WEBVTT -- English

00:00:07.980 --> 00:00:09.980
Hi there! My name's Lucy Bellwood.

00:00:10.093 --> 00:00:12.426
I'm a professional Adventure Cartoonist living in Portland, Oregon.

00:00:12.426 --> 00:00:16.344
You may know me from Kickstarter campaigns 
like "True Believer"

00:00:16.382 --> 00:00:19.175
or "Baggywrinkles: a Lubber's Guide to Life at Sea"

00:00:19.434 --> 00:00:22.551
or for my nonfiction comics work for online outlets like The Nib.

00:00:22.553 --> 00:00:24.553
- Today, I'm—

00:00:24.649 --> 00:00:26.649
- Garbage!
- Shh!

00:00:26.650 --> 00:00:28.751
- Today, I'm here to tell you about—
- You're garbage.

00:00:28.832 --> 00:00:31.550
- Can you not? I'm trying to film the video for the Kickstarte—

00:00:31.579 --> 00:00:33.579
- Tooootal trash.

00:00:34.575 --> 00:00:37.651
- Okay. This is my demon.
- *THBBBTHHHH.*

00:00:37.689 --> 00:00:40.259
He's the little voice in my head who tells me I'm no good.

00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:43.536
Chances are, wherever you are in your life or your career,

00:00:43.537 --> 00:00:45.817
you've probably got one, too.

00:00:45.819 --> 00:00:47.819
This year, for the Hundred Day Project

00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:49.942
I decided to illustrate 100 Demon Dialogues

00:00:49.944 --> 00:00:53.070
to have a chat with the little jerk and see what I could learn.

00:00:53.442 --> 00:00:55.981
What started out as a personal chronicle of negative self-talk

00:00:56.091 --> 00:00:59.305
turned into an exploration of all kinds of experiences.

00:00:59.412 --> 00:01:01.412
As the project went on,

00:01:01.414 --> 00:01:03.414
I found out that we're more of a team than I'd thought.

00:01:03.558 --> 00:01:07.111
Even as a firm believer in honesty and vulnerability,

00:01:07.112 --> 00:01:09.903
I was scared to share these drawings.

00:01:09.903 --> 00:01:12.602
They felt too personal—too raw.

00:01:12.679 --> 00:01:15.570
But, the more of them I put online, the more I found out

00:01:15.638 --> 00:01:17.638
people really related to them.

00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:21.099
- This is because I'm ADORABLE.
- Yeah, okay. Pipe down, pipe down.

00:01:21.314 --> 00:01:24.450
SO! I'm collecting all of these comics into a book.

00:01:24.688 --> 00:01:26.870
The print edition will be a handsome, six-inch-square,

00:01:26.950 --> 00:01:28.950
black-and-white volume,

00:01:28.950 --> 00:01:30.950
clocking in around 120 pages.

00:01:31.129 --> 00:01:33.290
There's softcover and hardcover editions,

00:01:33.358 --> 00:01:37.070
both with all the fancy frills and 
attention to detail folks have come 
to expect from my work.

00:01:37.250 --> 00:01:39.641
- Ooooooh!

00:01:39.697 --> 00:01:43.159
I've also put together a couple special 
Kickstarter rewards to sweeten the deal:

00:01:43.274 --> 00:01:46.248
Fancy letterpress prints and PLUSH DEMONS!

00:01:46.340 --> 00:01:48.370
- I'm beautiful!

00:01:48.477 --> 00:01:52.549
Basically, if you've ever wanted some new ways
to talk back to your self-doubt and anxiety:

00:01:52.611 --> 00:01:54.611
This is the book for you.

00:01:54.611 --> 00:01:57.230
So check it out! And thanks so much for following along.

00:02:00.894 --> 00:02:02.894
- Great! I think we got it.

00:02:02.896 --> 00:02:04.896
- Hey! That was actually pretty good.

00:02:04.897 --> 00:02:06.897
- Thanks, buddy.
