Hello everyone. I hope all is well. I have gotten some messages about the future of Phantom Ops. My response to it is that I don't have much in the way of time to work on the comic anymore. I wanted to finish out the current arc and then take a break but I cannot. I work for a casino. My work schedule is very demanding of my time unfortunately. I need the money. I wish I had more time to do the comic and other art as well. But I work a lot. I wanted to push this art thing to make it my main source of income but that does not seem like that's going to happen right now. I enjoy doing art. In reality, I have to live. I have to keep my bills paid and keep the roof over my head.

The good news is, I'm moving back to Georgia finally after almost 2 years of being away. I want to pursue art and make it my main source of income ultimately. The art community in Atlanta is pretty dope and I have a way into that community. I want to push my art in a new direction because the old way isn't working. So there must be change. For those who've noticed, my rendering style has been changing. That is an example of the a direction I want to go in with my art. I have to diversify to become a better artist.

I appreciate those loyal fans that have followed the comic and showed us so much love. I miss drawing those characters as well. I hate that I am unable to continue with my favorite area of the story. I am honestly all out of ideas at the moment. My best friend and writer on the script suggested that I should update maybe twice a month or even once a month for until we get back to a regular schedule. he just wants to keep the comic alive and going still even though there is not as much time as it used to be for frequent posts. Would that be a good idea?
