A pre-show commission picked up at NYCC.
For Nightwing’s origin, I referenced Degas’ Miss La La at the Cirque Fernando, Paris — a nod to the Flying Graysons.

It’s not good or bad. It just is.
But here’s what keeps me going: you.
And to everyone who’s supported me (you know who you are)—thank you.

6/ I thought things would get easier after that—but they didn’t. Even after running a successful crowdfunding campaign, nothing is guaranteed.
I’m not sharing this to complain. I just want to be transparent.
Even after you “break in,” there’s no free pass.
