Not sure if you remember me, I was the girl at FCBD with the textbook sketchbook.
Thanks again for the chat-I appreciate your time and feedback ^^
It was great meeting you and checking out your rad sketchbook! I’m really terrible at giving advice, but I hope there was something you could use. I really like your style and can’t wait to read your full first issue at Conduit!
What’s your twitter handle? MoandJinks will follow you!
Thanks! I haven’t used twitter in a while, but my handle is jess_smiley.
I saw your Ghost Comics in the Warp & Weave Journal at UVU. I worked as an editor on the issue. Your work was some of my favorite in there! Also, have you been submitting anything else to other journals? I’m starting a new journal, but I wasn’t sure if you take solicitations or not. Either way, your stuff is awesome.
I love your work! I would love one day to have a comic made of me for my business! I’m an interior designer in Toronto. I have subscribed to your blog and I look forward to visiting often and getting inspired!!
Take care,

Awww. Thanks, Josie! Thanks for the kind words and for subscribing to my blog. I’m constantly intrigued and inspired by what others are doing and I feel it’s important to share their messages and processes. Let me know if there’s anything you’d like to see. In the meantime, I’m excited to check out your designs and message you about a comic. Thanks!
If you’re not too busy I’d love to chat further about the comic idea. Do you make things for people and how much do you charge? I kind of have something in mind that I think you would be great at making based on what I’ve seen so far. You’re welcome to email me at Josie.hunter@hotmail.com
