Jakey told us that on January 21st, 2019, something clicked for him. It was right after his birthday, and he felt a strong urge to take his art more seriously. Despite trying improv, struggling with stand-up comedy, and doing lots of musical and dramatic performances, he realized that live performance wasn't bringing him joy.
Ever since Jakey was a kid, he loved doodling and drawing on everything. He admitted, "I had a pretty short attention span back then, but no matter what, I always managed to finish my work – it just ended up covered in doodles." His passion for drawing started early, and it seems like he couldn't resist adding his creative touch to whatever he was working on.
"I think since I could hold a pencil drawing was my favorite thing but I don't practice realism just silly doodles. For almost 2 years before starting my comics, I stopped doodling almost entirely. I kinda gave up on it, just would sometimes scribble."
