Hit a personal best on leg press yesterday and I am feeling it today oh my God.

Okay, real bad news. my BRAND NEW Huion tablet is now reacting to my computer EVEN WORSE than the old one. So It's not a hardware issue. I've emailed everyone that I can and now I just have to wait.

Got the new tablet monitor last night. I didn't open it cuz I was too busy farting around. But yeah, new tablet monitor acquired. Work will resume per usual. Thankfully the one at work is just fine. I can work from home now tho.

Something had happened a while ago and Im so close to relief that all I can do is cry about it. I know it's not completely over but the pressure is going to be so much less. I might share the story but it's got a lot of family details that I'm not sure I want to share. Im just so excited to move on.

First day with new jeans and it's a constant reminder of how chunky i am.

Is procreate dreams any better now? I'm considering picking it up.

You ever draw something that you're just like "how the heck did this come out of my head and hand?" and you just stare at it for a while? what a cool feeling.

It's horse time 🐴

First day back at work. Sometimes it doesn't feel like the break was long enough but tbh I was going insane so this'll be good for me.

why do I get the feeling that every time I tell someone my feelings things just get worse?

Like yeah I got goals but I won't be sharing them because if I do I won't wanna do them anymore. You'll just have to wait and see what I've been cooking when it's ready to eat.

Printing books is fun! Just gotta wait 2 months for them to get here.

You can pretend to have your shit together if you want. They don’t really check

Congrats we made it.

Ordered a new one. Might be offering commissions soon. This is such a bummer.

So I think what I'm gonna do is buy a new one while there's a holiday sale going on and if I can fix the one I've got I'll return the new one. This is so frustrating but at least there's a sale.

I think my tablet monitor just died. It works as a monitor but not as a tablet. I'm so fucked.

I hate that I hate that I'm forced to take a break over the holidays. I've never gotten to do it before and now I don't know what to do with myself.

Just ordered production on some books. I'm so excited and also scared!

I am finally back home from Christmas at my MIL. As lovely as it was to visit, I'm happy to be home so I can start on some drawrings

Any tips on having a good DND journal? I want to transfer my notes to a good notebook going forward.

muppet christmas carol (happy holidays!)

one more rejection! let's goooooo!!!

this gay little clown just shed a tear

I got the big TV all to myself tonight. Any movie recs?

My family had another baby and my dad said it cost like, $10k to bring a life into this world and I thought that was so wrong. I was like, 9 years old. Growing up Catholic where you're encouraged to have lots of kids and then to pay this much, it felt like a scam. It is a scam.

I'm going to have a break in my work from Feb to April next year. Keep me in mind if you need any storyboards, comics or illustration done!

It doesn’t matter if your comic is stupid. What matters is whether YOU commit to the bit

My boss got me for secret Santa and he made me this. Needless to say I'm in shock and awe of the amazing talent of the people around me.

EMERGENCY! Starting in January, my unemployment benefits will be withheld, so I am opening up emergency editorial commissions. I've edited comics, visual novels and pitches of every kind for almost a decade now, including Eisner and Xeric-nominated projects! Email or DM me for inquiries!

It's so weird winding up for the holiday break. I've done so much this past year and I hope to tubro charge it next year. I've got so many ideas and stuff I wanna do. Being asked to rest is hard, but necessary.

That one time I approached a person in the movie theater to turn their light down. I was so bold that day.

Great news! Editor says I'm free to ink! delartstuffs.substack.com/p/040-night-...

I finally have an opportunity to board and Akira slide and I'd be pretty dumb not to seize it.

I offered to help with some designs and I forgot to ask if the characters are hot.

Own your work kids.

Going to the gym makes me feel so good. I had a rough couple of weeks but I got back on the horse and it set me up really well today.

I braved the Ikea on a Sunday. One of the employees asked if I'd gotten my backpack at that location and I told him I got it from Aussie. As of right now they don't sell them. He said it looks good on me and he's right.

I made an entry for November's Loop De Loop. #animation #loopdeloop

Happy Ikea opening day, Auckland! Godspeed.

do you ever think about how we all just learned how to use a keyboard and now all we have to do is think of the words and our fingers know where to go without looking or like, even straining? it's kinda wild. it's like breathing.

I just finished pencilling my second graphic novel. How should I celebrate?

whenever my Maori pronunciation is complimented it really does make my heart sing. I really want to respect the native language and do my best to fit in. There are still things I struggle with, but I get a lot of leeway not being from here.

I wrote a bit about this month. I'm mostly about closing loops right now so it's a simple one this time. delartstuffs.substack.com/p/039-steady...

15 pages of a graphic novel left to pencil. 2 covers to finish for a print job. so much comics.

Going to the gym has been so hard the past couple of weeks and it sucks. I just straight up don't feel good.

New Zealand is finally getting Ikea and it's a big fuckin deal you guys
