Tranquility Base.
I've moved into the new shared studio in the Goldsmith Building downtown (5th and Couch, right above Floating World), and it's awesome.
Here's my workspace. I've been getting so much work done here.
It's an easy commute downtown, and I've been going almost every day, for a FULL SHIFT of drawing. I feel great, both emotionally and physically - the bike ride helps, the company at the studio helps, the feeling of making progress on my book helps. It's so awesome!
My new studio mates are Indigo Kelleigh, Jon Siruno, Les Mcclaine, BT Livermore, and Shannon McClure. We're still moving people in and getting settled - we need a couch! - but it's already a clean, bright, inviting working space. In the slightly-more-than-a-week I've been there, I've started and COMPLETED three pages of Ivy, and gotten FOUR MORE within a panel or two of completion. I will finish this book by the fall - for real this time!
Also, I've been getting a lot of very positive messages from people, via emails and anecdotes and messages coming out of the woodwork, about my comics and how they affect those who are reading them. I have to say a monster THANK YOU to everyone who's enjoyed my work, whether or not you've let me know, because it reminds me that that is the real reason why I initially started this book and every other shorter project I've ever done. I'm extremely grateful to be well-received, but the real importance for me is to bring connection and understanding to others through my funnybook narratives. So, again, thanks. I won't disappoint!
