Ah, life. Gets crazy, doesn't it, guys? Hey just wanted to throw out a journal for all you super peoples who have been awesome and followed me these last couple of years, because I didn't just want to disappear without at least a little explanation. It's taken a while to recover after my work related injuries, but it's gotten a lot better. On the flip side though I've been pulling a lot of overtime, ironically, so my schedule's been a little shot in general. I've tried balancing my art schedules around it, but it's still pretty rough getting some time to just keep up with the hobby stuff. I do have some private projects I'm still trying to get done, but those won't be seeing any daylight for a long, long time, and I'm afraid it's all come down to meaning I at least have to shelve the Tribe of Gojira comic, at least until a time comes when my responsibilities calm down a little.
I'll probably still be putting out Triumphant fairly regularly, because it's really really easy to do black and white pencil, and I will keep commissions open because I want to stay at the service of anyone who wants commission work, so don't worry about at least contacting me if you want some work done.
But otherwise I'm gonna be more or less taking a powder. Life is busy and I have a bad habit of trying to overreach what's realistic for a weekly set of hours
Plus it may be time to finally get back on the boat and earn that bachelor's degree...
Hmmmm, I do need to at least keep posting those G-Fest pics, though, that doesn't take any time. Mwahahahaha.

Sheesh, I'm Dead XD
Life is insane, but it wouldn't be life if it wasn't I suppose. Finally got my hands on a new car after my old one bit the dust, but I'm also narrowing in a new second job to try and combat rising expenses and paying off said car. While I lined up something nice, unfortunately it looks like I'm going to have no choice but to take on a second full time position, which of course means life is going to be changing for a while. I can't live without working on my comics and stories, so that's not gonna stop, but some things have already had to change for this year. I had intended to make a Titanus Behemoth cosplay for this year's G-Fest, but time and money simply won't allow me to make the suit in time and to my satisfaction. I'll be fulfilling my commission requests I've received, but obviously following the new status quo and working two full time jobs I'll be retiring commissions because there just won't be time or energy. It sucks that we live in a world where most people can't get by
Once More Into The Fray...
I'm sorry the work basically was ground to a halt this last month, there's practical reasons why it's been that way, but I hate losing time on my projects. Thing is life is looking to be changing in some big ways soon, which I won't go into, but I'm immediately afraid it'll mean that I'll have even less time to work on the things I love, but I hope that won't be the case. To quote an oldie, "On the other side of this trial I'll be a better man". That's the goal, but I won't stop making the things I love, it just may go a little slower. Time will tell.
Let's Make It Great
The older we get the more hectic and busy life can feel like it gets. 2023 was a mixed bag where I personally feel like I got a lot done that I wanted to accomplish, while failure to do a large amount as well. I guess that's pretty normal for most of us. For 2024 I have an assortment of goals I hope to accomplish to my best ability. Continue my fitness journey and stay disciplined. Make a lot of custom figures of characters I love and take a huge chunk out of my checklist. Stay consistent and regular on Godzilla Triumphant and Good Words With Sako. Complete a new costume for the 2024 G-Fest. Overcome a few personal obstacles and be the best man I can be. The start of a new year doesn't magically make us achieve things any better, success or failure is determined by our personal fortitude and will power to achieve our desires, as well as good fortune when life gets in the way, but it can be a good time to reassess our priorities and refocus. I've been struggling through the last year
Customs Wishlist Highlights 2024
Every year I try to get myself psyched up for creative projects for the next one, especially after dry spells like I've had lately. It's just nice to have those little creative goals to look forward to, and while this isn't everything I hope to make it gives you an idea of where I want to fill out the little corners of my collection, because either the "real" things are too damn expensive (Like the griffon from Latitude Zero or MechaGodzilla City) or they were never made, like Onibaba from Pacific Rim, Tatsu from TMNT or weird outliers that I just like such as the Village Monster. I definitely want to finish making the cast of Godzilla The Series this year, that side project has been long, long overdue. So hopefully life will be agreeable and I'll find the time and the change I need to buy the ever-increasing cost of sculpting clay, but I'm looking forward to it. Gonna get rough though if the Monsterverse keeps heaping monsters on us like the Ion Dragon and such :P So onward and

It's all cool. I was always surprised at the output level you did on all your work. I'm just like..."how in the hell does he find the time to do all these wonderful little pieces" lol 
At least you got a game-plan of what you want to do. And at least you finish your projects....which is not something I can say about a lot of kaiju fans. Most just does one or two pages of something and then give up. Some even just talk about this "grand plan and project", that they got cooked up...and never follow through with any of it.
But I certainly look forward to anything you have to put on here. I am sure they will all be shown the same love and attention that you put in every piece that you create
