2010 was not unkind to me. It was not particularly fabulous either.
I wanted to wait longer to update this, but I'll be busy all day/night today so I wanted to wish you all a pleasant evening, however you spend it. And be safe!
Sidenote: I'm running a tiny eentsy-weentsy mini contest on facebook right now until January 7th. It was spur of the moment. Since I have 69 fans over there, the idea is to create the sexiest image with GF characters. Winner gets...something. Money or a poster or whatever.

If you follow me on dA, you know who this fuckbucket is. If not, you will. ;)

Winter Break Time
This page marks the end of the Issue 13 (obviously) and the beginning of my winter break. I may have originally said that I was coming back January 1st, but I believe I will return in January when I am willing and able. I will hit a lot of ups and downs along the way, usually once a month (GUESS WHEN) and things are not easy to control. Not as easy as I would like them, at least.
During this break I will be doing a lot of things. Art for people, redoing issue 14 for the 6th or 7th time, going to parties, just trying to relax for the holidays. I've knocked out a lot of the stress by getting my family to agree that we won't be exchanging presents this year because we're all old and broke (except me).
I may be dyeing my hair black for the hell of it, too. We'll see.
See you in 2011! I love you guys!

UStream!
Ever wanted to see how GO FISH was created? I'll be doing some UStreaming for new pages!
You can either go to the channel site: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/snap-and-a-half
And wait until I show up
OR
If you watch GO FISH on facebook you'll be able to get the notices there.
I don't use Twitter so facebook is the best bet.
Hope to see you!
Note: There is also a chatbox if you'd like to ask questions or make comments. I will also use the UStream to work on images. Should be fun!

Oooo...
Dedicated to BayouPoemSpinner from dA who has been a long-term reader and valued supporter! I'm always happy to see her comments on the pieces I post there. I hope this page is a satisfactory offering of my thanks.
Today's Page:
I seriously had some trouble finishing this one.
I believe I am running out of steam. At the risk of sounding like a stalker, freakshow and loser, working my hardest to impress EK Weaver, the creator of TJ and Amal, was my one driving force for a while there. It sounds pretty retarded, right? SHE DOESN'T EVEN READ THIS COMIC.
It's also getting harder and harder to put up with being single, but you don't want to hear about that shit. You came here to read a comic.

Aaaaay
Hiya!
This update is for Christina Hopkins. I hand-picked this page especially for you because it is my favorite scene in this issue between Alex and Tlaloc. You have been a valuable reader, fan and friend and I wish our late night conversations did not have to end at 3am. You rock. Please don't stop inspiring me.
TODAY'S PAGE
No, Alex, you did not say that right.
Do you think Tlaloc wants babies?

Hiya!
If you're just popping over because you picked up a card from the NYCC well...then...HELLO! Thanks for picking up my card!
Feel free to start from the beginning. Updates are random, any reader could tell you that, but you can always follow me on facebook or deviantART to find out when pages are coming out! I'm also working on getting a lot of the older pages redone to make the frame of GF really solid. Why? Go back a few blog entries and you'll see.
Thanks for visiting!
And if you're a current reader: Yeah, no new page yet. I am dead tired from the Con. No more plans until 2012, plz.

Up to Date
If you were wondering where I am, what I'm doing and what's going on, well here is your answer:
As I've posted in a few places, I am currently re-writing GO FISH and BLOOD. GF is a bit more difficult to re-write, as it is over 400 pages long and about as simple as an Escher painting (not to say it's good, just difficult...). BLOOD is not so bad, because it has just begun, but it's another project.
I've also been trying to prepare myself for the New York Comic Con, which is this weekend, and I'm about as ready for it as...something that...isn't...ready for things. See? I can't even be creative anymore!
I have business cards I plan on handing out and I am going to schmooze with artists and famous people, hopefully. Mostly I just want to meet DJY1991 and the author behind TJ and Amal. And buy a ton of comics. COMICS.
The sad thing is that I forgot to revamp and buff up this website before the con. That means anyone who actually DOES check out the site might be completely turned off, foiling my plans of fame and world domination. NOOOO! Aw well. Best to get them used to my lackluster update schedule, right?
Hope to see you there!

