Some people are born with the need to create art. That's exactly who Brian Kings is. Since he was three years old, Brian dreamed of being a cartoonist. He is finally making his dream come true.
Brian creates fun and silly comics filled with all sorts of topics, from fantasy themes to real-life stories to naughty jokes. His art style is very simplistic, but there is no denying the artist is very creative.
Brian told Bored Panda: "Well, I wanted to make comics my whole life but I never felt ready, had a bad bout with depression, and used the comics to kinda lift myself up. I take an hour a day, usually my lunch break, and make a comic, sometimes I will color when I get home, but being a dad I don't always have a big pocket of time. In 3 years I think I have missed 6 days of making comics, I have over 1000… guess I was always ready! It's one of the best parts of my life and my day.
I try and just improve my comics every time I sit down, the first comics were black and white, the colored ones in the very beginning took 5 hours… but now I can knock out a good-looking comic to me in one hour. There are some beautiful comics out there, it's easy to get intimidated."
