If things go according to plan, I'll have the vast majority of current projects off my plate once and for all within a couple of weeks.  That includes a Flash game, a programming gig (ick), and my very first sequential arc. 

I'm just about done with the short seven page graphic story, one which I'm past deadline on.  It's been a real challenge, but in the end it might help me find who I really am as an artist.  The story uses two different styles, an illustrated reality for what's currently happening, and a more abstract/digital style for the flashbacks.  It's been fun, but now I really know what I have to work on to get better at this.

I also came up with a great idea for a series of sculptures, which I hope to start soon.  I've always felt that I'm better at sculpture than anything else I do, and I think with the idea I have it'll be a real challenge.  If it works out, it will be a sculpture of Charon, the mythological ferryman of the dead.  I think the idea I have will look pretty cool, I hope to start on it soon. To me, if I can get that done it might be a good declaration to myself that art career 2.0 really has started.

I'm also just a hair's breadth from going to NeCon this year.  There are a couple more things to figure out, but it's looking good right now.  There are a number of writers going that I've met online, and I think it would be good to go. 

Now, if I can just shake the violent headaches of the last few days, things will be peachy.
