All My Mistakes

A comic about owning them

This has not been an easy time. I’ve had some setbacks lately, but I’m taking things a step at a time and doing my best to keep moving forward.

This week, I took the most positive thought I had and made a cartoon out of it. That’s something.

I’m also working on something fun that I’m excited to share soon.

In the meantime, here is one of my daily comic strips from 2015. It's a staple pep talk I often revisit as needed.

Thanks for reading and being here. Hope you are also finding validation in the all the cumulative life experiences that make you who you are.

Art description: 6-panel comic strip about our mistakes and imperfections and how they make us unique. The panels illustrate a cartoon girl with a bun bemoaning her mistakes to an elephant, who comforts her and tells her, "All your flaws give you style." She later uses that thought to make art. Titled "All My Mistakes," 2026, by Connie Sun
