The last two months have flown by. I finished working on the NFT's that I was telling you about. Now I'm just waiting to see when Macroverse decides to drop them. (That means, put them up for sale)

I did a few more small road trips and discovered that I didn't like traveling alone as much as I thought I would. It felt like I was trying to escape from my life. Once I realized this, I began longing  to get home and start working on a project. So I guess the traveling worked! 

When I got home, I started working again on the last big project that was unfinished... 

Cognitive Drawing (the female book) 

I started formulating a plan to get it finished by the end of summer and made daily goals so that I could launch a Kickstarter in August. So far I'm on track too! 

I've completely reworked what the pages look like and added a bunch of hints and I think it's going to be a much stronger book now. It's so much better that I'm going to update the Male book as well to match the new Female book. Here are some sample pages to see what it's looking like.

Everyday I'm trying to finish 2 to 4 pages on this until it is complete. :) So look forward to an announcement later this summer about the kickstarter. 

Music

The two people who like my music keep asking if I'm going to share anything new that I've been working in––because I have been working on lots of music––it's just never finished and so I never release anything. Plus, my computer that had all my music on it stopped working several months ago and so it's just sitting in storage waiting for me to recover everything off of the hard drive someday. But in the meantime I've been working on some new songs and even a music video. 

Even though it's not finished, I might as well let you hear a demo of my newest recording called The Valley. It's super chill and I wrote it during a very low time in my brain. It's kinda like a prayer. And it has actually helped me get through some hard days. My friend Dessa, helped me write the backup chorus too. You can hear her singing her lines in the chorus. I've attached the full demo song to this post.

Here is a short clip of the music video that I'm still working on too so you can get a feel for that too. Sorry, it's not finished either. (PLEASE DON'T SHARE)

(AGAIN, PLEASE DON'T SHARE THIS)

My editing is a little rusty. If anyone loves editing music videos (used Adobe Premier) and wants to help me get this all polished up, then hit me up. I have lots of cool footage and even some special effects in this video.

LIFE UPDATE

Things have been going good. I'm making some new friends. I'm going on some dates. Doing mini-vacations with the kids randomly. Playing videos games (PS5). I've finished most of my new house remodel––just need to do the yard and bathrooms now. I'm stress free. Debt free. Relaxed and motivated. Feel happy most of the time. Excited about the future. And I think I'm in better shape than I've been for a long time too. 

I am planning to start live-streaming again one of these days too. But it will probably after I finish Cognitive Drawing. :)

Thanks so much for continuing to support me. Talk soon!

Oh man! I'm SUPER excited to get the Female Cognitive Drawing! Great news!

The song is lovely. 💚

Right on! Sounds like good progress all around. Music is good. Definitely release your music. Bandcamp is where I buy music when I can because they pay artists the most from what I understand.

Awesome update, thanks for sharing Jason. I gave a couple copies of Re-Mind to some friends kids a few months back. They just visited us yesterday and told me that they're now obsessed with comics, which was really cool to hear. You've hooked another 3 kids to reading. I gave them a copy of Cardboard and Interstella this time :)

Anna Raub

I'm really glad to hear that things seem to be falling into place now. Hope you complete more of your music, I enjoy it too! :)

Firstly it's good to see things are good for you. I have been away from patreon... for a very long time, not sure how long... (I have kind of been away from online environments in general) and came here today just to update my credit card info as it's expiring... so at first your post seemed really confusing but now when I have gone trought the past posts I can just say that you have had a long and bumby journey since I last time was here but as there is no point of digging those things up I can just wish all the best for you and your future whatever it will be, and give yourself time healing is not linear thing.

I keep working on it everyday. But I keep getting distracted with random things that slow down my progress. At this time I only have about 20 more pages to finish. On a good day I can do about 6 pages. Soooo yeah. Then I’ll need to switch gears to work on the Kickstarter and get that all set up. So now I’m thinking it will launch early next month.
