I get it, there is a time and a place to hold your opinion close and just say "vote!" without advocating for a particular party. "It's your civic duty. People died to give you such an opportunity." And so on. But to advocate for a party these days seems to be an invitation to argue about your reasons for doing so. I suppose that's why I'm only ( Read more... )

I’m up again late when I should be sleeping. Trying to sleep. Been in bed for three and a half hours. Instead I’m sitting here thinking about things I have no control over. Things that make me concerned, namely how the hell we’re living in a world where people can straight-faced say they don’t like either candidate for president but that they’re ( Read more... )

As I type this I’m sitting at the dinning table where Joey-Poey and Tooiebird live surrounding by their two dogs and my daughter who is busily decoding all the things in her two new Gravity Falls books ( Read more... )

I was born with a 3rd degree club foot on my left side. This lead to an operation when I was a few months old and a major operation again when I was eight years old to allow my stance to be more balanced and my weight to rest on the flat sole of my foot instead of rolling to the side.

So for the first time in a long, long time I'm feeling calm. Hopeful. I've been working hard for the past month to set myself up for success at Anthrocon this coming weekend. I have a boatload of new stickers and decals made along with a bunch of prints large, medium, and small in size along with a new display stand and booklet for people to ( Read more... )

As I've mentioned here in the past I've been in a rather long term state of depression and anxiety over how my career has been and how my future stability will be obtained and maintained. There's been all kinds of stress over my efforts to lower my expenses, increase my productivity, and train myself to be more valuable as a job candidate. ( Read more... )

I feel like I'm awaiting the inevitable. There's a truck heading my way and there's no avoiding it. It's going to happen and the only question is "when"? I'm feeling good about my artwork, and the response to the commissions I've delivered has been consistently positive and reassuring, but the actual revenue I've been getting has been below what ( Read more... )

So I’m currently debating what the prospects are for me to attend Furrydelphia (Philadelphia, PA). I’ve been approved, and I actually already had my credit card charged for registration… but I’m currently trying to figure out whether it’s going to be worth the cost. I’m in a weird state right now where I just don’t know what the best course of ( Read more... )

A couple times recently I was looking back at the commissions I'd completed over the past 12 months and I thought to myself "Wow... I drew that. I really did that, -this is the kind of quality that I remember being inspired by back when I was in college and first started getting influenced by other artists." I'm proud of that, and I pinch myself ( Read more... )