Blargh
Sorry it took so long, Mary-Annie. Here is your page! Thank you for reading GO FISH and asking for a dedication!
Today's Page:
Light was so hard to work with here. It's a dark room, but the page is dark and dark dark dark DARK! So just pretend there is a light source and move on, awright? Also, Tlaloc's eyes glow.
IMPORTANT
I'm taking a short break to figure out the future of GF. I know I've said I was going to do it before, but I really haven't. I just planned out more of the same. This is more a technical future-planning thing. I'm writing out GF in its entirety with some revisions.
Speaking of revisions, after a brief but insightful conversation with someone on deviantART, I've decided that portions of GF that seriously piss me off are going to be redone. This could mean a page, a scene or an entire chapter. This is going to be a long, labor-intensive project that I can and will not put a date on. I feel as though it will save me the fear of hating my comic as well as take care of potholes I've left in the story.
When new pages/scenes/chapters are uploaded, I will notify you here and on facebook, if you follow me there, and you may go re-read that part. Otherwise, you may get lost or wonder why suddenly something hasn't happened (yes, GF is THAT bad...).
Oh God what have I done...

FIVE. YEARS.
If this comic was a child, I'd be sending it off to school and hoping that it was going to grow up to be a good person. Not famous or important, but happy with its life and decent to others.
Of course, being the third child, GO FISH is going to be a spoiled brat.
Five years, guys. That's insane. I never planned for GF to make it past issue 2. But I'm currently plugging away at issue 13 and painfully agonizing over issue 14 and already thinking of issue 15. CRAZY.
There have been a lot of ups and downs...mostly downs. GO FISH was started because I was pissed off by the reaction people had towards my failed comic PET. It failed because of my own idiocy and ego-stroking. I had too many characters with too much background that was never explained. I thought "fine, I'll make a comic with as few characters as possible and no background" and dropped a couple humanoids onto some lined paper. Roger was originally blond and his first name was WAY too embarrassing to reveal before I am famous and dead. Baxter has remained the same, but I was going to give that stupid feather on his hat some symbolism, but y'know, fuck it.
And it was a hit.
I showed it at Johnson State College, the Visual Arts Center, the tiny double-wide-sized gallery/studio/classroom and asked for feedback on this very day five years ago (Jesus, I am old). The response was great and I was shocked. I was a little afraid, too. Now I had to make a story. Immediately I worked out the end and set out to meet it.
But things happened. My friends and people and influences and education happened. Plot holes had to be filled with as much shit as I could find in my head. Roger mentioned a guy named Alex = BAM, his ONLY friend in the whole universe, Alex, is born. Originally meant to be straight and kind of a "dude, no way, dude" sort of guy, Alex was given the last name Sleeper (the Vermont state police commissioner at the time with an awesome last name) and was never gay in my mind until I accidentally started pouring feminism into him to pull it off Roger (you can actually pinpoint the moment he turns gay if you pay attention).
I made up my own gods for a while, but Art History proved too much for me and I was introduced, via Professor Mary Martin, to Tlaloc. A sad rain god who had had his wife stolen from him and sat around drinking rain and moping with lepers. A few character models later and Tlaloc was in GF, ready to steal the show. Now Alex was really gay = my Gary Stu. Fuck.
And so it went. I started with two characters, no background, little story and today I have (I have to count, hold on...) eight characters and COUNTING (there are a couple more additions...sorry). This is like a bad anime now (except worse). They all have their own problems and backgrounds; some I plan on visiting and others I do not.
I think GF will be coming to a close within a few issues. I am becoming afraid of my comic, my characters, this story, and I think the sooner I end it the sooner I can take what I've learned from this project and apply it to others. I'll be sad to see it go. It's been a ton of fun. Luckily, after graduation my updates have had a hell of a rocky schedule (from every day to three times a week to weekends to not at all to once a week, etc...) and it will probably extend GF's life into the next millennium. Hopefully by this time my art will look better and my storytelling abilities will have improved.
But there's one thing I find odd. After FIVE YEARS, only one person has ever asked:
"What is Roger's last name?"
Maybe we'll find out some day.
I love you, appreciate you and respect you, the reader, for being so patient and staying by my side. I draw because I love it, but I update and share my work because I love you. GAY!
SEE YOU IN FIVE YEARS!<3

Baila!
Hey I got some awesome birthday art from XxSweetNightmaresxX on deviantART! Thanks!
I'm still not sure why Baxter is the singer or why Tezcatlipoca is there, but hey, Alex has his maracas and couldn't be happier, right?!
GF's birthday is Sunday! Yee! And the CAKE concert!

