I'm a full-time Nuclear Pharmacy Technician, and administrator at a pharmacy.

I want to self-publish a comic, and I do paying jobs on the side doing sketch card series and storyboards for short films.

thanks.broken neck lead to a rough road of spinal surgery, 9 months of bed ridden boredom, but in the end? i was 29/30 and using a walker and cane. now? not hunched over, on proper meds that make me a functional person who can help and be sympathetic in the medical field (which i can tell you there is a major lack of!). loving the wake stuff, and again, the prints from essential are out to be framed right now.full museum quality, glad i know how to do the proper style for each since i was a framer. ill post pics when i get them up on the wall. and cant wait for balimore. if you need any help or a volunteer to help out, feel free to ask.
