As parent, and primary caregiver, to four (4!) teens, I can confirm they are a wild (but often friendly) and precocious (but often insecure) species! I'm so thrilled to be able to read your graphic essays here on Substack!
“No thanks. We know what we’re doing!” 😂 What a wonderfully captured and illustrated recap of the workshop. They sound great. Love this: “Maybe we can be as brave as a dragon who chooses to be itself.”
OMG. This was so inspiring, and as usual w/ you, so wonderfully illustrated. Those teens were so inspiring. From the mouths (and pens of, no longer, but still really, they are) babes.
What a super post! Thank you for the inspiration. Xo
Thanks! A wonderful, engaging read. Inspiring!
From creative abandon to abandonment of creativity ❤️ GENIUS… all of it…
Wow I love everything about this. As a librarian who only started drawing when I was 54 this really moves me. Thank you!
I read your post from beginning to end and wished for more. Touching and funny. I’m looking forward to The Keeper.
Such a delight, and so true what you’ve shared about creating with abandon vs abandoning creativity! Thank you :)
I just found your newsletter and LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it. Thank you for creating and sharing.
You did it again! ❤️

That ending! Well played, my friend.
Absolutely brilliant perspective! You inspire so many people…including me. 😎
Love this post! Thanks for mentioning POETRY COMICS, and I second the Lynda Barry influence. She's one of the great graphic thinkers and teachers!
THIS. was soooooo inspiring!!!

Oh I love this post! Why do we get so scared about creativity at some point, I wonder. Thanks for sharing your insights.
