If I haven't been around much, it's because I've been playing hooky from work and life in general…
I just sneaked back from vacation. I went to hang out in the woods with my parents and the coyotes for a couple of weeks. The coyotes woke us up nearly every night with big group yip-howls. Apparently their territory is right behind our house now… Which is fine if they behave and help keep the chipmunks and squirrels out of the garden, but could they maybe tone down the yipping after 2:00am?
Then there were the medical practitioners. I saw too many of them. My "vacation" included one trip to the eye doctor, two trips to the regular doctor (including shots - eep!) and three - count 'em, three - trips to the dentist. NOT FUN. This is what happens if you don't get enough food, sleep, and exercise, boys and girls… I guess the past couple of years have been pretty messed up. I guess I'll have to behave better. Phooey. And maaaaybe I shouldn't put off flossing when I have deadlines…
It was a pretty mellow vacation otherwise. Mostly I hung out on the patio being lazy, pottered around in Mom's garden, or cavorted in the lake. It was hot, so swimming and eating ice cream and watermelons was all any of us really wanted to do. (Speaking of ice cream… Crepes with berries and ice cream inside and chocolate drizzle on top. SO. GOOD.) Some sketching got done, most of it will end up on my blog and/or Tumblr (when I get around to scanning it.)
Anyway… Back to work now! Time to roll up my sleeves and get that webcomic up and running!
But oh man, it's gonna take me forever to get through all my various inboxes...

Annual Announcement that I Ain't Dead Yet
So apparently I update this journal once a year. -_-
ANYWAY. I just realized I’ve been sort of basically absent from DA for… a month? Two months?? There was a lot of real life stuff going on, and it got awfully distracting for a while and I just kind of… forgot to check in. ^^;
So yes, stuff has been happening! Some annoying stuff! But mostly good stuff! Among the annoying things was of course my old computer going kablooie… Two months later and I’m still hunting up old files, reinstalling and reconfiguring applications, trying to rebuild my old bookmarks, and fun stuff like that. So, yay.
Among the good thi
DERP.
DERP. Derpity derp-derp. Looks like I vanished from DA for a bit, there… Things got reeeeeally hectic in December. Mostly work deadlines ("We want it before Christmas!") and then the usual running around seeing family for the holidays, of course. I'm having trouble being productive on anything right now because of Family Getting in the Way and wandering around looking over my shoulder every ten minutes to say "Watcha doin'?" and sticking their noses right in my screen to get a closer look… (I've already had to hide this journal several times as I'm typing, haha.)
There's a whole bunch of stuff I meant to post - I shall post it!
Ain't Dead Yet...
Just really discombobulated. Yeah, I seem to have been neglecting my DA for the past few weeks. This always happens when I have deadlines, and right now I've got 'em really bad. Two major projects due at around exactly the same time, so I have clients yelling at me left and right and life is becoming perpetually frantic. I think things should settle down to relatively normal around the beginning of July or so...
AND on top of deadlines this past week I've been off playing at the Pixar Master Class. :D
Which was totally awesome. :D
We had the top knobs from the Animation, Story, and Art departments at Pixar giving us a giant info dump for th
People You Should Commission, Because I Said So
Man, old journal is old, I keep meaning to update it but I never have much to say except that I'm working all kinds of crazy deadlines as usual (what else is new, it's ALWAYS like this towards the end of the year...)
So I guess I'll use this space to pimp some fine folks who are currently offering commissions - because, why not? You should check all these people out!

Sounds like a good vacation! And ouch, those visits to the dentist sound painful. I need to visit mine, I haven't done it in a while.
And can't wait for the webcomic and the sketches!
