I think we all can agree that 2016 has been... somewhat of a shitshow.

| 2016 WYD??? |
A lot has happened since my last post in August, and none of it is particularly interesting so I'll spare my readers the details. But just yesterday I read the news that Ron Glass of Firefly fame had passed away, and it was on a morning just like this a few months ago that I was drawing a line illustration of Shepherd Book for the Serenity Adult Coloring Book published by Dark Horse, musing that Book was perhaps my favorite character of the series.

Speaking of books, there's been some developments with my own, but I'm not at liberty to discuss that right now. What I will say is that I finished writing a second book since August, and I haven't quite recovered from it yet. I didn't expect to become so emotionally invested in the lives of people conceived in my head, and I'm surprised at how much their fates are weighing on my shoulders. I'm sure a lot of artists struggle to separate their personal lives from their work, and the affection I carry for my characters hovers annoyingly between fantasy and reality. Perhaps I'm living vicariously through them as a means to escape the ugliness of society and my own unfulfilling existence, but I better start writing something more upbeat here pretty soon before the fictional landscape I've invented begins to mirror something altogether more awful--in the real world, and in my heart.
