So yeah basically been Sick for about a Week and a Half, Thankfully Not with COVID but still wasn't Fun. And during that Time I've been mulling over my Plans/Projects, and have decided to make some Changes here and there as to what I'll be Working On for the Time being.

So to get the Big One outta the way, since it's felt like the News Cycle hasn't ended since the Latest Movie's been announced/released and I'd like to get more Acquainted with the Genre; I've decided to Postpone my Retrospective of the Scream Franchise until the release of Scream 6 next year. Sorry to disappoint on that front, I was actually planning to have it out by April at the Latest but as I've been Working/Studying for the Project I felt it'd be better to release it when not in any Major News Cycle for the Series. That being said I haven't stopped Research at all, and have been coming to a lot of Interesting Conclusions. I'm really Excited to hear the Opinions of not only the Scream Fans, but the Horror Fandom in general. I feel like my Opinion lines up in some ways, and really Deviates in others. I can't wait for the potential Shitstorm this'll cause, because people got REAL Passionate over 5cream. And I'm the Type of Weirdo who ended up Hating that while Loving the likes of Halloween Kills.

In other Shotokan News, I'm going on a Art Supply run here pretty quick so expect a lot of New Art on here pretty soon. I've actually Finished the Line Art on a Newer Piece and I'm FUCKIN' PROUD AS FUCK of it. Like seriously I Love It, I'll be posting that Piece soon. I've got some Redesigns and Reintroductions of Characters that are Long Overdue. And I feel like I've been getting enough stuff done as of Late to feel Comfortable spending time leaving Comments/Appraisals on the Art of others on here again, so that'll be a Ton of Fun. Like I said before, Communicating with Fellow Artists has always been One of the Best Parts of my time as a Public Artist. I've Dearly Missed It. And have left little Crumbs of my Presence here and there across the Web. A lot of Bullshit's been going on in the Entertainment Industry as of Late, and it's been making me rather Depressed. But as long as I have my Family with me, and see the Good even in the Bigger Parts of the Industry I can be a Happy Artist. And after getting some Firsthand Experience with Prestigious Individuals at a recent Convention I attended, I can rest easier knowing how Down to Earth and Honest a lot of the Bigger Creatives can be. Really makes the Assholes out there stick out like a Sore Thumb. And Oddly enough, gettin' reminders of the Duality within the Creative/Entertainment Industry has been a Nice Reminder to remain Vigilant while still Opening your Heart to others.

So yeah in general, Plans have Changed Slightly but honestly not by Too Much and I've Recovered not only from Illness but from a Lack of Motivation. Hope to be Hearing from ya'll soon, Stay Safe out there and despite how Fucked a lot of Things still out there try to Hold On. You can do a lot more Good than you know, I Speak from Experience on that one.
