Artists, here’s how to organise your workload in a handy freelance calendar
Planning work in advance and scheduling things has become one of my best tools. It might sound obvious, but honestly, don’t underestimate its power. I found that having a separate way to have my freelance schedule in one place is incredibly helpful. It makes work more sustainable and helps to see all your projects as a part of a bigger picture.

Pygmalion | How I turned my old short story into a published comic
So I found the file again last year. The text was moody, short, not very well written. Back then I named the hooded creatures “pygmalions” to reference the Greek myth of a sculptor who fell in love with his creation, which then came to life. I liked the sinister twist of Pygmalion forming the female shape to his own fantasy. Reading it over, the setting struck my imagination again. Could it make an interesting short horror comic?
