Still feel as though my time is mismanaged/not serving me as best it can. But I can chalk that up to being my own fault. There are really moments where I feel “holy shit, this is my life.” For both good and bad. I feel blessed to have Deirdre, have made comics, and some material conditions (I feel I sleep in quite a nice bed). Things on the horizon are exciting as well. tabling at a con in Brooklyn, places I’ve applied to table, it is validation for the effort I’ve put in. the negative forms of “holy shit, this is my life” pertain to my current occupation, and lack of attention to upcoming projects. But I think Tommy may be right with his methodology towards momentum with artistic projects. The current failing with Pu Pu Platter is the amount of time I have let pass between inspiration and execution. If I sat down and got to it (drawing the comics) within weeks, I would’ve gotten them done more efficiently because I was possessed by my imagination. Now I have let some get stale.

Some projects benefit from time off and on, but either; this project does not, or, I’ve taken too much time off. But I buckled down and got Graffiti Train done last year. It’s now just a matter of putting the time in, completing parts, and getting excited by that and being fueled to do more. Just like anything else, it’s just about showing up and trying.
