Life and work have been busy recently, and as a result I've been rather unfocused and all over the place. I'm still working away on commissions that I took last year, and still not having them done is depressing.

It doesn't help that my creativity levels remain pretty low, and I'm trying to figure out how to properly get back into the swing of things and get my creative energy flowing again.

While I'm here, I also want to say thank you to all who faved and commented on my 'Master Jack's Hypno-slave Store' pics and last month, and say that I'm sorry I don't have time to reply to them.

Also, I want to say thank you for all those who took the time to nominate Furry Guardians in this year's Ursa Major Awards, but unfortunately, it's not among the final nominees. But there is some solace in the fact that NO furry comic books seem to have been nominated this year, due to comic books being lumped together with webcomics in a 'Best Graphic Story' category. And the finalists in that category are all webcomics.

Which is no surprise, really. By being free, webcomics naturally have a larger audience (and therefore more people to nominate them) than paid for comic books are ever likely to get. Frankly, to me, it seems a little unfair to expect comic books to compete with webcomics, but hey, that's just my opinion.
