My Bio
It started with what was supposed to be a weekly comic journal. My resolution for the new year was to finish an entry every week. Well, for some reason I keep doing other stuff instead, like taking care of the baby (who is no longer a baby). I mean what's up with that?

I know that it was not the best that's out there, not the best on DeviantArt (by a long shot), not as good as, say, Dar Comic, and wasn't not the best I'll ever do either. What it was, though, wa THE FIRST AND ONLY pieces I had ever finished. The same time the previous year, there was not one single piece of artwork, regardless of quality, that I had ever finished. Nothing I could do would be good enough to show people, as good as what was out there, on and on, blah blah blah, excuses.

A few things happened, more or less in this order.
One, I decided that wasn't important. What was important was that I actually finished something for once in my life, even if it was just a beginner work.
I realized it wasn't going to BE great, and that it didn't have to be. Just sit down and DRAW SOMETHING ALREADY.
Then, I looked around on the internet, and I realized that there is a LOT of artwork out there that's much, so much worse. And there are still people who love it.

So here is what I have so far. Look at it, egg me on to keep doing it and improving, and if you think you know how I can do it better, tell me damnit!

Hoo boy.  Entirely too long since I've logged in to DeviantArt. Entirely too long since I've finished a drawing. Gotta turn it around... I need to be nagged, heckled, and pressed! Start... NOW! :)

Hi there!  Time for a little demographic study. I just want to find out if anyone iscoming to my deviantArt page, and if so, who. So, do this one thing for me: If you are reading this, just comment to say hey.  You don't need to have something to say; I don't care if you leave a one-character-long comment!  Doesn't matter when - if you're reading this the day I post it or in the year 2015 - if you read this post, just leave a quick comment! Kay?

Hey I really like your comics, they look great! I'm trying to start writing comics, but I also have issues with time (I'm at university currently). Anyways, cool stuff! =]
I have issues with time!
I HAVE A ONE-YEAR-OLD! This comic journal thing was originally supposed to be weekly!
:sigh:
Thanks, too!
