The only people curious about me are those who need something from me. Which tells me a lot about the possible future of my personal projects and if I should even bother.
I'll keep doing contract work, but for my own stuff... well, it all makes sense now to just toss it.

Some corny comic I drew a ways back. I loved drawing kids books, but the opportunities seemed to have fizzled out with government moves that are effecting projects like this.

For the record, I don't want a funeral. I just want to be remembered. I want my work displayed in natural light, I want my books worn and well-read. I want people laughing over what I might have said or done. I want my loved ones happy, that's all I've ever wanted.

#art If you're in the mood for something scary or planning your horror watches for next month: please check out my work for Unsolved Mysteries (on Netflix)! I drew the art featured in season 3, episode 5: "Paranormal Rangers"! It was amazing to be involved with a series I grew up watching.

Folks that have been doing Artist Alley for 10+ years, I dunno how you do it. I've been trying to Artist Alley since 2011 and it's been one miserable expensive failure after another. The ONLY moderately successful con I've worked was the 2016 Indigenous Comic Con, where I netted a whopping $800

Re-watching Avengers Endgame and I can't stop thinking about the people who turned to ash in Infinity War. Some of them may have been on a commercial airplane, flying a helicopter, on a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean, bungee jumping, pregnant women... oh, I don't wanna even go there.
