An Update and a Rant

The pencils for issue twenty-one are finished, and the inking will be done by one a.m. the latest on Friday morning.  I'm working a closing shift tomorrow (again!), and my roommate is having family spend the night, so it will be hard to find a private space to draw.

It's frustrating because I work my best at night between seven p.m. and midnight, but my job is sapping away that time.  I work more hours now at part time than I ever did as a full timer, and I specifically went back to part time because I wanted to spend more time with the comic.  

I don't hate my job, but it's just not a priority anymore.  My boss told me his passions are his family and his job.  While I respect that, I don't agree with it.  I'm in a place right now where my art has to come first.  I need to create!  I need to express myself to the world!  Also, I want my art to become my job someday.  I don't want to be tied down to anything.  Not a family, not a job, not anything.  It's funny, actually... while most people my age are married and ready to start having kids (or have already started), I relish in being single.  I don't always want to be alone, but my life is already so complicated with everything that's happened to me this year, that I don't want to add any more to my plate.  

(whew) that was pretty long-winded, I must say.  Anyhoo, the comic will be ready for Friday, and I'm looking forward to a relaxing weekend, full of pizza and PS3 :P

Later Days!
