Burnout
We’ve all been there, whether it be from school stresses, personal dramas or work based fuckery.
Sometimes you think - I got this! But babe, sometimes you don’t got this. And that my friend is a slippery slope to BURNOUT!
This is the first comic I have painted with gouache. It was a bit more time consuming, but I love the look!
It’s a comic that started serious, but ended silly. In the end, I thought making a lighthearted comic about how cats would approach avoiding burnout would be more helpful for us all. :)

What do you think? Should we be more cat? My cat Mimi says yes!
Being serious though. Burnout is a real thing guys! Let’s be nice to ourselves and ask for help when we need it!
Peace out,
Jess and Mimi xxx
