My family visited last week & it was a lot. My relationship with them is extremely complicated, but I think that was the first time that nothing had gone painful. I'm not really seen as who I am by them & having something that WAS me and something I valued looked at was...weird. #art #comic #artist

Page one of a multi panel comic. Panel one: anthro tiger character thinking to themselves, "One of my parents did something weird recently. I'm 39. I've been an artist a long...long time. Done it as a job for ten years. My parents do not ask me about my art. One of them a few years ago asked if I still made art. You know. My job. That one hurt." Panel two: The anthro tiger character continues to think while staring at the sky, "For some strange reason I cannot fathom one of them actually asked me about my art. They said my other parent had told them my art was making money. They were impressed. It made money the whole time."Page two of a multipanel comic. Panel one: the tiger anthro has a confused expression surrounded by question marks. They narrate, "I didn't get mad. I think I was too confused to register what was happening. So I showed them. The pewter. The mask patterns. The work files. The pyrography and carvings. They started asking questions. Showing them one thing prompted more questions. Often asking how I do it. So I answered those questions too. At one point they exclaimed in awe that the patterns had to be hundreds of hours of work. They are. None of it was new." Panel two: a closeup of the tiger anthro's hand working on a cool skull drawing. They narrate, "It was really weird. I can remember being "warned" of calling demons with my art in middle school because I drew tiger skulls with blood tears. Cringe maybe, hardly demonic. I learned not to share and had no real interest in their approval anyway." A speech bubble from the tiger says, "Hee hee this is going to be so cool <3" Panel three: The anthro tiger shrugs leaning upwards and thinks, "I have no idea what they thought I'd been doing these last 27 years. Decided it ultimately didn't matter."Third and final page of a multipanel comic. Panel one: The tiger anthro sits upright and thinks, "It was nice. I didn't need it. I was put on this earth to make art whether it was seen or not." Panel two: The anthro tiger character is running across grass and calling their two dogs, "You boys wanna go inside?". A final thought narration from the tiger is, "I didn't make all that stuff sitting around. If I wanna make more then I better get inside and get started."
