I haven't posted a journal in quite some time. And I think one is way over due. Hopefully no one gets offended and wants to sue me over this one. I will keep it harmless, I swear.

Quite a few things have been going on lately and I just wanted to reassure people that I am not dead and I am still quite active in the arts.

I have been working as a graphic designer for a local realtor here in Columbus, Ohio and it does keep me busy. But aside from that I have a few other projects as well.

I am working on the first Sion graphic novel titles simply "Sion: Genesis." It will be the first of 9 novels.

I working on concept art for a new series that will be launched after the conclusion of the Sion series. It is a more personal tale, and those who have read some of the early first draft and seen some of the designs can testify to that.

I also will be uploading a new deviation on December 26th. This deviation will be my intrepretation of a classic movie. It is a christmas present for one of my sister-in-laws. She is a major fan of the movie and I hope she will love it.

Oh, just because it will be uploaded on December 26th doesn't mean I won't be uploading anything else before then. I may or may not who knows. Just anything I do right now is mostly for the graphic novel.

On a personal side, I have been going through some emotional issues and I struggle with them everyday.

My wife Alice had yet another surgery and is recovering. There was a small scare of cancer. Thank god, it came back negative. I don't think I could make it if I lost her. I knew I love her. I knew I love her with all of my heart. But, this week showed me how much and how strong that love is and really put it into perspective.

My step-son Joe and I have gotten along great. Correction...my son. My father had a philosophy about step children that I really like. The only steps in a home should be the ones to get in the house. And I really like the idea.

Billy Jr. is getting big and he makes me wonder where our little baby went. But, there are times where he is not a boy at all...he's a little demon.

After 3-ish years of my father's passing my mother married another member from her church. Not going to say anything else. It might be taken the wrong way. Actually i'm sure it would be taken the wrong way. I love my mother and Dan is ok. I just pray that she doesn't ge hurt.

Anyway this seemed like a ramble and it was. I'm usually not posting anything in the middle of the night/early morning but I was bored and couldn't sleep. Hopefully it made sense at least a fraction of the tiniest part.

Don't forget to visit my website for more work than I have here on my DeviantArt page.
