Blog 11-3-15 – Things are late, and unfortunately will continue to be late

Hello followers and viewers. I value my schedule highly, and I believe I have done a good job over the last long while of keeping up with that schedule. That being said, if you view my content with any regularity you will have seen that I have been late the past few weeks on a few things, and have unfortunately exceeded previous records of my own lateness. This is especially not fun for me with my comics, which I consider the core of my online content.

Now I don’t want to just make excuses, but I have had a few things happen recently that have made progressing more difficult. I moved into a “limbo” situation that has not gotten resolved as quickly as I had hoped, and makes my work and living environments undesirable from a “getting things done” or “moving around comfortably in clear spaces” kind of way. I’ve also had to change jobs to one with irregular hours that prevents me from being in “work mode” for my various comic and article writing/drawing. And finally I have a large project I’ve been working on with a very hard deadline that is very behind schedule. I’ll talk about that more as it nears completion.

So with all of those things I was still able to be on top of things for a while, but it wasn’t going to last. And it looks like things will be problematic for a little while longer. I hope you can bear with me while I work this out, and I hope to have all of the items I have been late on and caught up to all of the new content by the end of November, but it might end up closer to the end of the year. I hope you enjoy the content regardless and I hope your holiday season is less stressful than mine is going to be.

Best Wishes,

Austin Smith

Blog 10-16-15

(I really wanted this to be on 15-15 but alas)

Okay guys, quick couple of updates.

  1. No Wednesday extra thing obviously, and maybe not next week either, I have to take a trip soon and I’m working on several large projects with a deadline of next month so I’m a bit swamped right at the moment, but I will try and get one done.
  2. That art show I mentioned before that I will be in has been postponed. More information will be coming, but not as soon as I’d hoped.

And that’s it for now.

Blog – 10-7-15

It looks like my additional post Wednesday is just becoming Blog Wednesday. Anyway, I’m going to keep it short. I had another migraine yesterday that put me out for the entire day and most of today. So things from Wednesday to Thursday will be a bit late coming out.

But in good news I will be displaying my art in a show in Alpine Texas with two other wonderfully talented people, more details will be coming about that soon, like when, where, and with whom.

The End of the Communication Box

Hello Communication Box (and Dragon Company) viewers. This update is to inform you that the Communication Box published on October 1st 2015 will be the last one published (until I find more of them to do or there’s more interest). It will be a special one, with 134 questions included (from Table Topics not your Mother’s Dinner Party) however.

It wasn’t my favorite decision to make, especially since I’ve had to put on hiatus a few other projects this year. But the interest in the project just isn’t there, and there are only so many unique boxes of questions in the world. This box is the last one that I own, and I haven’t been able to find more since I got the last one. So this one will be the last for a while. I had hoped, and still hope, that others would be interested in the project and submit their own answers. This Blog won’t be going away, and I will be checking back, so please feel free to submit and I will publish the answers. Until then, if you have been, thank you for viewing.

Recap Rethought

Okay, this update is going to be really quick. I’ve said before in a few Blogs that I was going to be doing a “weekly recap” on Saturdays on Tumblr. This has not happened, because of several factors, including: the way my day works, the difficulty that arises when I try to do the specific format that I want, my laziness, and the fact that I keep wondering how I could do it better. So I just want to correct myself and say that I will not be doing recaps (as I unfortunately haven’t been) until I have found a way that works well enough for me to consider it again, and hopefully this way will be available to more than just Tumblr followers.

Thank you,

Austin
