I was really hoping to bring in the new year with a clean workspace, but I think the picture below tells it all. On the bright side, I'm busy and enjoying the busy-ness! I'm working on a ton of projects simultaneously and don't know how long I will be able to keep juggling them, but for the time being I'm going to ride this enthusiam train to the end of the line. Today I am cleaning off my actual drawing table (which has been buried under a map of Washington D.C. for the last six months at least) to see if I can't move some my work over into the other room and alleviate a little bit of the clutter.


Yesterday I worked on Reconstruction a good deal and am excited to announce that I think I can probably start posting three times a week very soon! I've finally distilled the process into something I can knock out very quickly. The art only suffers mildly for it and I have so much more fun moving through scenes quickly. I've finished drawing the "For Katie" scene that I have been working on and I like the way it wraps up. I'm glad I started with this sort of non-sequitor as a lead-in. It really gave me a chance to experiment with the tools I'd allotted myself and to get the story rolling. If you have been occasionally checking in at WebComics Nation for the updates, you'll notice that it's not very well organized over there, but I'm hoping to work on the "official" website this month and get that up and running at the start of February. Then maybe it will be easier to follow along.

It's a new year, but I'm slow to change my habits. As usual, I'm struggling with the usual pile of nagging doubts about what I am doing with my life and talents (I suspect many of my creative friends and readers go through the annual self-assessment thing around this time of year), but I'm going to just work through it (and I hope all of you do too!). Even if there are projects on my desk that I'm not entirely in love with at the moment, I will probably love them again next week.

I've been so busy that I haven't been posting much, which is a good thing, I guess ~ but I have so many cool books and things I want to share. I hope this week I can start to catch up!


Lastly, I need to post this picture as annual proof that yes, I do have the cutest dog that ever lived. This was taken at my sister's house on Christmas, which is why he's wearing the silly ribbon with the poinsettia on it.

Oh yes, agreed! He's super cute!! That is a great picture! My dog is a handsome boy, but definitely not cute! :-D

And busy is excellent! I don't think I've mentioned this before, but I really like seeing those changing pictures of your desk, with all the various projects. And I'm clearly not using my own workspace the way I could be!

Happy New Year!

Oh my gosh--the dog ...THE DOG!


That's a totally awwwww photo. Seeing how fabulously cute he is reminds me of when you first got him. He's always been cute but now he's robustly shinily healthy and has that ease/peace in his eyes that was missing at the beginning. sigh...I just love looking at him.

I have grandpuppy now! Z, brought his girlfriend and their new puppy to Christmas Eve and Christmas. We adored him (z, and his girlfriend too but I'm talking PUPPY here). He's cute (he's a PUPPY LOL) and so well behaved--no accidents, can sit and shake, and when he got tired he went off to his open travel crate and put himself to bed.

Dogs are such excellent creatures...good job, God!

mooey
