I believe this was partially based on when I had a small bout of food poisoning last September – but mainly based on how it reminded me of the two or three times in my life when I had severe food poisoning. I remember the first time I had it, it was remarkable how it really felt like I was dying – even when I obviously knew I was not. But knowing you are not about to die doesn’t make that intense pain any less excruciating.
I changed my desk setup recently and have been looking for ways to practice the new setup – this page was originally drawn back in early October, and was 95% completed, but I hadn’t gone back and added that 5% polish step. Testing the desk setup was a good excuse to do so, and I was glad to have the excuse to finish this page – as I had honestly forgotten I’d drawn it, but I remember I did like it back when I drew most of it in October.
One of my aims this year is to finish more projects, instead of having the mountain of in-progress work continue to climb all around me – so here’s to hoping this is a harbinger for more finished pages this year. :)
