...with sprinkles! is based on my not-so-glamorous life as a painfully broke twenty-something.
It started out as a coping mechanism for a bad break up. I began drawing (somewhat violent but nevertheless humorous) cartoons of me beating the shit out my douche-y ex boyfriend. It was fun sharing these with friends.
Then someone recommended submitting some to the college paper. So I did. I ended up drawing for the paper until I graduated.
Since college, the story has followed my rough attempt to be a grown-up in Portland, my decision to move back in with my dad in Alaska, and is currently archiving my second-attempt to be an adult in Olympia, Washington.
The name ...with sprinkles! comes from my friend Geoff. He described my comics as "angry, bitter black coffee...with sprinkles!"
It stuck.
