I can't draw. But I started drawing anyway. So here is my new comic series.

> Inspiration

So I always liked comedy, and not just hearing jokes but telling them as well. Across all media, I think there is like a billion ways to tell a story but maybe even more ways to tell a joke, from standing in front of a crowd as a stand-up comedian to animating slapstick cartoon to drawing a comic.

There are a lot of things I adore in Randall Munroe's XKCD. The witty humor, the simple yet sometimes really expressive art style and even the occasional more serious or emotional episodes.

For a while now, I was really thinking of starting something similar. A place where I could share the fun, weird and sometimes bitter scenarios of my life, and also a way to experiment with art and story telling.

After receiving a lot of inspiration, not just from XKCD but also from other comics, and a small nudge from one of the artist of said comics, I finally decided to grab a pen and start drawing.

> Start with the content, do the rest later

I already learned my lesson with the blog that it's better to start with the actual content and build around it, otherwise you get bored with building the webpage before actually making anything to fill it with. So at one night I got into a group call with some friends and started drawing my first comic. I then quickly set up a subdomain for the comics and posted that single image on it.

a comic about two person talking about starting a comic — Well, I know. It's not much to look at in terms of art, but what can you do.

> More to come

I want to start drawing, not just this comic series but other stuff as well. And while we're there, maybe start playing music again as well. There's just so much to do.

Anyway, if you happen to be interested in the comic series at least, you can follow it on this RSS feed.

Hestia: the homemade home assistant

So I've been working on this multipurpose custom voice assistant for a while now and I think it's time to write a blogpost about it.

Making this blog

This is the story of how I was finally able to create my first normal looking webpage, this blog.

Let there be light theme...

...and there was light theme.

Still working on this website

This time I made some improvements to the website.