Update!
For AceMaxim, Max Ace Spades, Spadey-Maxi...Spade...Err...
Thanks for keeping me company online at night. Despite the fact that some of the messages you send me would probably confuse the hell out of my roommate should she use my computer and see it, I enjoy or brief and pointless conversations. Heart.
Today's Page:
FUN FACT: Gods call one another "Lord" if they feel inferior to them. Tlaloc knows Baxter can waste him. Also, you'll recall Baxter doing the same to Rakahan who would've taken out Baxter had it not been for the "intervention".
Awww you thought Baxter was going to rip into him, didn't you? So much for cliffhangers.
The shading style on this page is lazy and quick, but it was fun and it got finished so you know...shut up and stuff.
I am in love with the Scott Pilgrim movie, by the way. I just caught the last showing of it in my area (less than two weeks?! wtf) and it's only the second movie I've ever seen more than once in a theater. I am now going to purchase the books.

Woot
An update! Yeah!
This is dedicated to Robin Dempsey of "Shades of Grey", a completed online graphic novel about Heaven, Hell and all the wonderful characters in between. The link above goes to the comic archive there. Thanks for being a chum, link-trader and author of one of my favorite comics! (I'm super sad it's over :( )
Today's Page:
Tlaloc: "OH SHI-"
Despite what you may think, Baxter scares the hell out of Tlaloc. Their "companionship" goes back a long time, back to when Tlaloc was still in Mexico, and yes, Tlaloc DID remove Dreamweaver's mark from Baxter's shoulder. Tlaloc was also friends with Nor for a while and lusted after her a little bit. You may see some of this in BLOOD, but I doubt it.
Oh Tlaloc...

ARG
Anyone else ever taken the GRE before? YOU SHOULD HAVE TOLD ME I WAS TOO STUPID TO TAKE IT.
I am sworn to secrecy by the ETS people but I have this feeling, which may just be my brain hurting so bad, that schools are going to laugh at my scores.
I'm waiting for the essay grade but I'm pretty sure I failed that hard, too.
But I'm not really unhappy. I know I suck at math. I know my head isn't loaded with gigantic bullshit words that people only use to sound British or to be assholes. But I'm an awesome person...SO FUCK YOU, GRE. I'MA GWANNA DO WHAT I WANT!

Okay, so I finished another page!
This is dedicated to Caitlin, one of my awesome friends. The laughs, the head scratches that put me into a coma, the hour long rides from Burlington roleplaying horrific Aztec gods in toilets stabbing campers in the head...Good times...Te amo, mi amiga.
Today's page:
Does it look okay? I feel like I was trying too hard...
Meh.
Baxter is sexy. I'll be uploading a detail of some of my favorite scenes to the GALLERY so if you want to see super-sexy Baxter, best be lookin' for it there.

What!
OH MY GOD WHERE DO THEY KEEP COMING FROM.
So I had a very eye-opening and life-changing drive yesterday with my roommate. Long story short, I actually feel great for once. Like genuinely AWESOME. I feel like dancing around singing to Lady GaGa in my rumba shorts and flipping people off for no reason because, y'know, fuck it.
I think I'm going to be okay! :D I'M GOING TO BE OKAY!

So I had a very eye-opening and life-changing drive yesterday with my roommate. Long story short, I actually feel great for once. Like genuinely AWESOME. I feel like dancing around singing to Lady GaGa in my rumba shorts and flipping people off for no reason because, y'know, fuck it.
I think I'm going to be okay! :D I'M GOING TO BE OKAY!

Oh.
Well I guess I deserved that.
The not receiving any entries for the contest thing, I mean.
I'm sure most of you are busy reading Hanna is Not a Boy's Name and/or making art for her, so it's understandable.
I don't even know where to go from here. I'm so tired. Either I act like this and get a bunch of pity that only serves to bring me around to this point again or I am completely ignored.
But the fact is I have nothing else. I update and post art because I want your attention so bad. Just some comments, some questions, fucking hate mail, I don't care. I want to be able to love my work because it means something to someone else.
This is embarrassing and rude. But I had to let you guys know.

An...Update?!
Buh-WHA?!
So I got down. I got REAL down. I felt like this was THE down; the down people hit when they find themselves at the crossroads of Do and Die. Maybe it was and maybe it wasn't. I can't say that it's beyond me or that I'm even remotely near a finite destiny.
The point is I picked up my mouse and said "Fuck it" and made a page. How long has it been?! Too long.
Well, I'd like to thank you for finding your way over here because this is where the notes are staying. It made coding hard, it was barely used by anyone else and if you want updates, go to my facebook page. Or just IM me.
The biggest part of working towards a recovery is just talking to people. Plus, I will more than likely give you spoilers. After all, it's just GF.
GAH! Totally forgot! This page is dedicated to MadKatter from dA. I wish I could say more about this deviant, but I know absolutely nothing except they took the time from their day to ask for a dedication and it means a lot of me. Thank you.

