What "Break?"
Posted October 9, 2018 at 11:12 am

It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you,

Without a dope beat to step to.


It's been a long ass time since I've posted a proper YP comic. And we're still in the soft-relaunch period which means I'm still trying to figure out things like colors and format and all that. But for all tents and porpoises we're back!


It's been years! Where mah free comics??! 

Right, yes. Well.

I decided that in order for me to live my best life, I needed to transition to fulltime freelance work. This meant that most of what I did art wise had to have a paycheck at the end of it.

Unfortunately, YP never reached the traffic threshhold where ad revenue would make up a significant portion of my income. Writing and drawing took up so much time, time that I could have spent on paying gigs. Updating YP just wasn't practical.

It's been a few years now and I have things more under control. My schedule is sort of normalizing between work and taking care of Hazel. So I feel like it's about time to get back to it.

I'm gonna be spending this month figuring out format and such. I'm only going to be updating once a week because, let's face it, updating three times a week did me no favors. Also, the relaxed schedule will still give me plenty of time for pay work. I'm digging the scrolling format which read very well on mobile which I feel is where most people are reading comics these days. And if you're on desktop, the bigger panels are way in your face so you can see all of my art flaws up close and personal. Mostly, I gotta figure out if I like the color scheme or not. I think, at least for a while, I'll be using a limited color palette because it's special and arty and is challenging.

So. Yeah. Back. Sorta. Spending time working shit out. Thank you for stopping by! I'll be much more obnoxious about getting the word out come November hopefully!

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.
