Professional feedback is one thing, but there is a special breed of person who thinks that they have some special knowledge about you that they just have to share. For your benefit, of course.

Having lived in China for quite a while, I've seen a lot of unusual things. In fact, many Chinese and foreigners get so used to weird occurrences and weird fashion that people just generally ignore it.

Many movies and TV shows have amazing and iconic couples and love stories that most of us know and cherish. Their stories are romantic, full of adventure and drama that keeps us glued to the screen, hoping they will end up together.

The coronavirus is still spreading around the world. As are all the jokes surrounding it. Humor has turned out to be essential during these difficult times.

But the way we actually live our reality and what we put out to the world to see can be slightly, or drastically, different. There are two kinds of people on social media—those who have a glam, pitch-perfect life, and those who like to keep it real. With Geraldine West, you get the best of both worlds.

The idea for “#ThingsThatiHear” arrived when I was visiting a cookware store in Los Angeles. A young woman was looking at her phone and gave a big sigh, turned to her friend decisively and exclaimed, “He wants to go to Bali. But I say Fiji!” I couldn’t help but laugh. The absurdity of this “first world problem” was too much. From that moment on I started to catch all sorts of real-life conversations, that eventually turned into these illustrations.

When the full moon rises, it’s more than just werewolves that start howling in the deep, dark forests of the world.
