You Are The Light

Here's a comic about how difficult it can be to be creative with a lot on your mind, and how a certain magic happens when you choose to be anyway.  This is based on what happened the night I moved to Newark, NJ in 2005, my senior year at The School of Visual Arts.  I didn't think much of it at the time, but it was as if my lamp shined unusually bright in its last breath for me.

The title comes from when I used to see this song by Jens Lekman, on the late Brooklyn music video channel New York Noise.  I watched it when I lived in my prior windowless basement apartment in Bushwick, Brooklyn...before it was cool (d'oh).
