10-18: the longest wait
tick tick tick tick tick—
Oh, hello there.
I’m back! No, I’m not dead. No, I haven’t quit. I just needed an extended break I didn’t realize I needed, nor did I realize how extended it had actually gotten.
Last year I got a job doing pretty much exactly the kind of work I’ve always wanted to do. This is good. However, being a creative sort of work, it made it so that the last thing I wanted to do after I got home every night was do more creative work. This is bad. I’ve half started new pages about a dozen times over the past few months, and gotten nowhere. What changed? I’m not sure. But I’m tired of not doing comics and artwork for myself, so I’m going to make time and start again.
I haven’t decided what the schedule will be yet, but probably once a week for a while until I can knock the rust off my comic-drawing hand.
This is important.
Hi guys! Comics are on the way soon, but in the meantime, I have something I’d like to share, which is especially important if you’re American. This video does a pretty good job of summarizing, so I’ll just leave this here:
Have a couple of articles as well:
Ars Technica: House takes Senate’s bad Internet censorship bill, tries to make it worse
SOPA: Hollywood Finally Gets A Chance to Break the Internet
Get to it. Write or call your representatives and let them know what a total load of bullshit this is.
Ugh.
I probably ought to have conceded defeat a while ago on this one, but I’m taking a break. Work has been crazy and I’ve had a zillion things going on that have seriously cut into my drawing time. Maybe I ought to just take a month off from comics every summer, since that’s where I always seem to schedule slip.
New pages will start up on September 5, 2011. Sorry for the long wait! That said, if anybody wants to do any kind of filler art for between now and then, I’d gladly put it up on the main page.
Thanks for your patience, and see you in September!
Podcasting today on the Webcomic Beacon!
Just a silly reminder that I’m going to be talking about comics, watercolors, and making comics with watercolors today on the Webcomic Beacon! You can tune in live at 12 PM EST to listen in as I make a fool of myself all over the internet. They’ll also have an archived version up you can download afterwards. Should be a good time.
Also: apologies for the late pages. I have them halfway to complete, and I’m hoping to have them up tonight. Real life is awesome, but also time-consuming, unfortunately.
Mark your calendars
Hey comic readers! Sorry for the delay in pages – work, real life, all that fun stuff. I’ve got a couple of pages lined up to try and fill the gap I’ve missed, so hopefully that’ll get things more up to date. Not quitting the comic, etc., etc. Hoping to try and get the schedule smoothed out in time. I’m still planning to stick to the once-a-week updates for now.
In a bit of more interesting news, I’m going to be on the Webcomic Beacon podcast on June 19th! I’ll be talking watercolor comics with (I think) Jilly from Demon Eater and possibly some other artists. That part isn’t too clear yet, but it’ll be awesome either way. The episodes are streamed live, but they’re also archived so you can always catch it later, too! I think there’s an opportunity for chat/questions if you tune in live, so mark your calendar!
That’s all for now! Thanks for reading!
