Illustrated shorts, short stories, mini comics, Sunday Comics and or a few pages, I have found to be the easiest way to convey most of what I feel and desire to talk about, without boring my few readers. Of course for the sake of productivity and getting the most out of my work, the desire remains to formulate compilations as extensive as "Black Amethyst," https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/black-amethyst

I've grown a lot since then as a writer and artist and there is still a lot to learn and a lot to discuss. I have been considering if it is necessary all the time to devise a piece of art, relevant to a particular topic, or am I merely overworking myself and you all could read and laugh at my ideas as much as you do when I present a visual aid tool, such as a few sequential panels? There are times when I would like to fill a few pages in my online magazine with just OP-Eds and no art, but then I begin to feel that defeats the purpose of the overall exercise and limits the digital process. It is still amazing what one can do with a few hours in front of the computer and improving the craft of art, and the creative process along the way. I am daily humbled by the achievements of others and myself in the ever expanding digital universe.

I did not win at Robot Day 2020 but I did enjoy participating this year and managed to save a few documents that I thought were inspiring. I am very pleased with MindChamber https://mindchamber.newgrounds.com/ overall support of "Tappi" : https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/adventvoice/tappi-lewd-crude-and-un-called-for though it was a lewd presentation and rather out of place with this years Robot Day 2020 theme. Though I do find Cyber Punk to always be relevant and will leave a good impression on the world at large.

That is what I am to do with most of my work. I may be an anarchist at heart. I may have views about life that make you scratch your head and ponder why I am still here and not behind bars. It is this bumping of convention and the acceptability of all kinds of art, stories, and people, that influences most of my thought process.

I am in America. A land that boasts itself of being essentially tolerant and fair, so when issues arise in which the country presents itself as anything but, it is important to document it and observe the proper steps to bring people back into a proper balance.

As a NSFW writer and artist, the daily challenge is having the space to present these works among those who'd commit me in an asylum if they could. Lobotomize me and determine it was for my own good because I refused to be controlled or at least carry myself responsibly, as a gentlemen: though this line of thinking is certainly relative and yet to be defined. I have crates full of my work, sketches, and prints ready to be released, and I have many other ideas yet to be revealed, stored away and ready to be shipped elsewhere at a moments notice, in the likelihood that my current employment is terminated and my comfortable living, no longer accessible to me. I have to live this way as a NSFW writer, but i am certain if I was merely a writer of the local paper, I would always have the controversy of not maintaining a livable income or housing to contend with. https://www.rawhide.org/blog/infographics/homeless-youth-americas-hidden-population/?gclid=CjwKCAjwnK36BRBVEiwAsMT8WLdwhJg93yeId5mlzRscaThid1Zk77MMtyIGaOjZcrP_T59C1klGyRoCj6sQAvD_BwE

All of this is contributed to the unemployment rate in America. Self-employment is just as bad as Unemployment: https://usafacts.org/visualizations/weekly-unemployment-claims/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=ND-Jobs&gclid=CjwKCAjwnK36BRBVEiwAsMT8WKPEx0nowuK2luCjy7fzy124W--PoXPNaxyRQWcV_wVD0AcpE1BquRoC1vsQAvD_BwE

When there is no money to go around. All one can do is the best they can with what they have. My focus being on my art and writing gives me an edge, but only if I can increase my following and continue to present works that continue to make you think, laugh, and consider.

One day I hope to take my talent on the road, tour in different places, and just make the most of the little time left to make impression on the world.

I do hope you all have had fun with me in the past few years and continue to dig deep to find what you are good at and teach others how to make the most of their gifts. Finishing up the third page of "French Connection's" felt good and there is a lot more to come!!

Keep dreaming lovelies!
