She's Not There

She's Not There is a new comic strip that I have been working on this entire year. It's about a writer/blogger surviving the everyday life of New York City. The main character Samantha Jameson - real name - Maria Rita Cortez - is a Panamanian American who's a writer, music geek, and introvert. She talks to people but really don't associate herself with a lot of people because that's the ways she is. A 32 year old geek who never been in a relationship, finds comfort in the public library, and is addicted to Facebook, Twitter and other social medium. Samantha don't have a real job just as yet. She's not a slacker - okay in retrospect she is - but she likes to keep herself busy.

All in all Samantha is pretty much me. No. She is me just more hand drawn - but I put my character to the extreme. Like having a fire starter power that I call talent and other geeky things like that.
