And like in the beginning of every year, I’m setting a goal for 2012. This is going to be the year where I come out and play - I baked my cake for quite a while now, and now’s the time to share...

This is a post based on a conversation I had with a friend of mine, in which I explained what I think it takes to live of doing comics in the world we live today. It enlightened him in a way, so I felt I should share it with you as well, readers of my blog. This is by no means a guide or should it be taken too seriously.

Hitting the ground running

Hi everyone, long time no post. Last time I posted something was the AmazuLog, this crazy idea I had of documenting what happens here in the studio on video. Which didn’t work so well because a lot has happened since then, and I couldn’t keep record of it. So there’s not much video material for the Log, but there will be soon. Because right now I’m working on the next two...
