Hi y'all!  Long time no see. 

I pretty much took 2012 off to pursue offline art gigs and indulge in life.  It certainly affected how active I was online, but I don’t regret lazing about. The past 12 months was a year of false starts: five projects I contributed comics or art to have yet to see the light of day, and some of them probably never will.  That was pretty discouraging, but the lot of an artist, I suppose.

I’ve also been too bogged down with meaningless things lately.  I wish I could say it was something exciting and me and Brazilian hookers ‘n’ blow are never ever ever getting back together, but it’s really more pathetic stuff - see Fig. A.  I would say I’m trying to “Ann Perkins” it and date MYSELF right now except I am kinda seeing someone - POINT IS: I’m moving distractions out of the way.  Despite setbacks, it’s time to return to what really moves and drives me: art that I share with other people.  Really, that Fig. A led to some pretty amazing stories I could turn into more Picnic comics and before you know it, BAM, I’m the next Rick Worley.  Radical feminists coined the term “the personal is political”; for me it’s also the personal is artistic(al?) since my personal philosophies and experiences leech into my art in everything from autobio to how I shape my fictional characters.  This is my rationale for why I intertwine art updates on my Tumblr with all this TMI about what else I’ve been doing. Sorry I’m not sorry!

Bottom line: gonna get back to drawing more.  Just bought a new desktop pc to power my comeback!  Expect more frequent updates but same terrible record of not reading anyone else’s blog and inane rants on comics narrative structure.  Plus occasional naked butts.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
