The turn of this decade came with its fair share of drastic life changes.

Location changes. Social circle changes. Belief changes. Identity changes. Health changes. Awareness changes.

Coming to terms with this avalanche of deeply life-altering transformations came along with the tooth-grinding task of navigating the adaptation of a new understanding of the past. A tough time that heavily drained me of my artistic juices for long streaks of time.

Onward is the only direction.

The end of the 2000s opened a frightening arena for me to navigate through. I dreamt myself back into my childhood, but I was proud of the evolution that my art had achieved.

I became mildly obsessed with comparisons of old art vs. new art and re-drew some of my original characters. One of them, I wish their original rendition had survived to be seen.
