Out of Touch, CBA Vol. 53

The first time someone paid me for my art was senior of high school, when my art teacher Mr. Larsen gave me a check for $200 for my 8’ x 8’ canvas oil painting of my buddy Jon asleep on a couch in the school library. It’s nearly 20 years later, but someone paid me for my art a second time!

The short comic I wrote, Out of Touch, has been accepted into into a handful of comics anthologies, including the international C’est Bon Anthology by CBK Comics in Sweden (pictured above).

I’ve been paid for writing articles for magazines and newspapers and sold countless food items that I’ve created from scratch, but, for me at least, that all felt like work: the end goal was always a business decision. This feels different. Could it be the start of something…more?
