Everytime a new at-tan post is made I get dressed in my three piece suit to sit down and look at it. It's a special occasion to me.

Picturing this really made me laugh. Thanks

I have to say, I’ve gone through your catalog of art and comics a few times now. Sometimes I find it very difficult to interact with, comments or otherwise. But I don’t think I’ve seen such raw artwork like yours on any other social media platform. Especially with At-tan. It’s emotional, and uncomfortable, and scary. And it’s really amazing work.

I am offically a handofdog fan. Cheers.

handofdog responds:

Thank you very much for saying all this. It's inspired me and something I needed to hear. Putting yourself out there is, admittedly, paralyzing at times. Comments/likes aren't required, lurking is just as appreciated. In a similar way, I love a lot of things but too shy to comment or unable to carry a conversation— so I offer the same peace to others. Plus, I've been made aware my work is hard to handle, unapproachable, and not broadly appealing- whatever that says about me as a person, I won't mind anyone that prefers to keep a distance.

I feel a bit of pressure but I'll do what I've always done and stick to drawing whatever comes to me. Thank you again for this comment, it means a lot.

Oh shoot I had a similar idea with overstimulation with a drawing i had but ironically it was them all sorts of head rubs all over while having headphones on with loud music, though that was just done to drown out the character's sad thoughts. I really hope At tan is one day able to find her happiness too. Also i think that's a lovely collage you have to represent the loudness of the city, all disorganized and stuff.

handofdog responds:

You should do that drawing! Drawing from own experience, it's bound to overlap with others. I did want to start At-tan on a less cynical arc, but that's difficult to do when reality is shittier/darker than anything I could ever come up with. But definitely on a better day.

Thank you for comment & about collage.

Poor At-tan.

Love the art style.

handofdog responds:

Thank you.
