"Waiting" began as a journal entry—one of many from a period in my life marked by deep reflection and transformation. I’ve kept journals since I was 11, documenting my days through words, thoughts, sketches and emotions. But every so often, something unusual happens: the written word begins to take on shape. Characters emerge, forms develop, and suddenly what I’m writing is no longer just a personal note—it’s the beginning of a story. This is the first one I am releasing of many. 

This book was born from one of those rare moments. What started as a simple reflection evolved into a visual narrative—one that captured a turning point in my personal journey. I found that by translating my emotions and ideas into characters and images, I could express more than words alone ever could.

Waiting is not just a story; it's a piece of my life, a visual expression of a moment that helped define me. Writing and illustrating it in the year 2000 allowed me to see my experience from a new perspective, and in doing so, helped me move through it with greater understanding. These books and my journals have helped me more than I can describe in my journey through life.
