The ways of the world often baffle me
I sometimes wonder
If i missed the memo about the most basic things
What are you supposed to make for dinner
What are you talk about in an elevator
Why do people cut in line have you leave a dinner party without being rude
Or do you leave it all my tendency to see the world
Like i'm from outer space was a bit of a liability
When i was a kid true three
But it's thin helpful in my career
I'm a cartoonist
When i first started making cartoons for the new york
About a decade ago
I kept my ideas
Light and quirky and please shout out
If you don't get any of him alll explain
I didn't draw anything too personal
I mean personal for someone i figured
I was too specific
Too hard to relate to and read possibly to female
It took a break up
It took a break up to get need to start art raying more out of biographically the pain
I was feeling
Although objectivevepretty ruunof the mill was impossible to ignore
I knew the drawing was my strongest problem solving tool
So i decided to diagram what i was going through by making these drawings i could see how my exx
And i had heard each other
And move on onto other break ups drawing from my own life was a revelation to me
Not only because it helped me understand myself better
But because it made me see for the first time
But people could relate to me
Now that i had this amazing tool
There are so many problems
I wanted to solve with it
The problem of scheduling
The problem of too many things happening all at the same time
The problem relatively of time and finally dating again
There's an endless amount to say about dating
There are of course problems that can't be sumbmed up in a single drying for these problems
You need many drawings one more complex problem
I have is with god jewish
So i'm talking about the guide of the old testament
My problem with gud isn't actually a big problem
It's just i don't know it's stayed with me
My problem with gud is that he's too confident for me
Creation is an act of solving problems of figuring things out
Gottready seems to have everything figured out
He strikes me as more of a king than a creator
And i'm nature you can be both as an experiment
I decided to remake the book of genesis as a graphic novel
My version of god is not confident
And maybe not go incidentally
She's a woman
It surprised me
How few changes
I needed to make to the original text which is sparse and ancient and lends
Itself well to interpretation for example
The bible opens in this mysterious moody way with guid floating endlessly on the face of a dark mysterious void in my version
I have her floating this way
Because she's feeling respondence about her limitations as an artist
She's made this messy wet mixed up dark for straft ft the world
And she's just doesn't know where to go from here
My version of god doesn't know exactly what she's doing
But she draws a horizon line and things starts to fall into place
She banishes adam and eve from the garden of eaten
Not because they dissobey her
But because by eating the apple and becoming wise
She feels they ve outgrown the world
She created for them
And she needs to let them go
She scattered the builders of the tower of fouble
Not because she's threatens by their power
But because like any introvert she meets her privacy
When she destroyed the world in the story of noa
It's not because she's insenced with mankind
But because she's insensed with herself
She knows
She could have done a better job
When she made us
My adaptation of the book of genesis is a creation story full of false starts and abcertavies
But it's a creation story all the same one in which a self conscious woman
Even though she worries and next mistakes is nonetheless a successful committed artist
When i finished my book
I did feel a new connection to the god of the tora
And a new sense of belonging to my religion
I also felt a new sense of belonging period
It's lonely being someone who has no idea how to act normal
But it's profoundly less lonely being that person in a world created for her by an equally awkward self conscious god
These days when i worry that i won't know what to make for dinner
I remind myself
That god wouldn't know either this picture is giving the anxiety
It's like literally
I drew it from life
This gives me the confidence to embrace my clueleeness and just wing it
Thank you
Thank you so much
