Aruba between the lines
#builtinpublic
Big thanks to Stimulerings Fonds for supporting this project 🤙
In 2024, I got funding to spend a full year on something creative. I chose comics. I’ve always loved them—grew up reading them, even made one when I launched my business. So going back to that medium? Felt natural.
This time, I’m connecting it to Aruba—its culture, its identity, and the stories that shaped me.
On this site, I’ll be sharing the behind-the-scenes here—rough drafts, messy notes, etc. Grab a coffee ☕ and follow along.
