Saga of Didrik page 18

Almost finished! I haven't got it totally mapped out yet, but there's just a page or two more to go now until the conclusion of the Saga of Didrik. Stay tuned! 

To read the entire comic up to this point, please click on the Didrik label below, and thank you for reading! 

 

Saga of Didrik page 17

As usual for any given situation in my life, I have several brands in the fire when it comes to my comic projects. Not including any one-shot, one- or two-pagers that randomly occur, I have at least three separate comic stories actively in progress -- 

Dismem-boar-ment - Chronicling some profound experiences from a Vision Quest a couple years ago (Click on the corresponding label below to read the story so far)

Smoke and Mirrors - A exercise of soul-searching in response to some outside resistance I encountered to my spiritual path (Click on the corresponding label below to read the story so far)

Saga of Didrik - First of a planned series of adaptions of archery myths and legends from around the world, the latest page of which is posted here (Again, click on the corresponding label below to read the story so far)

So I'm going to try (I know! "...There is no try, only do or do not..." blah blah blah...😉) to concentrate on Didrik, being the one closest to being finished, and, I believe, the one I've been working on the longest, to free up some creative energy on the other two. My intention is to not let anything linger in limbo for too long. It's good to have a couple things going at the same time, so I have a couple choices of were to apply and follow my inspiration, depending on the accompanying emotional states. When things go on for too long, though, without closure or completion, for me it seems to leave loose ends which are fertile ground for the development of guilt and self-judgement, which tends to block or clot the creative energy, slowing the creative flow to the detriment of all creative projects. 

So, in that spirit, here is the latest page in the last chapter of the Saga of Didrik!

 

'Corn to be Wild

Looking through a journal that I take with me when I do sacred pipe ceremony at the local river, I found a little, almost forgotten comic I drew there. It is unpolished and sketchy because it was done 'in the field' and I am yet uncertain if I will draw a more polished and finished version. Meanwhile I thought it'd be fun to share this original version here.

This brings to mind a favorite drawing of me from an earlier comic when I drew myself as a My Little Pony unicorn. If you look closely at the last panel above, my unicorn self has the same wolf pawprint tattoo on my hip as I do below. I can neither confirm nor deny the existence of such a tattoo in physical reality.
