updates

wow, it's been a long time since my last post. O_o i did a 4-issue Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles story for IDW so i was busy with that until February, and i've been kinda slacking off the past month, doing just little things here and there and doing a lot of drawings just for fun.

right now i've just started working on my last TMNT issue for a while, one issue of the upcoming Turtles in Time mini-series (i'm doing the dinosaur issue!), and then after that it's back to Wet Moon 7 for a bit. i hope it's worth the wait, sorry it's taking so long, Wet Moon really took a hit when i ran into financial troubles back in 2010 or whenever and never recovered.

i can't believe Wet Moon is almost at its 10th anniversary, which will be around the end of this year/early 2015. i want to do something special but i don't know if i'll have time... other sort of big WM news is that i'm pretty sure volume 8 is going to be the final book, and i'll be calling it quits after that, at least for a while. Wet Moon will probably be back after that eventually, but maybe as a spin-off or some other form, not sure yet but i have some ideas.

i don't know if it'll be career suicide to end Wet Moon, but it seems like the right thing to do. i love the characters but i've felt more and more crushed underneath all the storylines i've woven together, i feel like i'm paying for the decisions my 24-year-old self made, and i need to wipe the slate clean and move on. other reasons are i feel like i'm always trying to repurpose Wet Moon to fit with myself as i get older and change as a person, people change a lot in 10 years, and also that with each new book, WM gets more and more inaccessible, i don't want it to become like long-running superhero comics or those Japanese comics that you're interested in until you find out they're 25 volumes long and counting. bleh.

so, we'll see how it goes. thanks, everyone!
