Everything Kane says is a version of something I have once said to women without realizing how fucking stupid I sounded OR that they were hitting on me. Well, except that last one. The first one was particularly heart breaking because I spent an entire night working up the courage to ask this girl to dance when she was clearly eyeing me THE ENTIRE NIGHT and when I finally get her on the dance floor, I bust out the "this is boring" line. To be fair, the song was terribly lame. But the damage was done.

I reveal one of my great weaknesses with this comic. And it's not the making an ass of myself in front of women. I can't draw real people for shit. I can draw fake people and people that I make up. But when it comes to drawing likenesses of actual people, I can draw myself and that's about it. If you make the mistake of asking me to draw you at a convention, you will receive a thing that looks nothing at all like what you see in the mirror. Now I can kind of do cartoony versions of real people. But real people who kinda of really look like the real people, I am horrible at that.

You can probably guess the reference I used for the second panel which looks absolutely nothing like her, except maybe the hair. But I won't embarrass myself by revealing my references for the other panels. Unless, of course, you guess that shit. Then I'll tell you and run away in shame.

This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words. Also not linking the discourse directly because I don't want to dogpile on the inspiration for my thoughts. But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.
