Tune Out All But the Essential

I've been navigating some life changes and feeling a bit overwhelmed, but am trying to tune out the noise and focus on what's most important. Thanks for reading. More artwork to come!

[2-panel comic illustration about focusing on what's important when feeling overwhelmed. Panel 1 shows a cartoon girl with a bun, covering her ears and surrounded by noisy, jagged, crackly lines. In panel 2, she focuses on the beating of her heart, which is shown thumping over her chest. The text caption reads, "When overwhelmed, tune out - all but the essential." The words "tune out" are drawn with emphasis in bubble letters. Original illustration by Connie Sun, cartoonconnie, 2023.]

All Of This Is Okay

I've had an eventful few weeks and am having to pause and regroup. It's a season of change and I'm along for the ride, hopeful that it will take me where I need to grow. Thanks for your patience and stay tuned <3

[5-panel full-color comic page with a motivational message titled, "All of this is okay." Panel 1 shows a cartoon girl with a bun wearing a backpack, running frantically to get somewhere; text reads, "It's okay to slow down." Panel 2: She pauses to look at her phone, a worried expression on her face; text reads, "It's okay to stop and just be lost." Panel 3: She reroutes directions on her phone. Panel 4: She turns her head purposefully in another direction, course-correcting. Text reads: "You can regroup and find your way...as many times as you need." Panel 5, borderless: She walks in the opposite direction she was running and guesses matter-of-factly, "I think it's that way," as the frame pans out to show her companion, an elephant, turning to follow.
