2012 Project Updates, Thinking and Doing
Wednesday, January 4th, 2012There was so much I wanted to say in the past 2 years…convention updates, incriminating evidence about the guy who hit my car at WonderCon 2010 and didn’t do the right thing, comics about my pregnancy during 2010, comics about the fun and sometimes ridiculous stuff going on at my day job…but I didn’t get a chance. Life has been very full since I decided to start a family, and it’s been a struggle to find time for art and myself. Still, my little boy Griffith has been worth all the pain, and he brings joy and inspiration to me every day:
So! Rather than focus on everything I didn’t do in the past 2 years, I am choosing to move forward. A new year is always a chance for a new start, and I’m resolving to close the gap between thinking and doing. Basically, that means dedicating more time to get back to the basics of simply creating art (and maybe a little bit of writing about the process or the pieces).
I’ve also resolved to put together the last volume of Tea Club later this year. I have to get through a move and a wedding first, but my plan is to debut Tea Club volume 2 at Comic-Con 2012. Once this volume is done, I can finally close the chapter on Tea Club graphic novels…at least for now 
Unemployed Pandas will also be coming to a close very soon (the loose goal is to finish it sometime this month). There are a handful of comics left before the series end, and I’m going to spend today drawing one of them. Once the last few comics have been drawn, I’ll be scheduling the updates to the series finale.
My hope is to have more updates everywhere–this website, this blog, my company Facebook page, and of course my online store. It is quite a challenge to coordinate all those efforts plus juggle my new family, but in the end it’s all very happy-busy work and will be all worth it.
Thanks for coming along on this ride with me, I will have more to show soon!
