Everything is more beautiful because we're doomed.
You will never be lovelier than you are now.
We will never be here again.

Found a folder from about 5 years ago. I was planning a short comic called ‘The Kalikantzaros’ based on my childhood in Greece, with Greek folk tale elements woven in. My work has changed so much since!

I made a short comic about the first time I saw the reef in Santorini in Greece. It's all about fear and love for the ocean. Had a great time doing it 💙 (next pages in the comments)
