Pardon that I didn’t make a note that I would be out of town last weekend, and as such there would be no update. But that doesn’t matter now does it? Since we’re here, with updates now.

I may do some ducking out of double page updates over the next few months, as I’ll be doing the Art Slam Challenge. This is a tentative head’s up, but who knows, I may get time to do both in lovely artistic harmony.

And if you enjoy following my comic work, my secondary comic, Asis is going to start a massive seven page update to finish out the first chapter as of June 1st.

I think I would like to never deal with formatting over 250 pages in less than a week, ever again. Can we agree to this?

The work paid off though, right now I have two smashingly fun books in dead tree format just waiting to fill that void on your shelf.

Trails is a 220 black and white sketchbook featuring 10 years of art, as well as 50 pages of comic work. This War Machine is a 36 page full color stand alone comic, and features some extra design work sketches to round out the 50 page count.

That IOU page, it’s up. Also updated new pages to the revamp project, from 44 to 50 55. Once again, this weekend is technically a week off for me with the chapter end, but I’ll likely be adding a few more of the revamp pages for Monday instead of sleeping.

That IUO page? Coming up soon, I did the math for how to post the last of chapter 17, and it turns out this time, I end on an even number of pages for weekly updates. The usual tradition is to take the following off, so I can do some opener/ender art, but this time I’ll do a single page post to make up for that missed update a few weeks ago.

Deal? Yes.

Also, you should check out ‘Good Enough’, another webcomic I’ve added to my list of things I am currently reading.

That Monday page? Yeah..let’s talk about that.

Not happening, nor is next weekend’s update. I can explain really.

I don’t get a lot of trips to relax to conventions, usually I’m busting ass and not sleeping so I can pay bills. I have one a year that I do get to just go, party hard, and geek out. And that’s PAX East. I will be there, just being my chill self all weekend.

And Monday? That was Pokemon Black. A million pardons, I also don’t get a lot of time to just enjoy a game.

I O U: One extra page after my glorious return from the pits of geekery.

How’s it going? Yes.

Me, I’ve been battling massive snow storms, and internet outages the last two weeks. However, most of that is over now. I can wear normal jackets now.

In regards to the ‘One Week’ storyline, and the poll from last month. I’ve just finished doing the thumbnails for the chapter, it will contain some of the story as a weekly posting, but a handful of bonus pages (Official number TBA), will only be given out to donors during the month it starts to run. Best of both worlds, the stuff that furthers the story directly is will be available for everyone, and some fun extra stuff that isn’t directly referenced later will be a reward for helping keeping my hosting bill from eating my food bill.

If anyone is curious, I pay roughly $10.49 a month to keep this comic up, which currently, my adspace barely covers on a good month. Donations are always welcome. Or likewise, purchasing of original art and merchandise from my online store helps out just as much.

You know what else is awesome? A good friend is offering up pre-orders for her comic Elysion Age, and super good price, if you haven’t checked it out, you should.

Ended up taking a two day break to party hard for my birthday, and in such didn’t get a chance to sit and pencil Monday’s page. It will be posted Tuesday, and a third bonus page to be posted either Wednesday or Thursday, it depends on when I’m around.

Next weekend there will be no updates, due to my being out of town. Everything will go back to the plan the following weekend.

PS edit: Planning a three page update the following weekend for the missed days.

In the mean time, an awesome online friend just revived an older project, now named ‘Point B’, you should check it out.

Tonight it felt strange changing the dating on my comic pages to the new year, but we’re kicking off.

Also part of the New Years, my secondary web-comic, Asis started it’s four page a month update with a new page tonight, and will be continuing the next few days.

So, lately I’ve been catching up to thumb nailing the comic, and it’s really hit me that I’m pretty close to the end at this point. I stopped work when I hit a point where I had originally included a 12ish page side story called ‘One Week’. Originally I had planned this side to be given to donors, as it didn’t add anything directly to the story and was just a fun little detour into details of an event that will happen in the story.

Now that I’ve actually hit this point, I think I might be able to make it a bit more in depth and pull it into a half sized chapter in itself.

What say you guys?
