State of the Artist, June 2015.
10 years ago
So, the good news is I'm finished with LOG:02 of "The Sprawl". It is completely, entirely done. Also, I added a couple of pages to LOG:01 to smooth out the story and address a couple of issues several readers pointed out to me. I think the new pages really do make it a better read. You can check them out over at the official site.
(Just to clarify, I'm done making pages for LOG:02, but that doesn't mean they're all posted yet. You'll know when LOG:02 is over when you see a LOG:03 title page.)
Right now I'm fleshing out the LOG:03 outline and working on some concept art for the chapter. Character and environment designs, nothing too major but I'll be sharing some of that over on my Patreon in the near future. It's slow going because lately the only time I have for "The Sprawl" is during my commute to and from my day job.
Speaking of Patreon, my day job, etcetera, this summer I am going to be moving in an attempt to reduce my living expenses. Rent and insurance have both gone up in the past year and none of my plans for additional work hours have panned out like I'd hoped. Meanwhile, my day job schedule is such that I working separate jobs is exceptionally difficult. I can no longer afford my own place.
With my living expenses reduced, and a big payment expected from one of the additional jobs I've worked over the past month, I am expecting I should be able to forego working over the summer and instead focus more on art. This does not mean much for "The Sprawl" but I will be putting my usual work time towards commissions and a second, paid, comic I have been attempting to get going for some time. If that works out, I hope to continue with that through the fall instead of returning to my day job.
That said, if you are enjoying "The Sprawl" and would like both to see more pages released faster, and you'd like to see me continue the story past the currently planned arc, please consider supporting me through Patreon. The current arc is going to be about 3-4 more chapters and total out at about 400 pages, but will itself only be the first part of a much larger story I have brewing.

Patreon supporters get each month's pages delivered at the start of each month, rather than waiting for the weekly page updates, and are also privy to concept art. bonus art, page previews, etcetera. All of which I hope to do more of as my day job comes to an end for the summer.
And the big thing, whether or not you're able to support me through Patreon, if you're enjoying the comic please +watch this account and follow me on Twitter, Picarto and Tumblr (links below!).