COMIC BOOK CONVENTION, BITCHES!
Lots of awesome things happening this year:
Going to see CAKE the day after my birthday(GF's 5th Birthday!).
GF V.1 is published - must start work on V.2.
Going for my GRE to get into grad school to a librarian.
Lots of fun things.
BUT, I am working towards getting to the NYCC this year in October! What's the NYCC? Well if you don't feel like clicking that link, the NYCC is the second biggest convention in the U.S. and will be housing its own fun with an anime convention next door. No, I am not getting a table. I don't have the funds nor the esteem.
I am going to print out cards and network with some other artists if I can.
So if you're in the NYC area and feel like trying to play "Where's Waldo" (I will not be wearing a striped shirt) I may be there. I will update you when I know what's happening for sure.
Oh and I'm still not updating. I actually slapped my hand about working on issue 14 because it was stressing me out again. The contest is still open, but not for much longer, so please submit your entries!

OH MY GOD
Okay, I know the site is exploding, but I am working on getting it back to normal. Unfortunately, I have to go to work in a few minutes so I'll make this quick.
GO FISH ON SALE NOW! :D
Keep in mind the quality issues are my own fault, not Lulu's. The original pages were all saved in 72 dpi (ARGH) and I wasn't about to go back and redo all 112 pages. It's expensive so don't feel like you need an excuse to NOT buy it. I totally understand.
BUT IT'S AVAILABLE! That's more than I could've said a year ago!
If you do spend your cash on it, please give me some feedback. Obviously not about quality as, when the next issues get into books, the quality will get better in time.
Thanks!
BTW: PNGs are fun! Wheeeeee!!

Break Time pt. 2
Seriously, I waited almost two weeks for this stupid image to appear. I wish I was joking.
Oh, I published GF volume one in my spare time. It's expensive, it has the old art and I can't do anything about it, but my proof will show up soon and if I deem it close to being worth the cost, I'll let it go public, but, frankly, I don't blame you if you don't buy it.
Other things I've been doing: swimming, sun-burning, finding new comics (The Less Than Epic Adventures of TJ and Amal and Godseeker), thinking about drawings I want to do and/or sketching them, watching dumb-ass Garry's Mod and Half Life videos on YouTube aaaaand eating and hating my job. I also finally got a book I've waited two plus years for (Glee!) and played some Sims2.
It's enjoyable. I'm going to poke the website and try to get the cobwebs out and then get to work on REALLY reworking some stuff in GF and time management. Maybe one day I'll go to a Con. I live in a shitty area for cons, lemme tell ya.

BREAK TIME
In case you haven't heard the word, I am going on break. I am breaking myself from my art and story writing to find some peace of mind. No Roger, no Baxter, no Tlaloc raping Alex - NADA.
No wait come back! This does not mean "I'm dropping GF, fuck y'all" as I have always said I'd never ever leave you without an ending. Do you see an ending anywhere in sight?
That is exactly the reason I am taking a break. While you, the reader, may not see it, I am working my brain full-tilt 24/7 trying to write, plan, draw and update a comic I make no profit on. I've lost sleep over ideas and ruined nights out to come home and doodle something. My job is killing me as it is; I don't need what used to be an enjoyment turning me inside out.
So I'm dropping the cards and saying "fuck this shit" but only as a "for now". I may only need a weekend to recuperate, but I may need longer. Coming back won't be easy but I want it to be natural. I want GF to be something I WANT to do again as opposed to something I push myself to do and feel guilty when I fail.
I refuse to feel guilt. It's a comic. It's something I used to love and have turned into a monster. With approaching return to school I simply can't have something like this.
If you've made it this far through the blog entry, congratulations, there's more!
Despite being "closed until further notice" I am still taking contest submissions...if you have any.
I'd like to thank the people who have tirelessly waited anxiously for updates, prodded me along and even outright bitchslapped me into doing more pages. But I need a break. When I can love my characters again and stop talking to them about lotions and baskets while they sit in a well, I will return.
And I WILL return.

