I'm not drawing anymore.

At least, not for now. I've been really stressed out and depressed about my drawings and style and lately, so I've just dropped it all for now. Forcing myself to draw during this time will only result in work I'm not satisfied with. I don't want to subject everyone to crappier-than-usual drawings. With the holidays and moving to the opposite side of the country in my near future, I have even less time and less of a desire for drawing than ever.

I'll let you know when the hiatus is over.

Just got back from exploring California. I stayed there for quite some time after going to SDCC where I met so many AWESOME PEOPLE HOLY CRAP.

Um, yeah. I attended the con in style with , , and . IT WAS AMAZING. I didn't hand out business cards or make it in time for a portfolio review, unfortunately. But I did collect some shiny goodies and signatures from the awesome awesome artists I was able to meet! While there, I spotted/talked to these amazing folks:
, Kazu Kibuishi, David Peterson, Pete de Seve, Phil Mendez, Derek Thompson, Kean Soo, and Adam friggen' West, ya'll.

It was the most awesome trip. Ever. And it really made me wish that I had a booth and a table there and that people actually knew who I was. XD
