For the past month, I have been hearing the same thing from people I have made connections with at school, work, or even on Facebook: "I haven't seen you in a while. How are you?"

Recently, the director of my undergraduate art program asked me that question while she stepped out from teaching class. It's been a while since we have talked, and I informed her about my experience of the graphic design program and everything.

And that's why I haven't posted anything on deviantArt for a while. I have been busy with projects, trying to getting my club chartered before the semester is over, as well as working on my portfolio blog for internships. It's a lot to do, and lots of emotion that have taken place within the past month.

I'm honest, I thought I lost my way a bit, having no clue what I was becoming or how this will all turn out couple of weeks ago. After talking to one of my professors, I'm feeling better of my path. I just have to stick with the growing pains of learning graphic design. Seriously, graphic design has pushed me to be a better conceptual thinker when it comes to comics, drawing, and direction. It's just that I haven't had time to show it here on dA.

This brings to my focus for this journal: I know I haven't posted in a long while or have commented much. However, I do check deviations when I can, and make note to comment when I have the time to. As for my own works, it's slow because I refuse to try and rush something just to present on dA. Comic or illustration. What I will do, I will compile a sketch dump this weekend, seeing I do sketch on the side from time to time. And yes, it includes a couple of Mauly sketches.

As for the B.O.A.T.S.S. comic, it'll resume sometime in mid November. Sorry, but these last projects are going to take up most of my time and I want to finish strong. I'm going to be redesigning a wine bottle (NO I DON'T DRINK! NEVER HAVE, NEVER WILL!) as well as creating a website...and other things.

With that, how are you guys? Any updates? Let me know, and I hope you guys continue to have a wonderful week! Peace.

Contro out.
