I haven't been posting new work, new comic pages, no news and generally just disappeared for a bit.

Here's the reason; last month I got laid off from my job. It was sudden so it obviously came quite a surprise. Now I'm sure some of you are thinking, if I'm not working anymore, how come there's still no comics and drawings? Or why haven't I opened up for commissions?

Lots of things happened soon after I was discharged. My home office (laptop,iPod,scanner & tablet) had to all be replaced for interlocking reasons. Soon as that was taken care of, I had to update my portfolio and hunt for a new job, anyone who's been in my shoes know that looking for a job is a job in itself.

While doing this I decided to review my professional life. I've been freelancing for years and entered into a steady office life for the last couple doing art in the gaming industry. Professionally the past year was the best I ever felt; steady income, insurance, a wonderful office family. Yes I'm working on finding a new art job but at the same time, I kinda feel that after all this, I feel worn. I try to be creative and draw all day at work and once I get home, it's hard to do more of it when drained. I feel that I'm getting tired of it.

I spoke with my family about it and there was always that thing I've said that was back up plan. I have two passions, art and baking. I have said that if the art route somehow doesn't feel it's working out, I'll open a bakeshop. I'm still researching but my folks said if the amount of capital needed won't put me into financial a hole if in the event it fails, go for it and at least say that I tried. So yeah, I'm job hunting AND looking into starting a business. That's a lot to do.

So does this mean I'm quitting art all together? oh Hell NO! I love art and I love making people happy with my work. Trust me, this new business will be me doing my own graphics. I'll always find a way to incorporate my 2 passions. I would love and appreciate the support in this scary new venture of mine.

If you like support, check out and or follow me on this adventure, you can follow me on twitter @ jodis_goodies and Facebook @ jodisgoodies.

And oh yeah, I haven't forgotten House of LSD and I do miss drawing. While I play the waiting game on jobs and break from researching, I'll be forcing myself to get back to drawing comics and do personal art again. I'm going to try a 30-day drawing challenge that's being passed around to kick start things.