Felt Like Updating
It's 3am, do you know where I am not?
In bed.
I wanted to post an update of some sort. I haven't been working on the next page. I was busy this past weekend and I've been feeling hammered on all week at work (hammered ON, I wish I was hammered...). But tomorrow is my Friday and I'm hoping I'm in the clear for some alone time with my computer on actual-Thursday.
It's so ridiculous. When I'm busy, all I want is to be left alone to figure things out. The second I DO get a chunk of time to myself for anything, I fucking blow it on Fiesta, the Sims, facebook or just stupid random drawings like this one. I don't know what I want anymore. A trip to Mexico, three bottles of tequila and some sunlight, maybe...
I am using a big hunk of time to work on Issue 14, which is yet unnamed and unfinished. This is...so unheard of that I don't even know how to handle it. Issues 1 through 13 were planned, placed and run as effortlessly (shut up, I meant mentally) as blinking. Now I find myself going "Shit, what happens next? Oh God that's my job!" and panicking. I really don't know WHAT happens at this point. I've got scenes, events and an end for GF, but no story. Some hurdles have been leapt, others are tripping me up and the rest are tied to my ankle and smashing everything in my wake. MADNESS. But I could drop the ending on GF at the snap of my fingers which has always comforted me in case of emergencies. Not to say I will, but it's there. Oh it's there.
If you've got any words of wisdom or inspiration, try me, but I can't guarantee they'll be effective. If you really want to help, find me some more of this tequila I got in Mexico that I cannot locate in the World Wide Web.

PSI-Kick
lolz, Ahm funneh.
Anyway, today's page is dedicated to Psi, one of the people behind "Digital Screensaver" and one of the few guys that frequent the journal here. Also, one of the few GUYS who reads GF. I know I say it everytime, but it amazes me that guys read this comic. Thanks for being a pillar of your gender, Psi! (hahaha pillars look like penises...)
Today's Page:
Huh. This was interesting. I was practically physically incapable of pulling myself away from this page. I put off eating dinner for several hours before I forgot. I simply forgot to take care of my biological REQUIREMENTS for living. I guess you could say it worked out. The page looks nice, right?
Ramses...oh Ramses...You need a wheelbarrow for all the shit you get...

Today's page brought to you by the letter C
As in Chanyasoy!
Thank you for drawing Hina Ika fanart and being an adorable fangirl! I think you're a girl, anyway...Damn you, internet anmymymtityee!
Anyway, thanks for the great GF doodles, of which I found one today. Roger's such a grump.
Today's page:
This page...don't ask me to do this page again. I won't do it. I thought my love for this scene would push me along, but it was stupid hard to get through. Also, I hate my neighbors. They are the worst. I'm going to burn this place down, I swear to God.
Also, I already wrote this post but it has magically disappeared. Awesome.
DON'T FORGET ABOUT THE CONTEST! July 1st!

For KitFang
For KitFang. Who doesn't like her real name on the internet (srsly, what's the mystery?).
Thanks for sticking with me for so long and showing me what true fangirlism is all about. I should send you some more crackers. Thanks for all the long-night chats on AIM. Thanks for the awesome and slightly terrifying fanart. Thanks for getting me addicted to Fiesta (if an update's late, it's her fault, folks).
Thank you.
Today's Page: It was hard getting beyond the 5th panel for some reason, but all in all, it turned out well.
Contest and website: CONTEST CONTEST CONTEST! Did you not see the gigantic banner on the website?! Awesome prizes! Click the banner and see what it's all about
The website is starting to fall apart in terms of coding and suddenly it occurs to me that I've forgotten all of my HTML and CSS skills (and math). So I'm trying to rebuild it. Does anyone else have the issue of the journal appearing below the comic? If so you probably aren't reading this. I'm trying to fix that. Also the buttons at the bottom of the page and the links. AGH!
All of this and I STILL need to take the GRE! FML!
Next Dedication: Blooper-boy on dA. I'm not sure who you are but thanks for the dedication opportunity! And for reading GF! And putting up with my slack-updates!

I make comic pages?
Oh I guess I do.
Dedicated to Moophles from dA/AIM. You're a great artist and have a lot of really great things in your style. You know what you want. Go get it.
This Page: OH MY GOD...
If you hate it, I don't even care. I'm just...so done with it. Have it. I'm going to go have a metaphorical cigarette and cry in the shower.

