I check my last blog post, which was done at the beginning of the new year. In that time I have been slowly and steadily working on things in all areas of my life. I've done a lot of cleaning and organizing, changed a couple of things and finally got around to doing some things I've meant too for possibly years.
That being said, this has not been an easy winter. The weather has sucked and made it difficult to get things done. As we all know for awhile it felt like there was a snowstorm every week. There was a brief period there of little activity, but as I write this, I look outside and see another fresh coating of snow. The weather lulled us into a false sense of security.
Pronto comics is going well. More and more people are getting involved and we are consistently expanding. It is a good feeling, a feeling of accomplishment. My own projects though still remain on the back burner. I have realized something about myself though, that no matter what the situation of my life may be, I can't seem to do just one thing.
I look at the jobs that I work, and right now can't think of not being involved in these things, as I find them important to my life and enjoy them. In essence I am a work-a-holic and i am not sure if this good or bad.

A new year, a new, I don't know.
I don't really like to make resolutions, mostly because I am outstanding already (hears crickets). That was a joke folks.
However there is something about the idea of a new year, newness in general that makes a person want to take some kind of action. Psychologically, I guess it is a convenient transition point. A clear date in which the past is the past and there is the possibility for a clean slate. Truth be told of course, that could be any day, but socially we pick the beginning of January.
It is to this end that I find myself, reorganizing, cleaning and clearing out old things. A shedding of the past, if you will. It creates almost a visceral feeling, like a lifting of weight.
It is a motif in literature and mythology that the hero's physical surroundings is a manifestation of his mental condition. I believe this to be true in life as well. A chaotic and cluttered workspace or living space is the product of a mind in a similar state.
So as I've been cleaning I feel the mental cobwebs clearing out and ideas are coming to my mind. Ideas for Pronto Comics, my website, my schedule, new illustrations, and several other ideas. Hopefully i will be able to get all of them done this year.
