Hey all.  Once again, I'm sorry for pretty much disappearing again, especially after vowing to do comics everyday again a couple weeks ago, but there's been a bunch of stuff going on that's made drawing rather difficult for me recently.

I hate to keep using work as an excuse, but I've pretty much consistently been working 50+ hour weeks and I simply have not as much time as I would like to draw.  And unfortunately, when I am able to find the time, I've been having great difficulty actually doing it, as it seems I've managed to work myself into a bit of an art-block.  It's been years since I've felt this directionless with my art, and it's quite frustrating.  I have a lot of ideas, but things just don't seem to be coming out right and even when they do I'm just not happy with the result (as little sense as that actually makes).  I'm still drawing whenever I can and trying to push through it, but so far I'm still having trouble actually finishing anything.

But anyway, I would like to stress that this isn't a cry for attention or anything like that; I just wanted to offer an explanation as to where I've been the past couple of weeks, and where I may be for the next couple weeks as well.  As annoying as it is right now, I'm confident I'll eventually bust out of this creative-funk and my art will be better for it!  As always, thanks so much for reading and bearing with my nonsense.  I will return soon.  AND WITH A VENGEANCE :D

Hey man, thanks for checking in!
Sorry I've been MIA for so long; things got pretty crazy during the course of September, but besides a patch of sickness (just a cold, nothing major) I went through, I've been fine.

I'm gonna start posting on the regular again though, because I'm just not as happy when I don't. Maybe that's kinda weird of me to say, but it is absolutely true XD

Again, thanks a lot for checking up on me and stuff. It really means a lot :)
