So what has happened since February... - I've completed my training and am now a fully qualified art teacher. - I made my first pilgrimage to San Diego Comic Con, it was unbelievable and I met many a comic legend such as Dave Gibbons, Garth Ennis, George R.R. Martin and Dustin Nguyen. I also managed to run into WWE Champion CM Punk, TNA wrestlers Eric Young, Frank Kazarian and Christopher Daniels as well as saying hello to a certain Robert Downey Jr. - I've spent the remainder of the summer working on various comic concepts and scripts: TSAR - A alternate take on the 1980's in America and Europe during the cold war. Current status: Story

I seem to update this journal every 3 years. So, after a few years in industry working on various graphic and web design gigs, I decided to become an art teacher! I'm currently half way through my training and uni and I'm really loving being in a traditional art environment again. It's nice to get the paints back out after a few years of just relying on illustrator and photoshop. I hope to be putting a few more comic bits up now, slowly working on my script for TSAR.

It'll be 3 years since I updated this, which is scary. So yeh, I'm graduated uni, had a few job, currently unemployed and just working on various comic stories and playing GTA4 to kill time whilst looking for a new job. :P Hope everyone is well. Kris
