I've really been pushing myself as of late. Though I've been on a 3 week break from college since Sunday, I still feel like my schedule is crammed with stuff to do.

The top priority is finishing a comic that has commissioned me to do, it's a follow-up to his previous commission comic "Tea Party Massacre" seen here: [link]

It's been both a challenge and a delight to work on so far as it's given me the opportunity to work with characters I've never tried before. It really pushes the limits of political correctness and... well, you'll see...

The remainder of my vacation will be spent working on "Mr. Nice Guy" which won the popular vote by 55%. I have the script outline completed, and even though it won't be gory like the Play Time comics (more of a Halloween thing) I can promise the same humor and insanity people have come to expect in my Sonic comics.

There's also a few "summer-themed" Demon Slayer pieces to finish but I'll be working on those sparingly until the bigger projects are done.

Outside of the art scene, I've been frequently visiting the local batting cages, not so much as an attempt to get into shape, more of a means of getting myself to a point where I don't feel tired quite so often. Sleep and fatigue have been costing me precious time to do the things I want.

But all work and no play make Brian really pissed, so in my spare time I've been playing some cool video games like Punch Out! for the Nintendo Wii and Ghostbusters for Xbox 360.

As for movies, well there's not much on the horizon for the theaters nor DVD releases, which will help me save some $$$ for Otakon and my trip to the beach this summer.

My next class when I come back from vacation is simply "Drawing", FINALLY! The good stuff. After four months of Intro to Online Learning, Comp. Lit. and Basic Math I'll finally start studying about the things relevant to why I enrolled in school in the first place. I'm actually excited to see how I'll be able to apply what I'll be learning to my art. Animation is my main goal, but that's further down the road.
