Life Update + Plato's Cave Comic (Patreon)

Hi all! 

First off I want to welcome the new patrons this month. Your support is what literally feeds me and covers my bills so I am extremely grateful to you for being here.

Second, I want to give you another free comic. I was commissioned to adapt, write and draw it for Cave Pictures Publishing a few years ago. It's a short 12 page comic on The Allegory of the Cave by Plato. I've attached the PDF to this update.

This month has been a rollercoaster to say the least. Wondering thoughts about my future, and disappointments of my past still haunt me at times and keep me locked up from doing anything in the moment. But along with the painful things to swallow, I've been enjoying the moments when I get wrapped up in new work, dreams and goals. 

I'm still working on the Enoch comic and it's coming along nicely. Here is one of my new favorite spreads, so far, when a mysterious star falls from the sky and starts living with the animals.

It's really fun to adapt things that were written so long ago. 

Along with ancient ideas I've also been working on extremely modern ideas in the NFT space. So far I haven't settled on a look and design direction just yet but I'm getting closer to something that I think might be attractive to the masses. And just so you know, I'm trying to make the "profile picture" NFT's that are automatically generated from a bunch of different parts. Here are some of the newest versions that I've been testing out.

Nothing feels right just yet but I'm going to keep trying until I come up with something that I'm happy with.

In addition to that stuff, I started making Youtube videos again. I put a pause on Youtube for the last year and a half to deal with life changes. Plus, I didn't want to have to answer questions about why everything in my life was different. But finally last week I got up the nerve to finally post a new video to get the internet caught up on my situation. Here it is if you haven't seen it yet:

Now that THAT is out of the way, I feel more comfortable making new Youtube videos again. I spent a day and a half with a friend of mine shooting a stupid video that I'm still editing. Hopefully in the next few weeks I'll have it finished and uploaded for you. Don't expect anything serious. ;)

On Friday I'm planning on heading out of town for another road trip by myself. My plan is to go visit my cousins on the farm and then pass through The Redwood Forrest in Northern California and then stay in Crescent City, California for a few days as I draw Enoch pages on my iPad. Maybe I'll do some more filming for future Youtube videos while I'm out there too. 

Well, that's all I have for you right now. Thanks so much for your support and I'll see you in the next update!
