[Update] What has been going on.
Added 2024-12-04 00:46:18 +0000 UTCHello! I have been sharing news on Discord and Twitter, but not here, so here we go.
My father died from lung cancer a few months ago, and dealing with the fallout of his death caused a mountain of hurt. Then, it's my mother who announced she has terminal cancer with bone metastases and is refusing treatment, meaning I am about to lose both my parents within 6 months. That, among a few other pressures I am under, has fueled the mother of all art blocks. I deeply apologize for that.
In terms of projects, a huge amount of my time has been going towards the Evolly novel featuring Everett, Olly, Eric and all my characters. The novel is virtually finished, I am currently doing a third pass of editing. I really hope y'all will like it... It will be available at the $10 tier on Patreon for anyone to read, and I intend to print limited-edition physical copies. I have also been tackling the 70+ page Rampage comic. And I have resumed art classes, this time taking a comic course, and I intend to make the comic for that class be macro and happening in the Evolly universe, and to share it here.
Also, check out my BlueSky! Bunch of art there https://bsky.app/profile/kwakwa.bsky.social
Lastly, and this is just a reminder, but due to Patreon's new terms of service, some of my art cannot be posted on here directly, but ALL of my art is on the attached Discord server, and a lot of the art that cannot be on Patreon is published on social media (BlueSky going forward).
Thank you for your patience, and I am sorry for the dearth of content lately.

2025-01-01 23:14:32 +0000 UTCKwa you’ve been working on a 700+-page novel and a 70+-page comic and given us one finished pic per week on average over the last 3 months and so many sketches and WIPs being worked on, you CANNOT say there hasn’t been much lately. Maybe not as much as you’d have liked, but you’re a madman, and also a human, so it’s perfectly normal to be affected by life events, especially tragic ones like those. You’d only be failing in the eyes of people who put unreasonable expectations on you (and I think you’re the president-for-life of that club). But that’s enough business talk for this comment; being your own business is taxing and precarious and somewhat dehumanizing. I want to address my *friend* to say: Don’t be sorry. Let *us* be sorry for your losses and your hardships. We’re here and we’ll keep being here for you. 💜
