Counselling Pt 1

Though this was not written by me, I have been in and out of councilors officers. The first few where related to school where they made me go. Both times the reasons were not adopted related yet the first thing they wanted to know was about my adoption… some times i felt that the councilors believed that adoption is an easy “hook” to pin anything in life on. Later in life (early early 20’s) i saw a few councilors specifically when i started exploring my adoption, but it was when i was ready and on my terms…. and it did help =). So i’ve seen both sides of the coin.

Also this this comic i have started to use a different technic. I have been using drawing pens instead of pencil. It seems to scan better but slightly less “sketchy” then the pencil. But still gonna stick with it for a while. I’m still only  learning as a go.

What kind of Adoptee are you? Pt1

Well, this is pretty much my hands and one of the pencils i use =). I’m not very good at drawing cartoon hands… but bigger hands are ok, need to work on little cartoon hands =D. I never learnt “2×2 Matrix” in school (or i was not paying attention which is highly likely =P i was a terrible student… You could usually find me doodling).

When i was looking for examples of 2×2 matrix online my husband who was also looking came across this comic… and maybe i shouldn’t pimp someone else comic, but i found it very funny  =) check it out Indexed – http://thisisindexed.com/

[EDIT] I actually had originally uploaded a slightly different version. But both me and Bert felt it didn’t totally work. It doesn’t matter if it’s written, drawn or contemporary art sometimes expression complex adoption issues with the message that you intend is indeed a huge challenge. Bring it on!!!! =D
