Busy First Dayjob Week

Hey all. I started the new dayjob (well, NIGHT job... cause its overnight at a gas station). Its very very easy and laid back. Non-stressful and very quiet. There are aspects I don't like about the gig but nothing I cannot catagorize and deal with on my own. Its a welcome change, in fact. While it does torture me a bit as far as daily lack of sleep and juggling schedules, it does have its own benefits. Last night I was off and I decided to stay up a bit and use what would have been a work shift and work late into the night on a new card set I am on. It feels kind of good to be awake enough to work late into the night like I used to. I value my quiet time in order to accomplish work.

And the last couple weeks, accomplish work I have! I finished the art on STARSLAM, and I just have to color it. Today I gotta shrink and scan the art. But first I gotta push this new card set out the door. Then I will finish the porn store book and the other short stories book. Finding a publisher should be somewhere in the mix, but I am not concerning myself with anything that isn't immediate. Instead, still focusing on keeping myself right. Creatively, mentally and physically. I have good and bad days, but it seems to be on the upward drift.

Today a client I did a bunch of sketch covers for got them back from the CGC. Here's a look at one of the final products:

Meanwhile, the wife has got some EXCELLENT news. I cannot share it too much yet, but rest assured it is a welcome change and we are excited about the potential. If it works out the way it likely should, all our problems and future issues will all fall in line perfectly. Sorry to be cryptic, but its just too early right now to drop trow and reveal all. Soon... soon. Still, hard to contain our excitement! Just feels good to have some positive stuff happen now after 7 months of bad luck.

I guess thats it for now. I'm keeping shit together and I'm still breathing. Thats the important thing, isn't it?

Cheers, T
