Click here for a larger version of the comic if you can’t read this one. And yes, there is a full update after the break.

First off, Flavor of the Week.

It’s a new webcomic of sorts. I’ll only be posting it here on Z-F.com, and I don’t know how often I’m going to update it. I’m going to try and do a new one with every update I do here on my blog.

Think of FotW as a look into my mind. Like a Scrubs version of my life as an artist. It’s going to be my first time really going at it with a webcomic on my own, so bare with me. Look for more FotW as the updates progress.

Life has slowly been picking up for me lately. I’m happy to say I’ve got a small, but steady amount of freelance work that’s mostly paying bills. And I’m just now getting into a groove of work to get ready for an awesome project that– when I can– I’m going to be super psyched to share with all of you.

It’s going to be some of the biggest news that I’ve ever had to share, and I hope you all will be as excited as I am.

Besides that, it’s just the same old, same old. I’m happy to finally be back at freelancing my way through life, and I’m completely happy with it. I don’t think I would be doing it though, if it wasn’t for the people I know. This is very much a “who you know” type of business. I’ve been very fortunate to fall into a group of people who like to help each other, not slit throats.

That’s one thing I’ve noticed about trying to get into comicbooks. It’s rare to find artists who look out for others as much as themselves. Or, at least that’s what I’ve seen. Maybe it’s different, and maybe it’s not. All I can tell you is that if it wasn’t for the people I’ve gotten to know over the last few months, I would’ve gone back to CVS a long while ago, while trying it again at the Art Institute. And speaking of school…

It’s funny to see the reaction when I tell people I’ve dropped out. Some are curious as of why, but most just kind of give me that “You’ve just fallen on my ‘cool people’ list” and say ok. The thing is, I’ve gotten further with drawing for a living, then I would’ve in the next 5 or so years with art school. I’m not saying school is bad in any way, it’s just not for me. Well, right now at least. I’m perfectly happy pursuing this on my own right now. Hell, on of my artist buddies is a teacher at the school I dropped out of, and he thinks I made the right choice.

Either way, I’m looking forward to what life has in store for me in the near and far future.
