You draw a comic at least three times. Thumbnails to plan the panel layout and page count, sketches for writing, planning & text placement, inking. Then if you're nasty you can do the extra step of coloring/shading. (This is unless you're French and go straight to inks, the French are not real)

I'm never certain if I will be on time, I can only guess and hope for the best Get my graphic novel at a local bookstore or adhd-alien.com :) ❤️

How am I supposed to rest when I'm too tired to rest????

Is this reverse ADHD tax??? A parallel universe? I swear I checked like 5 times and saw NOTHING

It’s still hard for me to accept that my mental health issues are legitimately exhausting and something I need to rest from.

I’ll never forget how frustrating it was trying to learn to draw without meds

My cat enjoys the luxurious lifestyle of having food so I was forced to post this. Should I actually make more videos in future?

It’s definitely a head empty day for me

How I explain Executive Dysfunction with "Buttons" or: why I'm not just lazy, I'm fighting myself. 3 Comic series, part 1 of 3. Next part on Thursday :)

Remember when I came up with "buttons" to explain executive dysfunction just because I had an argument with my partner about getting things done? I made an entirely new series for ADHD Awareness Month explaining motivation & ADHD. Coming next week 👀✨

I’ve learnt that only hyperfocus can keep me from disappointing others. Sometimes.

When the reward for growing up with so much criticism is hearing „You’re just too sensitive!

With ADHD, instead of building routines, everything stays a conscious effort for me.

If I am so lazy, why am I always so exhausted?

I hate unboxing videos. HOWEVER, I am a CARTOONIST. So.

@adhd-alien.bsky.social I don't remember if I drew this before formal diagnosis but it still rings very true (and is quite funny). Thought you'd enjoy:

Sometimes I feel like a ghost, unable to make meaningful changes to my life, while not being believed when I tell people how much I try.

I'm grateful when other people post about tasks they feel overwhelmed doing; I feel less alone. I saw someone post today about how changing their address in a lot of places was a struggle, and they were crying over it. Extremely relatable

Sneak peek from the graphic novel I’ve been working on since some people have been wondering why I stopped posting. It’s a page I drew to pitch the idea that emotional scenes will have a more rough and raw style. It’s still quite a bit away but I already wanted to share the reason I’ve been missing!

People often think I’m distracted when I’m actually really focused, just in my own way
