Don't Notice Me (Patreon)

Boy I've been quiet here.

Our figure drawing sessions have been canceled the last two weeks. I haven't been drawing much, but I've spent most of my time typing away at the book in my cozy studio. This comfortable brown chair and perfect-sized little table that I found in discarded in an alley must be giving me superpowers because I've been hitting my stride lately.

Or it may just be that the hardest part - starting - is over and I'm not doubting myself as much these days. 

It doesn't hurt that a handful of GenCon attendees came to visit me last week at my booth (HELLO <3) and doled out some incredible encouragement to me. It helps to be reminded - by multiple people, even - that you haven't been forgotten and that there are folks out there who still really wanna read your comics.

And there's also this thing above, which is just a draft for a strip I had on my mind while I was camping on Antelope Island in Salt Lake. While I was out west in June, I was contacted by the editor of a very reputable publication and asked to submit some comic ideas for their Opinions page. They're the level of "reputable" that makes you type out "I'm sorry, did you intend to email ME?" in your reply and then delete it and act like, sure, you're worthy of that level of attention.

Anyway, I sent them two drafts as soon as I got home and haven't heard back about either in over a month, so I don't think it'll amount to anything. But it's really nice to be asked! 

Since I've been so quiet here recently, I'll share a few other little things with you soon. Would you like to see the other comic draft I sent the editor? It also takes place on Antelope Island, and yet somehow stars everyone's favorite black cat. ;)
