Story Time ✿ I left my job to be a full-time artist ...and failed (webcomics & illustration)

✿ ʕ•́ᴥ•̀ʔっ  Hi everyone!

It's been a long time coming (and even longer since I last posted!), but I'm finally sharing the story of when I left my full-time 9-to-5 job to pursue an art career — more specifically, to create a webtoon and freelance illustrations — and ended up quitting to return to working another corporate 9-to-5 job.

I'm only sharing this experience now, but this journey ended just over a year ago. Now that I'm starting to ramp up on a new (and very exciting!) webcomic/graphic novel project, I figured now would be as good a time as any to share this experience with anyone out there who feels like they want to take the leap (or perhaps have already done so) into pursuing a full-time career in illustration.

So please grab a cup of tea, a snack, and something to doodle on, because it's gonna be a long one!
