A Lovely Thought

Comics

Alright everyone, how’s it going. This year I want to spend more time creating stuff for Amongst Ye.

I no longer want to sit and think about doing it and not doing it. Microblogging sites like Twitter has ran its course for me I think. I’ll still use it, but it’s not really something I want to be spending too much time on anymore as it just pure drains me of any motivation.

I need a boot up the arse, to get things moving.

Why should I spend my limited time on earth not making stuff that is meaningful and fulfilling to me? I feel sites like Twitter can really dampen the creative spark.

I have made attempts in the past to create a webcomic but they never really went anywhere and I’ve just never had the courage to commit to it fully.

What would people think? They’ll probably think it’s shite. There’s no point. Imagine putting effort into something. Imagine trying. Imagine all the people blah blah blah.

But I no longer what to live in fear of thoughts of other people. If people like it fair play. If they don’t, then all the best.

I want a big collection of work by the end of it.

I don’t know if Substack will be the permanent place I dwell in, but for now it seems the best place for me.

And to start it off, here is an old comic I made a couple of years ago.

The idea for this came to me awhile back after reading about Ballykinler barracks was being turned into a centre for excellence by the Down GAA.

Hope to see Palace Barracks next.
