Almost 5 months since I've last updated? Freelance has picked up so I have been producing videos, just not ones for my Youtube channel and a bunch of other random projects. Anyways, onto updates.
My comic strip
Directionless ended in January. I was planning on doing a nice write up about the series for this blog in March but that post transformed into a write up and a top 20 comics list. And then that turned into a book collection. So I decided to put a book together of some of my favorite strips! I've finished my own edit of the book (without a publisher) and am awaiting my proof copy at the moment. Right now I'm setting everything up to release the book independently (through lulu.com). It's not just a collection, I've re-written and re-colored many of the older comics.

| Original release back in 2010. |
 |
| Updated version from the book. |
Before I do that I would like to see if it's worth my while to approach a larger publisher. So it still may be some time before it is released. Right now it's 72 pages and costs $30 on lulu with 120 comisc in the book. I think that price is a little high so I'm going to see if I can lower it.
As for animations I have two in the works. One is Directionless related. It's a music video that sums up the entire series. I don't have a release date in mind yet as I am still tweaking the storyboard. And the other is an original funny video.

I also plan on making a short commercial for the Directionless book when I release it so that most likely will be the next thing posted on my Youtube channel.
I have started and stopped a few videos mostly due to the quality of the story not being high enough. Here are some screenshots.

I have been working on a lot of projects but I am sadly having to focus less on my internet videos due to financial reasons. I am moving towards other forms of media like books, film and television. I am thinking of shifting my focus towards writing movies and television these days. I would also like to direct more live action material like the Brandon short I filmed over the summer (which by the way is on hold because of the Pixar film with a similar concept).
Anyways that's all for now!
