I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then.

–Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

Disney’s Alice in Wonderland was one of my favorite childhood movies. Whenever I watched it, I felt like I was going on an adventure with Alice in this trippy weird world filled with these nonsensical talking creatures. Since then I had an affinity for items and objects that reminded me of Wonderland like tea parties, cookies, pretty chinaware, playing cards, chess pieces, and mirrors.

I kept this EMSHOI Graph Paper Notebook - 256 Pages A5 Graph Notebook / Journal for about a year and now up to the final couple of pages. I've kept journals in the past, but this was a special one, I was able to be more creative. Here are some of the things keeping a journal taught me.

I wrote and drew this comic during the pandemic. I had the idea for the comic for a while, so I had some downtime and created it. The comic was made on no-show manga paper, ink and digitally edited and colored.

I'm a sentimental packrat. On display or in storage are trinkets from places I visited, greeting cards with handwritten messages from family and friends, old gaming magazines from the 2000s, photographs from gatherings, and many other items that would fill up a page if I tried to list them out.
