A nine-seaside year, our unique contributions Ruth Chan Sent Joanna and an email to these comics and a note: I still screamed at them, so I thought they could change the COJ readers? “
When I clicked on them, I too, feel my throat tight and tears well. Because every comics – with an attractive animal that shares a confession about feeling lost or accepting a strong lesson – I also see a small part of my own, too. Here are comics, plus a Q & A in Ruth …
******
Jannele: If you refer these comics, what happened to your life?
Ruth: I’m 32 and are separated by my husband and I lost my job. I have to go out of our joint apartment because I don’t have the income. All I know is suddenly lost.
That’s hard.
I’m so sick. The only things I can handle walks my dog and paint these animal pictures. I started with only one, and then continued to make a day. Now looking back, I can say that making them is my way to process all that I feel.
What kind of work do you leave?
I am in charge of no community-based base, and actually by painting these pictures I began to take courage and excitement to think, ‘or, I may make want to be an illustrator. ‘I’m at the bottom, so no one else goes. These pictures are the beginning of building a portfolio. I also started taking classes to describe kids in classes Visual Arts School.
From this series, which comic is more important to you today?
the march band of one. These days, I often try to stop preventing things. As a parent, I know it’s harder to wrap my head, because all I want is to control the chaos! But I have to actively tell myself, ‘it not If my daughter is messy. Well if he doesn’t eat lots of lunch because he wants to spend time outside. Let the sun be unpredictable. it GOOD. ‘Because when wonderful things can happen, you know?
This is a great lesson.
Also, the Bowling Pin USA. It is very difficult for me to seek help, even if I know my friends and family are for me.
When you pass through your divorce, what do friends and family do with help?
My friend Jane brings the idea for us to share a blue subscription in the apron, which has been going to have to go to each other in cooking each other. I think that’s his way of making sure I don’t eat alone, or that I will eat, in such thoughtful, beautiful way. Whenever I think of that time in my life, I remember the destruction. But I am always overwhelmed by amazing ways my friends have ridden unanswered.
Most comics about accepting whole self. What have you learned about owning your own personal identity?
My favorite about these pictures is that all animals are wrong. They are a little goofy, or a little broken, or a little odd. And I think to get the idea that our true self can help us connect with other people. The attempt to be perfect with each other is a barrier to build real, close relationship.
Finally, what do you say to someone to pass a hard time, if it’s hard to imagine having good on the other side?
There’s always a big fear of change because you don’t know what’s on the other side. But now, I stand on the other hand, and I Therefore joyful. And if I haven’t lost my job, I don’t know if I can be an illustrator. You don’t know what comes from a big change in your life, but it can be unique, beautiful things. You should be open to this.
Thank you, Ruth!
