because ...

I found my dad.

Well ... I found my dad's family. See, for those who didn't know, I never met my dad, and it's driven me crazy my whole life that I haven't known him.

So, on November 29, after some SERIOUS internet detective work, I got a phone call from my dad's sister - an aunt I never knew existed - and we cross-checked facts, she checked out the photo of my dad that I'd emailed her, and she cried. Because he got hit by a drunk driver and died in 1994.

So, my dad's dead, and so's one of my half brothers - he died in March, so I JUST missed out on him and I'm kind of beating myself up about that - but I have a ridiculous number of aunts and uncles and cousins, and a 15 year old half brother who's VERY happy I exist.

I'm currently being bombarded by facebook messages and phone calls from all these relatives that are incredibly happy I exist - everyone loved my dad, and apparently I look a lot like him so it's like they got a little of him back, I guess - and my brain is totally consumed by attempting to assimilate this new information, that I actually have a really huge, really awesome family.

Needless to say NOTHING ELSE IS GETTING DONE.

I can't WAIT until this feels normal. Believe me, this is the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me, but it's really wearing me out!

dudes. I'm gonna do it.

Again.

As in ... a webcomic.

Hahahaha oh good lord.

I have quite a bit of planning and scripting done and tomorrow I get an oil delivery so MY HANDS WON'T BE FREEZING AND I CAN DRAW IT but for now you can go to:

[link]

Just to give you a TINY HINT of what it could be, it involves the following key elements:

-Whiskey
-Vampires
-Golems
-Jive talk
-Strippers
-Mixed Martial Arts
-Peril
-Bromance
-The Angel of the Bottomless Pit

Enjoy your wait while I unfreezify my hands long enough to begin the process of drawing this insanity.

Don't expect anything serious out of me ever again folks, I refuse.

Hey you guys! I GOT A HOUSE.

It's a slightly weird house - most of the downstairs is technically one big room, with builtin half-height bookshelves for room dividers - which is incredibly useful, but weird as hell. What matters though is that it's much bigger than where I am now, and there's an office and a room that's perfect for Yoga and Tai Chi.

What Im saying is this may increase my productivity once I'm all moved in on the first. And I'll probably be posting pictures once I start redecorating. XD

YAY HOUSE! I HAS ONE!

I'm not dead.

I probably won't be posting a lot for a while, even less than usual, because of two reasons:

1. I'm going back to school - for creative writing. I'm building a massive fantasy universe in which to write insane stories about man-eating raccoons who collect teeth, corrupt theocratic governments, hypnoctopi, and probably the devil.

2. I struck up a deal with a local tattoo artist to draw him custom flash and designs for clients that he can't handle himself, in exchange for some ink I've been wanting to get done, and people just LOVE to steal my tattoo designs and put them on their own bodies without permission (and I hope the asses who have ever done that, whether I'm aware of them or not, all contract hepatitis and die - yes I am aware of how inappropriate that remark is but tattoo theft is the lowest form of art theft in my opinion) so I won't be posting any of my tattoo art here. I'm getting my first tat from the guy today and I'll post a photo, but no drawings.

3. If and when I do post something new I have plans to do a short series of pieces based on Twin Peaks - There will indeed be pretty art nouveau pieces of Cheerleader Nadine, Audrey, Laura Palmer, and maaaaaaybe something exciting involving Cooper and the little man from another place, but really I feel like drawing the girls. That'll take me some time, obviously, but when it happens, it'll rock.


So yeah, wish me luck, and sorry there isn't any art to be had for a while.

My site, Mayapple Town, is back up!

It's nowhere near complete but eventuall there will be an art gallery there. There's a blog that's of interest though, if you want to read a very unique blog. The blog is about my daily life as a 24/7 submissive, but it's nothing like other public submissive diaries, so you should check it out for the novelty of it.
