I’ve been trying to get back in the habit of posting regularly online, and let me tell ya, it’s hard! For like ten years I’ve mostly just been working on contract work and not much else. Now my contracts are done and I have all the time in the world to make my own art and talk about it. Feels weird after a decade in NDA land.<\/p>\n

Well, with all this free time I’m brainstorming new stories. I’ve been kicking around this urban fantasy idea for a long while. Back in 2010 I decided I was going to do a webcomic. I had two ideas, M.F.K. and this one. It’s got monsters, girls kissing, fight scenes, and one very orange cat. I love the vibes. Now if only I could figure out how to write it!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
