INTRODUCTION
October 9th, 2012 was a typical Tuesday night in my cozy East Village apartment: two bottles of wine (white for me, red for my roommate, Sophie), an assortment of cheeses, and two friends huddled around the kitchen table. Sophie and I were both beginning of our senior year at the School of Visual Arts, and between sips (and occasional gulps) of wine, our conversation turned — as it so often did — to the busy year ahead of us. Of course we talked about school, but we also talked about all the things we wanted to do in our spare time. "I'm going to brew my own beer," she said. "I want to go to yoga every day and learn how to make croissants," I replied, getting into the spirit of things. Suddenly, we looked at each other and burst out laughing. We realized we were both lying — neither of us actually had any free time! We were only one month into the school year, and we were already drowning in homework and design projects. These were just tiny, silly dreams that helped distract us and get us through the busy mazes of our lives.
As we giggled some more and polished off the cheese, I felt a lightbulb go off in my head. That night, I wrote down a dozen other small lies I regularly told myself, and then I started drawing. The next day, Daily Dishonesty was born. As you read through this little book of lies, I hope that you're as guilty as we were, and that you can share a laugh about life's small (and sometimes large) trials and tribulations!
