Hey all! Summer has been more eventful than ever for me this year. There has been quite a bit goin' on over

the last few months, so I wanted to talk a bit about what I did and what I've been working on!

Just like last year, I attended the big meetup at the Too Many Games Expo. On top of spending a whole week with my good friends, once again I got to meet a bunch of other Newgrounders in person. Despite all the funny bits about online artists being anti-social, this website always seems to facilitate people coming together in a fantastic way! Big shoutout to

@CorTat-G and @DrewPBalls for nailing it again this year. If I met YOU (yes you) out there, uuhhhh hi!

After that, it was a lot of personal traveling, Stuff with friends and family outside of the site. I made sure to not to neglect art while I was out and about, but I really only had time for some sketching and a good amount of writing. I do always love a trip to the Great Lakes, and Canada was also pretty neat (minus the goofy ass paper straws). What I mean to say is, if you're wondering why uploads have been sparse, I've barely been at home, lol.

Not to say I haven't been making ANYTHING. Far from it! Chapter 5 of Firewood is well into production right now. Since things are begining to wind down for the year, I'll have a lot more time to crank it out. I've been dropping little behind the scenes bits here and there on twitter, but here I've got the first two pages! (Apologies if the screentones look weird in the post)

If you've been reading Firewood up to this point, thank you!!! I have an absolute blast working on this thing, so when I hear about folks enjoying themselves reading it (some of y'all were at TMG <3) it feels indescribable. If you haven't read it yet, have a look! A kid throws a whole ass coyote with his mind in chapter 3, it's great!

One last thing, my good bud @Bacun has a makeship campaign going on! If you're on Newgrounds a lot, I KNOW y'all like Rebutia, so consider giving the campaign some love!

Anyhow, that's it outta me! See y'all around the next comic or painting or perhaps when festival shenanigans start up again ;)
