J.03 - AM I HUMAN?

Hello all! I hope this lil update finds you well!

It's a new year & we are all setting goals that have probably already been tossed out with the trash by this point (lol). That being said, I want to first start off by saying that if you want to accomplish something, the real meat of the goal is obtained by tenacity when you don't feel like continuing. So much of what we want to change about ourselves or change about our lives will have to be achieved by making ourselves uncomfortable. But! The time passes anyways, might as well learn to get comfortable in being uncomfortable.

Alright, I'm getting off my soapbox.

Progress continues on Am I Human! I'm well over the halfway mark, still on chapter 4/5 but it's moving. Something I'm trying to do is improve my art with each drawing. Already I can tell that I have improved since the beginning of the book. Kinda wild how doing something over and over causes you to get better at it... Anyways, I have even started writing on chapter 6. I'm assuming the next part will be crowdfunded this year but I am going to attempt to get more of it done prior to the campaign. I had no idea how busy winter time was going to be for me with having this project. It definitely got in the way and slowed me down but it didn't stop me fully.

As for me and my lil studio, check me out on YouTube! I have been trying to post more regularly & l have also been livestreaming weekly myself worjing on the graphic novel (in case you want to come hang out with me whilst I work or even watch the vod.

Soon I'm going to launch a website to host all my digital stuff and sell my physical stuff as well. If you are like me, you aren't pleased with most online retail spaces so it is a must to have your own.

**IF YOU ARE IN THE PHILADELPHIA AREA** I am going to be at PAGE next week running a booth. Come by, say hey, vibe with me for a little while and we can shoot the breeze. I'd love to see you there!

Until next time!

Hello all, I hope this update finds you well!

Progress is moving along on the Graphic novel, I am currently on chapter 4/5 and trying to get back to working on it daily. I had some other projects take my attention from it for a little while (I've got a tabletop Kickstarter coming up in February) but since the writing is done for that I can focus more on the graphic novel!

That being said I am also experimenting with making stickers myself instead of ordering through a website. If you follow me on Instagram (@gridlock_studios64) you'll see some of them. The print quality, as far as clarity, is still really good. However, there are print lines showing up? This is something I've noticed on other pages I've made with that printer as well so it's not the paper itself, I'm still going to look into it more before I do my final print of the stickers!

But yea, just wanted to give a lil update on the project! It's moving right on along, can't wait to see this bad boy in physical print! If you want to watch me work on it, I stream myself drawing on both Twitch & YouTube as well as having the VOD's uploaded on YouTube. Come by and hang, I'd love to see you there!

Until next time,

Thank you all once a gain for a beautiful campaign! I've always been bad at marketing so seeing this project go the full way with my poor marketing skills has been amazing.

So what now?

Now I am working on setting up late pledges because the project is still a WIP & not quite ready to send off to the printers. That being said, I'm going to be posting sample pages from time to time because I want you all to see the project come together!

Work continues, so thank you once again for believing in my little graphic novel. I thank God for you all!

Thank you all for your support of this little project, I really took a shot in the dark jumping from what I’m used to making on this one.

This is something that I’ve wanted to do as a young bean, so I’m glad to get the chance to make it a reality!

We still have about a day and a half left on this bad boy, so it’s all smooth sailing from here! I thank God for you all & for your support. I’ll give it everything I got!
