And while I know art is one of the greatest tools to use to make an impact on people, and I suppose that is something I want to figure out. If the positive changes I want to put in action will be done better through my art or through my teaching/communication. It's fun but tricky!
But I often wonder if comics can take me to the lengths I want to go? Its very important to me to see that my work (whether its art or my communication with people) makes a positive impact.
Its interesting to learn about your strengths. To learn about your skills and the lengths they can go, what you can achieve. And I'm wondering which of my skills I want to broaden and expand. I know what I'm good at, art and communication. Which is mainly the reason comics speak to me.
As of now I have no clue where my career is heading, but I know I want to participate in community! Whether that be locally, nationally or globally, as much as I can, I wish.
I think back on my teachers from elementary school and how they impacted me. I see my little sister who tells me about the things her teachers say (i.e. one of them telling his class of 14 year olds that Musk's salute was NOT a nazi one) and I cant stop thinking about the impact teachers have.
as a still somewhat young 20 year old who's very uncertain about their career and only knows they have a dying passion for art and other people. I want to make comics but recently I've found myself interested in teaching, as I greatly see the value in supporting young people in their education.
You guys need to see this and take it in…
