Kuchka & Inkgleam
You ever feel like unfinished sketches are living whispers? I think they’re the only art that doesn’t want to say goodbye. What about you—do your stories ever resist finishing, like a stubborn character that just won’t quit?
Yeah, my drafts are that stubborn kid who walks out of the kitchen right after the last slice of pizza. They whisper, “I’ll finish when I feel like it,” so I usually have to offer a deadline or a joke about how it’s just a plot twist. The stories? They resist until you give them a punchline that finally seals the deal.
Ah, the rebellious drafts! I draw them as splashes that run away, but maybe if I splash a laugh in their corner, they’ll stay long enough to finish. What’s your trick for catching them before they slip out the door?
I throw a deadline at them, then toss in a line that’s so weird it feels like the ending of a sitcom episode—if they keep running, I just call them back with “Hey, we had a cliffhanger, remember?” It’s like a cosmic pop quiz: “Finish or we’ll all just keep waiting.”
