Nothingness story

1 min read

2015: Got a comic of mine published by a small publishing company who accepted to believe in my work

2016: Publishing company moves abroad

Also 2016: The second volume which is was working on is never sent to me to proofread, is published without any announcement even to me, and is basically butchered

2017 to 2019: I’m completely discouraged by this shit and I can’t bring myself to do anything more

January 2019: I finally muster the courage to ask my publisher if I can make a third book, they say yes

January 2019 to April 2019: The contract to publish a third book from the publisher never comes

April 2019: The publisher writes to us to say they gotta stop running the publishing company for legal reasons

2016 to 2019: I didn’t get any money for any book sold, not that much got sold I bet, but then again how would I know, we never got any news

This was the story of how I was and still am a fucking nothing

Stuff I realized about myself

1 min read
1) I've been posting art terribly scarcely here for the past two years and I've been missing a lot of stuff. There's quite a bit of fully colored pieces I haven't posted here still.
2) I've had that increased feeling that no one cares, or that it'll be met with indifference overall. Writing descriptions for the new art I've posted today has made it all the more obvious to me. I don't know what to write as descriptions. I don't know how to make it engaging. I just can't picture how anyone would care.
3) I'm a piece of shit. Oh, wait. I'd already known that one for a while.

Also I'm almost 26. Pathetic. Also I made a Twitter account, so I guess that's a thing. To mention. In a journal entry.

Let's beat this dead horse once again

Hey guys...
...Sorry for the huge hole that was 2016.

I don't have much of a reason. The people here are really kind and I failed to reply to quite a few super-kind comments and I really am grateful for all of them.

I drew a thing or two on Tumblr throughout 2016 that I didn't post here yet, and it's high time I did, so... Yeah, ima do that.

...Can't believe I'm almost 24. Ridiculous.


PS: Oh, I got a job, in case people still wanted to follow my professional situation. XD

WHAT PEOPLE SAY : Change is good :) I know you may not think it is sometimes but it's good and brings about new opportunities :)
WHAT I WISH PEOPLE WOULD SAY MORE SOMETIMES : Change is unavoidable, fucking deal with it

Another note to self

Don't ever stop thinking about how the systems and behaviors of adult life suck and your best years are behind you and it's probably just gonna get worse and worse from here.

Come to think of it I'd rather see you sad than unaware any day. Don't get unaware. Sadness bites but it's still better.
