...my crapulent journaling skills.



Ok, so as many of you can probably already tell im not very, uhhh...bloggy.

In fact I feel really stupid when I do it...yet love to read blog posts by artists and personalities I like.



Im deep (lol) and complex like that.



The truth is I would much prefer to interract with you guys via comments or notes and thats something Ive pretty much sucked at for ohhh...I dunno...8 months?

There's a very good reason for it; not one that I can talk about right now because i'd be breaking an NDA but I can say that it was for a MASSIVE project that ate all of my time and had me locked down at my computer even moreso than usual.

Now that its over and im back on my just slightly insane schedule I can finally get back to replying like I used to and believe it or not im looking forward to trying to conquer the several thousand commments ive gotten from you wonderfully demented people.

I don't want to get too flowery or overly-flourishing with showing my appreciation but you should know that I read every comment, every note and they honestly mean a lot to me.  I consider myself to be extremely lucky to have all the attention and love you guys and gals show in the some of the most funniest, ridiculous and touching ways.  It's really the first form of payment we get as artists - a smile for a pretty picture.



For some of us, it's really that simple of an exchange...and one that never seems to lose its luster.



There is a darkside to being an artist however; one that is so soul-searing; so spiritually crushing; so God-damned asstacular - that no one man or woman could possibly coin it accurately in a phrase.

My friends, think of this not as a link, but a gateway to another realm; one that all aspiring artists and seasoned pro's can revel in; one where they can behold thier filth-caked existence for what it truely is.

My friends...

I give you ...the Fuckyeah Art Student Owl: [link]



Be afraid.





Ok, im outta here.
I've just gotten a little busy again so getting to the comments will be spotty but I can't wait - ive missed you weirdos.



Oh, before I go just a quick word about Groups. Ive gotten a lot of invitations to join some of the really cool groups that many of you have formed up, I honestly wish I could be apart of them but I simply can't; being a full-time daddy and full-time illustrator leaves me no time for anything else



Which reminds me: we're having another baby; a boy. His name is Max and he's due to arrive in early august.
I can't wait to meet him!

Ill talk to you guys and gals really soon,  be safe and God bless you all.

Brad
