Well, it's been a while since I've been able to sit down and post much of anything here, and I apologize for the...many hiatuses I have taken art wise. The job search ended recently and I've landed a new banking position...and moved all the way to Dallas, y'all. 
It's a bit farther from San Francisco than where I used to live in Reno, but I can still visit my family with dirt cheap airfare...provided I bring no luggage. Not even a carry-on, apparently. D: The move has been a real adventure and I'm excited to see where it's going to go in the future. My coworkers are awesome, my managers are cool, and the salary is more than enough for living comfortably. What more could a working guy ask for? 
That's also meant that I've been sorting out moving a lot of things and getting settled with new Internet, utilities, and all that fun stuff. I've settled completely into my new digs and recently diagnosed a few computer problems. Because they don't build Macs like they used to, apparently. <_< Hence the breaks while everything was sorted out :C
And on to happier news: I will be vending at a table in Nightmare Nights, under the name Berry Pawnch Studios! Come see my artsy fartsies in the vendor hall, I'll have plenty of crazy or adorable stuff (Sometimes both!) on hand to take a gander at. I'm hoping to complete a pic of Lauren Fausticorn and the Mane Six before then. See y'all there October 27th!

Job hunt update: Decisions, decisions
Nailed a few interviews this week, and job prospects are looking good! I'll most likely be returning to the kind of stuff I've been doing day-job-wise: auditing for a financial institution of some kind. And now things are...getting a bit picky when it comes to deciding.
The thing I'm debating is that I'm looking at two jobs I've been feeling pretty good about, based on how the interview went. Both involve the same nature of banking work for pretty much the same good pay. One is in San Francisco, where my family lives. It'd be in downtown SF and well within reach of all there is to do in San Fran...having grown up there I really love the
A long overdue update on lifestuffs.
Golly. My last journal was how long ago? Just before the Smarty Pants saga got completed? Dang I am long overdue for staying in touch with everybody. :(
First of all...the con scene.
I...really don't know if I'm feeling it that much anymore, honestly.
The market for my stuff is slowing down year after year, and I'm actually a couple thousand in the hole looking at records for my business finances. It's getting to the point where I'm having to keep my fingers crossed making a monumental effort to break even.
To be honest I've been feeling this way for a while, and it really sucks because I do enjoy coming out to these conventions and
Getting closer to the end of this comic thing
Hoo boy...this is turning out to be a real doozy. I've spent so much time on this by now that I'm really looking forward to polishing this off and moving on at this point. Still, I've grown so attached to Smarty Pants that I feel she deserves a happy ending and am willing to put forth whatever it will take to give her a happy ending. The good news, not too far left to go!
In this update...Smarty finally meets up with the family and her Study Buddy companions! She seems a bit shy though...hopefully Twilight can coax her out from behind her tail :D
Another Smarty Pants Update
Things have been pretty quiet on my end recently with regard to life...so have a Smarty Finale comic update :D
She's baaaaaack. :)
