Just one of many comics I did back in the day about the feeling of being freelance and having no security. Honestly, the thing I notice the most about this one is my haircut. What on earth was I thinking :’D

Oof, this one’s also from the dustier parts of the archive. I think it’s early 2010s? Not entirely sure! You know what’s absolutely certain though? I was completely undiagnosed! So at this point I don’t know if what I was drawing was the feeling of chasing the creative flow, or if I was trying to

Sometimes when I look back at these old comics, I get the ick. This one was from my last “part time” (I took on more hours, but I was technically not full time) job at a golf course. It was one of those rare jobs where the manager was *amazing* and I had some really

Wow, okay. Looking at this old OLD comic now that I’m 39 is quite the trip. It feels like a lifetime ago. Looking back at hormonal teenage Jen who was very edgy is quite funny now. I was very much trying to figure out who I was and I had a phase of being very

Many of my early Jenspirations were about work-life balance being completely messed up. Smart phones really didn’t help matters :/

This one very much goes with the previous comic. I genuinely can’t remember what art was published in this Bizarre?

Yes that happened. I had to ask for help to reach the magazine my stuff was in. If I remember correctly (this was way back in like 2010 so have mercy), my art was published in Bizarre as part of their Steampunk special with Clockwork Watch. I could be wrong though? Maybe I had some

Ah Bristol Expo (RIP) What a time! I think this was first comic con where I had my own table? Or I may still have been sharing with Corey and Yoms. I’m not entirely sure? But we were collabing on the Steampunk transmedia project Clockwork Watch where I was doing the comic art. I was
