Getting closer....

Time flies. It's hard to believe it has been nine months since I last updated this blog. A couple things:

I've just ten more pages of art to go before my comic book is done; well, the drawing part anyway. I decided I'll likely color it, and I have to prep the book itself for layout, but, for me, it's quite an achievement. I do my own hand lettering, too, so that's also completed as I go. I'm thinking it's going to go onto Kickstarter, and we'll see what happens. I guess some people actually do read this blog, which is crazy because I don't publicize it, at all. It's more for me, than anything. But when I get around to a Kickstarter campaign, I'll post about it here. It looks like it'll come in at 43 pages.

The other big thing in my life that has changed is that I lost a good friend I've known for upwards of twenty-five years this past June. He was 48 years old. Another reminder that our time on this Earth is not only limited, but, in part, very much out of our control. I wish I tried harder to talk to him over the phone more often than I did.

The funny thing about this comic book I'm doing, honestly, to me, is the artistic evolution from page one to the latest page. I could be 100% wrong, but I think it will be part of the charm of it. Like, even if your work is sub-par (to you), there is no time like the present to just start and keep going and push forward through the doubt and struggles. Re-doing any of the work, at this point, seems wrong, because that's just where I was in the journey.

Anyway, I'll see you again soon; hopefully with an update that the art is done and onward to the colors. I decided to color it based on the era of the story, which will be an interesting experiment.
