Hey guys, I’m really sorry I didn’t finish today’s page on-time. I thought I’d be able to get the time this evening to complete the page (I did the pencils and the inking on Monday, but there’s no way I’d be able to complete the colouring AND the shading AND the lettering without it stretching on to 2AM or longer). I can’t even take my hours owed and start tomorrow, as there’s more crises erupting that, for some reason or another, I seem to be the only one available to fix.
Welp, that’s another birthday come and gone. Remember at the start of last week when I laid out all the plans I had to work on creative projects? Yeah, didn’t get any of that accomplished. As it turns out, when your birthday rolls around, people want to see you. Damn social life!
On the plus side, I am now in possession of a Wii U, which is inordinate amounts of fun. I particularly enjoyed one moment that occurred on Friday, when a pal was attempting a power-swing in Wii-U tennis, and wound up absolutely smacking my chandelier fixture. First time I’ve actually hosted people in my new house, and while I’ll be glad to get back into the normal routine, it was really nice to be sociable for a change!
Hullo everyone, really sorry the comic’s a bit late today! It’s been a manic last few days, filled with catching up with people, meals out, and… Wii U Sports Club golf. I actually fell asleep last night as I was finishing this page, and had to pick it up first thing this morning. Hope I didn’t disappoint you too much!
Anyway, time to go and prepare the house for hosting, and then bustle out to meet my grandparents. It’s all go today, as well!
See you on Monday! Have a great weekend, everyone!
It’s birthday time again, woohoo! Just another day of work to survive, then I’m off for a few days – so far as I’m concerned, a very well earned few days off. What will I be up to over the break I hear you ask? Well, here’s a little list!
– Daytrip up past Loch Lomond for scenery and delicious seafood.
– Dinner with my family (haven’t decided where yet)
– Revising and completing a competition entry short story (with many thanks to Fallible)
– Completing the first draft of another competition entry short
– Finishing off the last two story pages of my comic for submission
– Slaying Black Gravios and advancing to Hunter Rank 6
– Practicing my curry
– Generally hanging out with my pals
Yup, it’s another Late Night(tm)! Thankfully, the weekend is rushing up on me and I’ve got some holiday coming up next week. Some well-deserved holiday I might add… Anyone got any interesting plans for the weekend? I think the highlight of mine is probably finally tackling the rest of my lawn. I… may have left the grass to grow too long, and I can only mow so much before my mower overheats… Yes, there really is nothing like the smell of toasting grass!
Right, better hit the hay – plenty to wrap up at work before I go on holiday, huzzah. Cheerybye for now!
I’ve been REALLY negative over the last few posts (if you hadn’t noticed), so while I try and figure out a way to improve my work situation, I thought I’d inject a little positivity in here!
I bought myself a couple of new bookshelves recently – I love bookshelves, looking at them and how they’re organised can really tell you something about the person who owns them. Here’s how I’ve arranged mine, from top to bottom:
Living Room:
Hallway:
Studio:
What do you guys have on your bookshelves? How have you organised them?
Hey guys, sorry for yet another half-assed post, but as you’ve probably been able to tell I’ve not had the most wonderful last coupe of weeks. I need to get something sorted out so I’m not falling asleep at my desk and waking up at 2 AM.
See you on Monday folks, hopefully at a more sensible time!

So, the new government’s budget was unveiled last week. In short, they’re trying their very best to use a minimum wage rise to cloak a horrific programme of benefit slashing that targets the young, the vulnerable, and those in need of support.
When people voted Tory, did they really think they would get anything other than an all-out assault on the poor and the needy? Did they really think that they would attempt to look after anyone’s interests but the wealthy and the well-connected? Did they really think that they would try and do anything to help the foundation of society, instead of making it more top-heavy?
Argh, I woke up a few minutes ago with my face in the Wacom tablet, and I’d somehow sleep-mashed NezumiPro into doing weird things instead of the normal smoothing I needed to complete the speech bubbles and then I noticed it was almost two o’clock…
The things I do to entertain you lot 😛 Well, goodnight! Let’s hope I actually make it to work on time in the morning…

Have you ever wondered if you’ve screwed up your career path? Like, say for example you were working somewhere that you loved initially, and then circumstances changed, and the job got so unsatisfying that you had to find a new job. And the new job sounded like a really good deal, a chance to exercise your skills, to help your new company find success in a new arena, to sharpen your business mindset. And the job was really good to begin with, and you had amazing colleagues with some really interesting work. But then you found yourself doing less and less of the tasks you were interested in, and more and more of the things you had hoped to leave behind in your old job. You couldn’t step back. You couldn’t take stock. You started getting worried. You started getting nervous. You stopped loving work and started fearing going in, because you felt that every victory was met with five more crises that you had no control over. So you start looking for jobs again. But everything you see advertised you play over and over in your head, reading up on the companies and realising that they’ll be just as corporate and restrictive as any of the roles you’ve worked before. You realise that you’re not suited for working in an office, in a corporation, in the modern world. You begin to worry that you’ll never be able to move on, either by lack of opportunity or fear of letting your colleagues down.
