So I have actually gone and gotten a separate website for my comics. weirdshorts.thecomicseries.com
I'm going to try and update it on a semi-regular schedule, tentatively M-W-F. And I'll try to alternate with putting up already made comics with new ones (as my school schedule permits).
I will still be posting things here, but I eventually hope to split my works and have the random comics on the Weird Shorts page and more serious works (and more "arty" works here).
Please check out the new site and feel free to leave comments.
Peace & Love

Last year was an intense year for so many and we lost several bright lights to suicide. I've faced that darkness and I know how it feels when you think there is no hope at all. But please know that it is never too late, things can always change. Even if you feel trapped there can always be change, don't give up before you've ever even really lived. High school is not your whole life, just a tiny horrible portion, it will end eventually and you can go on. You don't have to do everything when you're young-- you can go back to school when you're older, you can still transition when you're older, being older is no barrier to doing what you want with your life (if anything you get more options the older you are to do exactly what you please, I know a woman over 50 who dyes her hair purple and I am designing a tattoo to commemorate her beating cancer)
We are just leaving the darkest time of the year but it can be hard to see that things are getting slowly brighter a little bit at a time. The new year can be a time of new beginnings or even a fresh start on something you've always meant to work more on. I'm going to work more on my comics, both the more spontaneous Weird Shorts and some of the longer story ones. I've been writing ideas down like crazy, they've been coming in a great flood all of the sudden so I am trying to storyboard out all of my ideas before they evaporate.
I'm going to try harder to be both more spontaneous and more dedicated to actually seeing things through this year.
I'm going to actually put up my own website (but I'll continue to post stuff here).
I'm going to stop being so shy and actually go talk to people even if it scares me.
I'm going to be more mindful.
Peace out
ps- if anyone reading this is ever feeling that low please email or message me, I'm a good listener<3

Ok, so I'm terrible at this whole "journal" thing. I haven't updated or even done the things I said I was going to do in the previous journal. I'm starting my third year in school and I didn't do over the summer the things I thought I would do. I keep stopping myself short and I don't even know why, what am I afraid of? Why can't I just take the things I'm thinking of and just do them?
I'm not going to wait til New Year to make resolutions, I'm going to make them now (and maybe by this January I'll have at least made a start on some of them).
So resolution one is that I'm going to post something here once a week no matter what. That might mean just sketches but hey that would be better than nothing right? And I am doing so much digital stuff lately that even sketches would be nice, but I will try my best to make it good colored art.
Resolution two is to pick a comic and fucking do some pages! If anyone is still checking my stuff what would you like to see me work on? It's Complicated? Beauty and the Dragon? Nimrod's Story? (I actually did a few pages of that one, and I have been dreaming about dragons lately) Maybe I'll just try and get back into the habit of doing Weird Shorts, they were sort of catch-all/mock-all Larsonesque things that don't have to worry about continuity or silly things like that.
