On Being Friends with Milo is an on-going self-written story, art project, character portfolio, and world building exercise that I use to get away from the real world. I started in 2016 with an original character named, Milo. And since then, the world has grew exponentially.
Dozens of characters with their own unique storylines, backgrounds, and development, in-depth plots and locations, information from past, present and future, a portfolio of artwork, and pages upon pages of screenplay formatted stories.
Michael "Milo" Lough is an enthusiastic and outgoing ball of sunshine. He loves all things music and dance, specializing in ukelele and ballet. His favorite things include: cats, comic book illustration, musical theater, ravioli, skateboarding, sweet treats (such as skittles or gummy worms) and lemon-lime drinks! He loves meeting new people and performing and has aspirations to be a professional dancer.
Penelope "Penny" Blackmer might seem intimidating at first, but deep down, they're a selfless and loyal friend. They enjoy spending time outdoors whether that be skateboarding, hiking, or wading in the creek. Penny is infatuated by biology, specifically animals and exells in anything science related. Space, aliens, and cryptids also enamor Penny, who is convinced mothman exists, and has made it their life goal to see the creature in the flesh!
Zane Anderson is a sweet goofball who is ought to make you laugh and bring a smile your face.

Fashion has also intrigued Zane, always stepping out of the box when it comes to his clothing.
