Cogito Ergo Sum (I Think, Therefore I Am)
I tend to overthink things. For instance, I made about a dozen drafts of this comic before settling on the final words and drawings. I think the next thing I make will be easier, but I’m probably mistaken.
For more comics about the joys and frustrations of creative thinking, check out my book, The Shape of Ideas: An Illustrated Exploration of Creativity, published by Abrams ComicArts:

When you text San Francisco Museum of Modern Art how you’re feeling, it responds with a work of art that captures your mood.
GUYS! We live in an amazing world! I just texted the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, “send me food,” and they sent me a picture of vegetables from their collection. My boyfriend texted them the cactus emoji and they sent back a picture of a cactus. This is blowing my mind!
Sonnet for President Trump
Shall I compare thee to a Shakespeare play? Thou art less clever and less literate, But how else should poor poets have their say? Alas, our leader lacks a donkey’s wit! Sometime too fierce the fire of ego burns, And when a man is made to look a fool, He rages ’gainst the mockery he earns, As little boys will cry when teas’d at school. But thy eternal tantrums shall not wane, Nor shalt thou e’er unclench thy tiny fists, Nor listen when the people dare to say, “’Tis you, dear sir, who made a scene of this.” So long as men can breathe and speech is free, The Bard shall speak and show thy shame to thee.

Note to self: in order to write, you have to actually do more than stare at a Word document rereading what you’ve already written. For example, maybe typing new words would be a good strategy.
