…but the end of October and beginning of November are a bit hectic for me. My parents came up to visit over the weekend of October 30 thru November 1st, so I spent most of my freetime hanging out with the family instead of locking myself in the apartment to draw and play videogames, as usual. Because of this, I only had Sunday night to prep and sketch Monday’s script for inking/coloring, and because of various issues at work, I just didn’t have the time to get it done Sunday or Monday night.
(It didn’t help that my one-off comic idea for Monday’s Gleeful Nihilism snowballed into a weeklong story arc either… when the inspiration bug bites, you just go with it. So most of my Sunday was spent writing and sketching a weeks worth of comics for that.)
So, I’ve decided to skip the Monday, November 2nd update for the sake of my sanity. I’ll have it posted on Thursday instead, which works better actually, because it will give me time to start on next week’s comics before the Anime Nebraskon this Fri/Sat/Sun in Omaha. I’m not gonna have a table at it (because I have nothing to sell anyway), but I will be there and will have some business cards for the comics. It’s more of a meet and greet sorta thing for me… and no, I’m not gonna be targeting the main group of attendees, cause if I wanted to do that, I shoulda got merch ready and gotten a table. Instead, my focus will be on meeting and hopefully networking with the other artist/webcomic types in attendance.
I apologize for the skipped update, I’ve been trying to be timely and not skip stuff for whatever reason, but hopefully you understand and don’t hate me. I’ll see ya Thursday. And I’ll bring a comic with me. Promise.
UPDATE (11/5/09): my little brother is in the hospital again. He started to make cyanide in the apartment on the 4th, around 1am while I was at work, stopped and checked into the local mental ward place. He’s doing alright but the parents came back up that night, I was back and forth between the hospital all Wednesday, and didn’t get any real good sleep until Thursday afternoon. So, Thursdays comic was delayed too. Both should be up next week, since I’m already shading the one that shoulda been up Thursday. Hopefully in my downtime at the con this weekend I can sketch/ink next Thursdays and stay on track. Anyway, sorry but once again, its all sorta out of my control.
