Things with College are kind of falling apart - the advisors that I need to talk to at Shoreline aren't responding to my emails, and communication is sporadic at best. This is severely deterring me from getting back into college for a two-year program to study Digital Interactive Media...

That aside, I've also been busy on my graphic novel - I'm currently inking the 15th page of the 9th chapter. A lot of the lineart on the previous pages will be touched up and finished digitally. I also recently started using Copic Multiliner SP's (0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, 0.35, 0.5 sizes) which are refillable and have replaceable nibs. They have performed beyond my expectations and are becoming my favorite inking pens. There are other sizes available that I do not have, but will plan on acquiring soon when my financials clear up a bit. Particularly the 0.25 size pen.

I'm also running out of 11x17 comic art boards, only have a handful left in my drawer for the next chapter, which means I'm going to have to take another major hit to the bank when I order another batch of Strathmore 400 2-ply. I prefer the 3-ply, but the 2-ply is literally at the edge of my budget envelope. $199.20 for a bulk order of 100 of Strathmore 400 3-ply vs $134.40 for Strathmore 400 2-ply...the choice is pretty obvious. To take the $199 option is just literally a very dangerous hit to the gut.

In other news, I have done a lot of philosophical musings. Of which I will detail some other time.
