Illustrator Evan M. Cohen Unveils Empowering Comic “Clearing”
Evan M. Cohen, a multifaceted illustrator, animator, and comic book artist, has released a poignant comic titled “Clearing.” Based at Hudson Valley Brewery in Beacon, NY, Cohen now resides in the Midwest. This work focuses on the theme of self-empowerment during challenging times.
“Sometimes the best remedy comes from within, from searching your own life for answers and pulling yourself up from the depths. In the middle of the storm, when you feel like no one is there to help you, you will find yourself waiting.”
The comic serves as a reminder that resilience and inner strength are critical resources when one faces adversity. Readers can explore the entire comic and support Cohen’s artistic endeavors here.
Accompanying Poem from “Clearing”
Once more I am offshore,
Hoping for a storm.
In the water I see a light.
Below the surface,
A parallel life.
Should this take
All of me
To be?
Tomorrow,
Like the waves,
Wash away today.
I dive
Without warning,
Come up for air
In the morning.
