Eeekk…you’re here.
I am so touched that you have arrived on my lil page of musings and offerings. I hope you will linger a while.
I’m Kris, pronouns she/her. You find me in this very specific moment where I have cultivated enough breathing room and courage to tenaciously pursue a creative life. Creativity, craft, and processing life through comics is what delights me the most right now. And to be honest, sharing what I create with folks like you feels like an essential piece of my creative curiosity. I hope that my work lets us see a little bit more of ourselves in each other.
Why this? Why now?
For years, I have known that I experience life moments re-interpreted as comic panels in my mind. Life is, after all, simultaneously beautiful and painful and I am moved by the humor in its constant absurdity. Whether it was falling in love, losing a loved one through death or heartbreak, witnessing birth, or sharing tender final memories - I would see it laid out in a sequence of images.
At some point I started drawing these comic images as letters to gift to folks and as remembrances for myself. At times it would be a simple capture of a mundane moment, while at other times it felt like an urgent need to re-witness my grief or awe.
In February 2023, I left my career - driven by the need to “create spaciousness” - whatever that meant! I knew that there was a dream waiting to come in, but it wouldn’t make itself known until I had granted it my full attention. I am so grateful to be in a chapter of my life where I can and am choosing to give my full attention to my whims and dreams. So here I am. Curious, excited, and hopeful.
Definitely stay in touch!
I am making comics and art daily at this point. I will be sharing some of my journal comics and longer post from me with some of the thoughts and learnings that this journey is bringing me to ponder. Let’s see where this goes.
So what happens next?
