to process personal issues or political outrage.
Other times its a calming exercise to get a dumb song lyric out of my head.
Calling dibs, just in case.
Pull-out drawings are especially fun to draw.
This one is directly inspired byBen Avliss Instagram.
In practice, I mostly write and design with an audience in mind, and I draw for myself.
My late-night binges ofA Christmas Kiss IIandMerry Kissmasfeel more productive when I have something to show for it.

Its a fun challenge and quite literally adds another dimension to my art!
Your pop-up drawings are incredible.
How does the new dimension add to what youre trying to say?Thanks so much!
Another piece of paper!
