State of the Dragon: 2025
8 months ago
The holidays are finally settling down and I'll be getting back to a regular work schedule tomorrow, but I did want to at least let folks know that I am doing well and enjoying things. I'm trying to improve my macro art production in earnest now that I've got the majority of my life sorted out for the forseeable future. I've been working in screenprinting for almost 2 years now, and have become an important member of the team, so I feel comfortable and well set for this year.
I want to help more folks get to where I am though, and do hope that with the uncertain future of four more years of chaos and dysfunctional hate/bigotry/ignorance being shoved down our throats by the rich and powerful, I will be able to do something helpful with growth drives and at least give people a bit of a respite with my art.
I would like to spend more time on Boomer Express as always. Finding time to keep a comic strip going is still difficult with full time work.
I am beginning to chew down the considerable Emerald Scale debt I still have, and will be trying to do more commission related macro art in the near future.
I would like to do more streaming, but time is a premium now and I still value my introverted thoughts more often than not, and don't feel I would be as an engaging streamer as folks might expect. I've been hanging out with close friends on Discord more often to work myself up to this goal.
I want to get March's 10pg comic completed. It's been something I've been struggling to want to do for a couple years now and I just... need to do it. ADHD fears and reservations are a difficult glass wall to work around without breaking something or myself.
I want to be here for conversation and to spark my own inspiration. I would like to do more animation commissions for headshot icons or stomps or small things. There's a lot I want to do in 2025 and beyond.
I appreciate everyone being here and supporting me as I flail my way through life. Juggling family, work, friends, and leisure has been incredibly challenging for me but I'm still here and I'm still going. Let's keep going together!

I have no idea how many times I was depressed like hell and ready to give up on life until seeing some of your pieces motivate me to keep on living and keep on going.
You sir are an absolute inspiration towards us all. And I wish you nothing but good tidings and luck hour way in 2025.
May your creativity always be ever flowing
best of luck for this year!
