Children at Play

I LIVE! Before anything else I wanna thank everyone who's been sticking with us despite my sudden disappearance. Theres a good number of you and I really do appreciate it. Now, I think I owe you guys some kind of explaination. Well, some of the people I met at Portcon know I was working on doing some art with vectors for the first time. Since then I've been spending far too much time on Paintshop Pro making original vector art pieces for me DA account. Theres 10 or so different pieces, and while they're not comics if you've become attracted to my style at all I'd recommend checking them out. Some of them, at the risk of sounding egotistical, are pretty sweet. The thing is the quality of these things are directly proportional to the amount of time I'm willing to spend on each piece. And being anal retentive about art, and details that no one will ever notice but me, keeps me up till 6am often working on this stuff. After that I have a full day of work, last week I worked 47 hours. And I'm looking to pick up a second day job. I've been so preoccupied with the vector art over the comic because there exists the opportunity to get some actual design work. I already possibly have 2 jobs coming up, possibly one for Deep Dish (which blows my peanut sized mind.)

You may notice that today's comic is in vector as well. It takes more time, but I love the way it looks and vector's so versitile I can change details without having to draw a whole new picture which, in the long run will hopefully cut down on the time it takes to create each comic. Plus I'm to anal to create a substandard comic when I have the equipment necessary to make a really pretty one.

So what this all adds up to is that comics may continue to be a little sporadic, although I expect a little more than one a month like july, more like one a week. I promise I'm not abandoning the comic in anyway though. If you're ever curious about whats going on with a late comic or the status of things theres about a hundred ways to get in touch with me. I won't leave you hanging

See you in the funny pages,

Nate
