The Story

Finished in March 2026

This comic is centered around a 17-year-old girl struggling with the meaning behind her art.

The Mural came about after teaming up with a fellow classmate that had written a ten page comic. My goal was to illustrate 4 of the ten pages, with the final page feeling like a sufficient “part one.”
