Sorry to say that puppet progress pics might slow down just a little bit as this is an extremely busy time at work. Well, that and I need to order more faux fur for Jaster so he can, you know, have arms. But in the meantime, I am making smaller puppets for the people at work so I will post shots of them when they are done. My goal is to have Jaster done by the new year. After that, I have my next three puppets planned out that I am going to be mailing out to friends. Working on these puppets have been a great experience for me. I don't really have a lot going on otherwise away from work. This has been giving me a sort of pick up that I have been needing.

Hell, I had anxiety when I had to order a pizza over the phone. Anyway, I thought that I was tapped out creatively, which sucked because that was what I thought wat I was as a person. I finally decided to see a doctor and was diagnosed with

Wow, I have not been around DA for freaking years. This was mostly due to a self imposed exile. I had a crisis of creativity I'll say for lack of a better way to put it. I had my confidence in my own work shaken to the point of snapping. I quit writing comics. It was a pretty decision to make seeing how the process of making a comic on an independent level was hard on me and terrible to everyone else involved. I still had the writing bug though and after a few months began writing a novel. It took a long while but when I was finished I felt great so I did it again. And that felt even better so i'm in the middle of doing it again. I'm debating