Cue The Morning Music
Sorry, no, I am not on hiatus. I just wanted to give you some information because you deserve that much.
My attempts to finish the next page have been thwarted, mostly, by my computer crashing a lot more than usual. Hopefully I haven't lost too much information because I worked REALLY FREAKING HARD on the first panel alone. Also, I'm thinking about changing some aspects of it.
In other big news, I am planning on going to grad school to get a Masters in Library Science. That's right, people, I am going to be a librarian. If you knew me, you'd know I was basically built to be one. I'm looking into the online universities because I can't quit my job right now. Yeah, that means that working on my comic may be a little more difficult than usual, but in the end it would mean an awesome job where I am surrounded by books all the time and can stop smelling so bad at the end of the night.
The updates will continue when they can. I am still plugging away when I am able. Or willing. Creativity can be a bitch like that.

Did I say the 20th? I meant the 19th.
To WyldAngel:
Thank you for supporting my comic! I wish I had more to say to make it sound more believable, but really, you guys sticking with me has been a huge help. I wish I had neat trinkets to give out or those neat Patch Whatever statues everyone's doing nowadays. All I have is my work. So really, thank you.
Today's Page: Yes, Matt and Alex tried to date once. Now you know. Also, Matt is a total douche. The hardest part about this page was making the Fallen Empire website. I am not a web designer (read: THIS SITE, LOOK AT THIS SHIT).
Next Update: For Moophles...who still owes me art! I'm lookin at you!

A Review!
GO FISH was recently reviewed (and myself given an interview) by a friend I used to go to college with who now writes for examiner.com. I hadn't heard of the site so I checked it out.
Hey, publicity is publicity and I was flattered.
If you're interested in the article, click here.
EDIT: Update status: the new page will be up FEBRUARY 20TH, 2010 (yes this year).

PWND, baby!
To Bryan - who is one of the few people who can actually make my work day bearable. I miss you on the 284.
Today's page: Probably one of my best pages with Illustrator (toot toot). I thought I'd try out a new hair coloring technique as well. It was an accident. Yay, accidents!
Beyond: I'm not going to be taking requests of when to have the pages done. The pages are dedicated and if I have to wait around for a month and remember I had a page to finish at the last second, it's just going to become a headache. So. You'll get your page, I'll get to see new material on the website, we all win.
Speaking of dedications, there are still a few open spots left. Check my dA page (ART button) for which ones are available.

The Next Page
YOOHOO LOOK OVER HERE, READERS!
Bryan, for who/m the next page is dedicated, has decided the next page will go up February 1st. Look forward to the update then.
The turn out for the dedications has been phenomenal, but there are still several pages without a name to them. Click on the ART button at the top of the website and read the journal there. Pick a page, any page!
Any page not taken by the time I get to it is free for a re-dedication by someone who has already had a page. So get cracking before someone takes it!
EDIT: You can just leave a message here in the comments if you don't have a dA account, too. Just put in a name I can dedicate it to.

EDIT: You can just leave a message here in the comments if you don't have a dA account, too. Just put in a name I can dedicate it to.

This page is for Emi
Emi -
Thank you for inspiring such a great idea that benefits both you awesome readers and my lazy, lazy life.
Today's Page: Baxter doesn't like to be touched, if you hadn't noticed...Sorry, Baxter fans. He's not gonna snuggle with you.
Next page: For Bryan from work. Deadline: Soonish. I'll notify you when I'm sure.
Want to have a page dedicated to you? Post a comment here or on deviantART. It's THAT simple. Srsly.
EDIT: I updated this page before midnight and somehow it never showed up. I put another ticket into the CG queue and now they are piling up. Looks like CG is down AGAIN...be patient.

This One's For You
So Emi in the blog said that my not updating was killing her. So I've dedicated the next page to her and given her a deadline for it to be finished.
Then I thought "This is an awesome way to update."
So if you speak up and make yourself known, you could be dedicated any page from 458 to 477 (the remaining pages of GF Issue 13). Basically, the more people stand up and want a page, the more pages there will be.
Sound shitty? Well it's not like I'm forcing you to pay me anything or use your time to do ME a favor, am I? Right. So get to commenting.
Page 456 and 457 are taken. The list of complete "sponsors" will be posted on dA (ART button).

Woot
Hey all.
Yes, this site has been bare, hasn't it?
Despite the lack of comics pages, I have been busily plugging away at art "things". Working on Blood occasionally, still obsessing over the Tlaloc image, doing stuff with blood and fire...y'know how it goes.
I haven't gotten around to the comic yet. One panel on one page is almost done. You can see it if you want, but there's not much more to SEE. If you want to keep track of where my brain keeps going, you can click the "ART" button at the top of the website.
Also, you should all be angry with me instead of being so damned supportive! Start kicking my ass, yo. I want to start up another contest but there's no point in doing that until I actually have a comic, is there?
