So back I am on the twitterage and popping up on FB here and there.

Getting back in front of the desk  Has been a great relief.

I’m totally exhausted back to a routine of sleeping of about five hours a night and yet… somehow I feel great!

working on the comic laying out this art book getting a new batch of T-shirts made up and making leaps and bounds with my writing process this last week or two.

I feel like I need to make more of an effort to include the narrative of my creative process into this site in some way. I mean The point of doing it in web format was supposed to be to share the creative process and make it a part of the development of it as a project.

I think instead of watering down my web presence by distracting myself with a myriad of little projects, (which I do all the time because I’m prone to distraction) and always tripping over myself in false starts out of my over eagerness to get started on them. But now I’m learning from my own mistakes. And Now that I’m focused on just this and nothing else I need to do something in the gaps between being able to produce a page(I can be satisfied with). My life is very full. I have many skills but I’m not great at time management.  I need to find a way to keep you guys entertained… This is still a half formed idea right now but I’m going to start a work diary.

I have put up a first page and moved it over to my main site let me know what you think.

More soon ^__^


Well so you may be wondering what the hell is going on with me?

Schedule keeps changing and I keep dropping and out?

Well – Back in May I realized I have to change my approach with my schedule and specifically my production schedule for Meta.

and I haven’t really worked it out yet.  But also I’m taking most of the summer off to be with my kid for her vacation.

(Right now it’s mostly been working our way through Lego Indiana Jones and tooling around our neighborhood on our bikes.)

So yes new pages are currently in production, but I think it’s safe to expect I’ll be posting them more like once a month till things balance out for time. And September things will return to normal.

But I want to share my creative process especially on the writing side.  So over the coming weeks I’m gonna figure out a way to work that into things. maybe a daily work ramblings post, or podcast? Also want to continue to share my drawing and coloring process through Ustream . But the main idea is to find an effective and entertaining way to share my production process.

So if you have any ideas holler and let me know!

- More soon


So for a while now the text on page 27 was bugging me. Mostly because I had a specific idea when I started out to do the page , but I simplified things for the sake of finishing the page to move on. But it just kept bugging me, so I fixed it. Now the floating text is sort of 3d. Anyway hope you dig it and hope it adds to the page.

If not, well I guess I wasted a night for my own ego masturbation. ^__^

More soon!


Putting the finishing touches on the next page and in the mean time thought I’d throw you a sneak peak.

enjoy  ^__^


Wow, the days have really run away from me.

It’s strange how fast things get backlogged. but I’m finally coming up for air and seeing the pile has some what subsided.

I am so grateful for all of the great comments and questions you guys have been posting about the comic.  I am so thrilled to have my little audience. I’ve been working hard on the writing end of things and I plan on jumping back into page production asap.

I had to take a little step back and reassess some of my plans.

I was a few weeks back 350lbs. And at the beginning of the year living in a state of perpetual sleep deprivation. Also perpetually playing catch up on all my projects and private commissions some back logged by years.

Anyway I’m making the effort to change my ways.

Changed my diet, added daily exercise, and a healthier sleep routine. I’m down to 307 lbs.

40mins of exercise a day and about 6-8 hours of sleep a day.

And now to the pile of backlogged work. I took on a few jobs and I’ll be doing a few more over the summer to keep the engine well lubricated, but the plan right now is to spread things out enough to keep the schedule going for Meta N . The plan for this time off was to get ahead with the pages by a few months so I could deal with conventions and what not.  But it’s turned into a great productive time for me to get into the groove of writing.

Ok back to it.

Back to posting pages by June 11th (Fo-really-realz)
