Well I have basically accepted that for the next two to three months, life is going to be very busy and me very tired. Sure I could pace myself and just nibble away here and there, but DARN IT! I am THIS CLOSE! (making a motion with my hands). I spend my nights from about

Just having some fun after working on Adamsville pages. Been wanting to work on how I draw women’s faces. Will be a big area of focus along with general figure drawing when I wrap up bk 1.
This week marked an important milestone in production on Adamsville. I passed the actual haflway point on the book. I sort of took some time to reminisce on this moment. I jokingly posted on Twitter that I was a bit teary eyed. It sounds corny, but it was true. A lot has come and gone
