Not an announcement I want to make.

dolariIt's with a heavy heart (again), that I'm announcing that all my creative endeavours (Closetspace, A Wish for Wings, Wishworld and the just recently on the table "Project Primer") are being put on hiatus. It's all coming to a stop.
Why?
As you may have noticed, since I moved to Seattle, the comics have been sporadically updating, and cut to three panels here, or repeated panels to get six panel comics. The problem is my job. The job is so stressful (these last two weeks particularly so) that even when I do have time to draw comics, I just want to curl up and hide under the covers of my bed. On my days off, I spend more time "recovering" from stress than feeling good about drawing art or writing. But there's more.
I have a job that has decided that they're going to put my nose to the grindstone and then proceed to grind it all off. In the last month and a half, I've had three SEVEN DAY WEEKS. They manage to do this by continually shifting around my "weekend" days to avoid any overtime. Without a consistent set of days off, I can't do comics and have them ready on any kind of consistent schedule.
So what does this mean? Well, there's some good news and bad news.
The bad news first: The comics won't be updated. Period. I'll try and have some filler occasionally and updates on the site (anyone wanting to post up some filler, please EMail me, we'll talk).
The good news second: When I DO come back, and I'm hoping that's sooner than later, I will not just be starting up Closetspace, but picking up AWFW as well. Hopefully by that time, all I'll be missing from the Primer Project is my segment of it, but we'll get more into that when I'm more ready to announce it a few months later.
I'm sorry folks - but I'm still pretty bankrupt from my move, and the only thing giving me money is a job that says "You will be here when I tell you too, and damn your personal life." Once money isn't such an issue, I'll be back, and in full force.
Sorry about this, folks. Things just got bad all around.
(Although if someone was to donate $32,000 I'd quit my job and draw comics EVERY DAY...any rich benefactors out there?)
