News! Good and bad.

Journal Entry: Thu May 8, 2008, 11:25 PM
Well, I keep the wait on the update down to 5 months only this time...good eh??

Well stuff's been abrewin' in that time. Good news, I recently finished up the IDW mini-series Rogue Angel. It was a fun, tough learning process. It was my first real book I've pencilled, I can't even start listing all I've learned about comics, and how much I still really need to learn. Just wish me the luck I need to keep improving!

I have another book I'm now finishing work on that been waiting patiently for me to finish, so I will have more on that next time.

I did recently stop doing sketch card sets for the last 6 months or so, but I'm thinking of taking on a few more sets. Just when I thought I was done, they keep coming back! :p

As for the bad, I recently went through a painful miscarriage at 10 weeks. It was a very bad experience, made even tougher by meeting deadlines throughout it. But that's life I guess. It's been a few weeks now and things are looking brighter again.

I guess that's pretty much it :) Oh, and I have tables at the Heroes Con in Charlotte ( June) and the San Diego Comic Con (July) so please look for me and say hi!

Okay, thanks for reading guys :)

Life doesn't stop. I'm glad your doing better, but I'm sorry to hear that you had to go through it. Loss is always hard.

On a happy note, you completed your work and focus on something new, and you've learned alot and grown as a person.

Good luck.

Wow- sounds like heaps. And it's all pro stuff too. I know how bad it was for me drawing my comic, and even though it was printed, there was no money stresses. I hope things get better for you- I can't imagine how it is to miss carry. My heart is with you :( To have someone so close. I wish you the best for next time :)

I'm really sorry to hear about your miscarraige. Hope nothing permanent came out of it.

I added you because I saw the preview pages of Pono Loa you did on comicspace. Could that be the next big thing you're working on? I really can't wait for that one. A Polynesian fantasy book. Right up my alley.

Again, hope all is going well with you now and good luck on everything in your life.

See you at SDCC!

Nae, I'm sorry to hear about the miscarriage. I'm glad you're doing better. Best wishes as always, and pass them on to Ray. I know it's harder on you, but it can tear a guy up too.

Oh, and loved the last posting and keep up with the comic stuff. :)
