Faking and Making
Posted January 1, 2019 at 01:10 am

Happy new year! I hope 2019 treats the world better than 2018 did. What a fucking asshole of a year.

So I got some plans for 2019. Resolutions? I dunno, shit I wanna get done.

  • Draw Write Now -- Me, Brandon Chalmers, and Phil Chan are gonna make something out of this aspirational brand in 2019 so get ready! We're gonna just fuckin' figure it out along the way and do it!
  • Draw Jam -- I wanna get 1000 subs on my drawing channel so I can be a youtube partner and flail about trying to make that shitty adsense money. I know, I'm late to the party. I'm always late to the damn party. bleh.
  • Kitsune Hoodies and merch in general -- I have samples in hand! I'm gonna try to figure out getting some good looking photos for them, but I'll be putting them up soon. And more merch in general. I'm gonna try prints this year. Last time I did them sucked, but that was decades ago (I'm fucking old). We'll see if there's a market!
  • Nomlings -- These dumps are getting refreshed and are coming back. Toys and merch and maybe an animation or two depending on how things go. We'll see.

Short list, but big dreams. I'm so grateful to everyone who's come back to check out YP after being gone for so long. I would really love to make this iteration work. A bunch of these projects will help me keep afloat if they all work out like I want. And I've also got a Patreon which I never talk about which I plan on talking about more in 2019. I post full resolution version of the comic and any other art that I produce throughout the year as well as previews of things so if that sort of stuff interests you, check it out.

But honestly, reading the comic and sharing with your friends is the best thing in the world to me. And I thank you all for coming back. Alright, back to the grind. More shit to come in 2019!!!

KANE

Yo, Lance, what?s going on?


SHIN

You?re Lance Li?

LANCE

I am! And you?


SHIN

Oh, Shin. I?m the new intern.

LANCE

Hey! Look at you guys getting all fancy and shit.


KANE

Like Bodie says, fake it ?til you break it. Or something?

====


SHIN

I? I?ve seen your work.


LANCE

Well, I figured. You know my name and I?m not really known for much else.

====


SHIN

Oh, this is embarrassing.


LANCE

Hah! Only because puritanical attitudes towards nudity have plagued our fragile society since its inception!

====


====


LANCE

For real though, don?t feel embarrassed. I wasn?t always, but I?m proud of what I?m doing now. I get to take a more active role in the direction of my career. Which is actually why I?m here.

BODIE

You know we got you. What?s up?


LANCE

Actually, I?m here for Julie.

This video is sort of a subtweet about some art twitter discourse. But I wanted to respond in video form rather than in written form so that you wouldn't misinterpret my words. Also not linking the discourse directly because I don't want to dogpile on the inspiration for my thoughts. But here are three ideas that I wanted to share with artists for us to keep in our brains as we go into the new year.
