Scotland: Road Trip to The North
Back in October 2018, we went to Scotland to celebrate the love of my brother and his new wife. They had their wedding celebration in Gretna Green, Scotland.

I've been holding on to some of my comic/illustration work for a long time. Like, 2 years. Now, I'm starting to go through some of my sketchbooks and picking some to share. Hopefully, there will be some sign of progress over time *insert cry-laugh emoji* A couple years ago, Billy and I listened to the audiobook of Sapiens ...
