I'm back. A lot happened during this time. Mostly on a personal/health level.
But now I dare talking about it and that's what the coming comics will be about : mental illness.
If you miss the old funny comics, sorry, only sarcasm in the coming comics.
Hello!
I don't know if people read those posts... Anyway, these days I'm still drawing against the huge anxiety disorder that took control over my life on my tumblr. http://sow-ay.tumblr.com/
I've been struggling for this for as long as I can remember but those last months have definitely been the hardest ever. So I dream to be helping people with those drawings on tumblr. It led to amazing talks and support.
I could have posted it here, but I don't think it's really relevant to post all those depressive stuff in a "serie" that was supposed to be funny. I have a lot of funny shits written. But I just can't draw it. I'm trying to learn to enjoy drawing again. It's damn hard.
Anyway, see you on tumblr or on my twitter @sow_ay if you don't want to miss any drawing, comic, stupid life event or article about mental health ! No food post, I promise.
Hello ! Just a little message to let you all know that I'm still alive ! I'm having tons of work (weeks with over 70 hours of work) and I'm scared to not end my X-mas comic in time. I don't know if I've ever felt as tired before but I'm doing my best. The good point is that it keeps my mind busy so that I don't have to feel the Christmas depression. See you friday here. xoxo
Bonus : Last wednesday we rushed to see a little independant movie you may not have heard of... (it was out a bit earlier here)
Hello guys ! I'm sorry for not adding any new episode but I'm working on bigger comics and doing comics for other bloggers. But I just did the 25hr of comics, I'll translate it to show you here !
At the same time, I launched two new T-shirts series on forsakenstar.com and my freelance project had quite great feedback. I had some articles on the newspapers, did some exhibits. And the craziest, this weekend, I was invited at the Senate, in Paris for a ceremony. That was so amazing ! Here's a picture of me speaking about my favourite thing in one of the most prestigious places of the country. And there are many more on my website's blog. Still forsakenstar.com. (I had great luck because the Comic Con was the same weekend, héhé!)
I never imagined I'd get the chance to do something like that. I'd love to go and see my History teacher to show him this. To say "haha, who sucks now??"
Just to say, for years, I've been told that I suck that I would never do what I want. So, I hope you'll never give up on your dreams ! Just don't. Ever.
Now the hardest, making a living of it.
If you read all you also get 25% more fabulous to me !
The building is so amazing, beautiful things to see from the floor to the ceiling in every room. I've seen amazing places like this (mostly museums) but knowing you're invited here is just ù$@€µ$£ (couldn't find a word)
I think when you don't really realize that madness, you're a bit less scared.. Fortunately ! :D
Hello everyone !
A few weeks ago, I made a Q&A. And in the questions, someone (hello Monkeysam) asked me how I kept practising drawing.
So to help this webfriend to keep motivation to create, to change our minds and to get better, I made a little drawing Challenge !
It's here : http://forums.tapastic.com/t/drawing-challenge/6912
Hi guys !
As I'm losing my day job and my exhibs/events cost a lot of money and time for not much, I'll try to add more content on my patreon ! I have 2 Doctor Who comics in project, and I'll try to work a lot on my projects.
So if you're rich and don't know what to do with your money you can support me here : http://www.patreon.com/soway
Oh, and I won a prize in my region with my brand and freelance project !! That's so incredible ! After 6 years of being rejected by everyone !!! I almost cried at the ceremony.
Now, I'm gonna represent my region with my stuff in France !! YES !! That crazy unicorn just on the left !
Thanks, I hope too !
I think for the jury, the personnality that made a difference. Not that I'm awesome but I don't want to hide myself behind a fake serious appearance. I came with a tee I made, I assum being stupid and making stupid comics, shared unicorns pictures on my powerpoint. And people feel closer to me. I prefer that !
That gives more faith for the future !
Mec... enfin quelqu'un qui n'est pas serieux toujours...
Je suis jamais serieux en rien! je porte des masques ou des bonnetes, je cours comme un tarré criant YOLOOOO tout seul, je déssinne des culs....
Ah merde, la dernière est fausse XD
et surtout JE FAIS DES CALINS À TOUT LE MONDE!!! N'IMPORTE QUAND ET N'IMPORTE OU!!
Parceque vie il y en a une seule, et faut profiter pour y laisser quelque chose et on commence par l'humour et la joie :3
Hi guys ! I'm so excited this week because my drawing are in an exhibition in a big mall. We even printed HUGE pieces !! That is so crazy !!
And I also added my character as a burglar just for fun !
Also, people that will pass can draw in the "epic book of high five" I made. Some of you made drawings in it, remember ? :D
And I still intend to high five the whole world ! (if you want too : http://forsakenstar.com/epic-book-of-high-five/ )
I'm working on the next comic, it's a bit ambitious so it'll maybe come only next week.
Hello ! Sorry, I didn't post any Berkheads comic this week, I have tons of projects. But here's my last drawing, a tribute to the band 30 Seconds To Mars. (the one in which the new joker sings)
