It's been over a year since my last entry here. A lot of things have gone on.

3 months ago I quit my full time job. The pay was decent, there were benefits, I enjoyed working with most of the staff, and it was secure. But with all those things, I still loathed going to work. There's an odd type of stress when managing other employees (good, or bad). There's also a greater stress when supervisors micro manage your way of working. 


So, I said "fuck it". 


I've been freelancing since. 


I love it. I'm not stressed. There's no one telling me how to do my job. I can just draw. Even with the inconsistent cash flow, I wouldn't change a thing. 

Ive expanded my presence on different forms of social media. Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter. I post a lot of process work and sketches there that I don't post here. So please check those out if you frequent those sites. 

Im making some good progress on "the diver" thanks to my buddy Andrew MacLean. I go to his studio once a week and work on diver pages while he works on his own projects. I'm coloring a book that Andrew is drawing for a company called "lionforge". I also have a story in Sean Murphy's "cafe racer", that is now available (I have copies for sale for those who are interested). And lastly, my friend Chris Irvin and I are working on a pitch to submit to some publishers. It's a fun story, and he already has 3 issues written (out of 4). If picked up, I'll be doing the art for all 4 issues. 

Here are the links of where I can be found:



Thanks for reading. Now to get back to commissions and pages.

Good on you for chasing the dream. Trying to do the same myself and the financial side can be stressful, but it's a small price to pay for such a job. :la:
