Created by Clyde

The Created by Clyde moniker is based on the generational impact of my father, Clyde, and his father before him, and how that relates to what I want to say as an artist. Having lost him a few years ago to cancer, Processing is a long-form passion project that facilitates a conversation with a man that is no longer here, but very much still in my heart. Generational trauma, redefining masculinity and our relationship to death play a major role in my work. The creative work is a means of processing that pain and hopefully give myself a space to just be.

Bonus Content: Collecting Problems After Death #1-3

This special edition of Issue #1 collects the first 3 Problems After Death, a comic strip set in the world of Processing. Stories about Steve Jobs and other challenges within the Processing Department round out this issue for a full 32 pages of comics.
