Hey, folks. Been a while. You would NOT believe what's been going on with me lately, and so I will not bore you with the details except to say that my already too busy life has recently gotten about 150% more busy.
It's cool though, I'm finding out that I just might be able to support myself solely on selling my art, which is good, if very time consuming, but the positive side affect sems to be a growing awareness of my comic, so I really can't complain at all. It's nice to know that I can do a pencil sketch, put it up on eBay, and have it bidding up from $35.00 to $57.00. It's also nice to know that there are enough people out there that want comissions and sketches from me to make it very difficult to draw my comic. There's hope for this yet. Thing is, a friend of mine, after I had said "it's cool, I don't have time for a girlfriend right now anyway" said "when exactly do you think that's going to change? Cause I don't see it happening." and here I go tacking MORE time onto my work schedule. If you haven't already, check out my new and improved website, http://ericj-art.com, to see what's been eating up more of my time.
It's gotten to the point that I think as soon as we're financially able I'm going to give up one of my favorite things, which is inking my work, so that I can have some personal time.
In other news, I found out my ex is moving in with the boyfriend I just found out she had. I was bummed for a second, but almost as quickly I felt more free than I've felt in a long time, so that was cool. Did get me thinking though, about the possibility of having a girlfriend again. Then I met a girl on Valentines Day that was so out of my league that it wasn't funny, but we got along really good, and she's the first girl I've met in a long time that has the real potential to be more than a "hook-up". Still, I don't think she's going to call me back, which would be just my luck, meeting a girl that, at least initially, hit every point on the "dream girl" checklist, on Valentine's Day no less, and then never talk to her again.
I suck SO bad with girls that I really like. "Like", "kinda' like", "would do", and " no interest at all" I'm pretty fucking good, but as soon as I really like a girl I'm crap. Story of my life, and I'm sure many of you can relate.
Still, I hope she calls, and I think she's worth pursuing. Not like in a stalker kind of way, just in that old timey way. She may not be worth it, but based on our initial meeting, I think she is.
Btw, it was cool hanging out with the SGSD crew on V-Day. Bettie and Whitey are about two of the coolest people you could hope to meet, Ms. Lane is just as cute, cool, and talented as you could ever hope a girl to be, and I finally got to meet Ms. Stellastargazer, which was awesome! Thanks for coming out girl.
In fact, everyone that I've met in SGSD has been fucking cool so far. It's a really good thing. Can't wait for next time.
Anyway, that's me for right now. I'm going to try and say a few hellos right now, but I've got to get some sleep, so if I don't get to you tonight, please don't hate me.
