A little info on recent events.
12 years ago
Yeah, I just need to talk a bit about stuff that's been happening lately, which should at least partly explain why I haven't been online much as well as not been submitting anything worthwhile.
I don't know if I said anything about this yet, but I'm in the middle of preparing a long-term project with a friend. To be precise, this project is to open a comic shop. But we need more info on how to proceed and all. So far we at least went to see a local employment agency for info, and we got quite a bit of it. First, we need money. Lots of it, more than I had imagined (we would need to borrow at LEAST 100k from a bank each to start with.). It's still pretty much in its infant stages, and the shop is likely to be open only in a year from now, if we're lucky. We also are likely to have to take a professional course in entrepreneurship (which is at least 100 hours) so that we know what we're doing. What I'm getting at here is that all this is making me have to go see my friend in person often and attend meetings and appointments all over, leaving me little time for drawing or even getting on the net sometimes.
Speaking of money and work, another reason I have little time for art is that I'm actively looking for a job, even though I never had a job in my life before. I tried getting one in nearby restaurants and such about 3-4 years ago, but with no success. Maybe now I'll get something but I'm not getting my hopes too high either. I want a job cause welfare doesn't cut it anymore. I get about 900$ a month, but half of that goes to my rent, and half of what's left for groceries. So I have about 250$ left each month for bills (just saying, one of them went up to 180$)... so you can understand that I want more to be able to live a little and not always be stuck inside or run out of food at the end of the month.
It's not that the desire to draw and such is not there, it's that I have very little time nowadays. Heck really if I could I would be drawing everyday and night, but yeah I have little free time and sometimes even no energy to put into this... That and there's a few people waiting for things they asked for, but that I always have to put aside...
So yeah... if you don't see me around much, don't worry, I'll do my best to keep everything updated and once I get a scanner and/or get the hang of my tablet I'll put stuff up more regularly as well as attempt to draw more. I have no guarantees on the latter though...
Well I'm outta here.
See you next job.
