(NOTE: SORRY FOR THE LATENESS, BUT IT WAS A PAIN IN THE ASS EARLIER THIS WEEK TO POST THIS! SO POSTING TODAY!)
You don’t “find” balance — you learn to dance between deadlines and dinner dishes.
Comics take time — a lot of it. And time is the one thing life never seems to have enough of.
We chase this mythical balance: perfect productivity, creative satisfaction, and a stable existence. But the truth? Balance is a rhythm, not a ratio.
Some weeks you create like a machine; others, you barely doodle between day jobs and real life. That doesn’t mean you’ve failed. It means you’re human.
Art and life aren’t enemies. They’re collaborators. Life gives you the stories — art gives you the language to tell them.
So take the pressure off.Draw small. Think big. Live fully.
And remember: you’re not behind — you’re just between beats.
