Hey, folks! It's Gabe, and I've been busy. I've just recently started doing some things for myself, as you guys may already know by now (new comic, drawing more often, crossing off forgotten requests, trying out pinups, etc)... I truthfully just feel that, recently, I've been getting a serious dose of life and I'm really trying to change for the better as a person.

I mean, I get it, I'm not very constant with my work and I'm not very reliable when it comes to things like requests, debts and collaborative efforts. However, I have been trying to get better. Hell, just the other night, Kerwin and I discussed bringing back "Gabs with Kerwin Adventures"... "GABS WITH KERWIN ADVENTURES"!... Yeah, you remember that?... Do you know how long it's been since I've even discussed that or even came so close to bringing it up!? Forever ago. I am also, actually, going to get a fan comic and a comic sleeve cover that I promised for a friend done after the premiere of "Crime Tarders".

I'm just trying to get stuff done for myself before I get stuff done for others, but it's really difficult being a freelance artist working for free and disappointing people constantly. I really feel bad, you guys. I do. Sometimes, I feel like I've failed at what I want to accomplish as an artist (or friend) and that I'm too far ahead of myself that I just can't go back to things that I need to improve upon.

You know what, though?... I don't like putting prices on things a lot. As much as that might fuck me over in the long run, I just don't feel right about that at this point in my life. I'm not at a legal age to work in my city currently, so this is just a hobby I do next to school (which has also been kind of difficult, but that's something that I have to pull myself through).

I also tend to get too apologetic sometimes, and I've been told by several other different sources that I'm just too damn quiet. Let me put it into terms like this: I will not speak, a lot of the time (in person), unless I'm spoken to. I just put all of my thought into artwork and comics, I guess... I don't know... These things tend to piss people off sometimes, but I don't even worry about that. What I'm worried about, really, is that I want to be nice and understanding towards others, but I just don't know if I'm improving or getting worse sometimes. Maybe I'm just not good at being social, but that's beyond me.

Anyway, along with the sob-story, you also get real news. I'm almost done with the template of the first part of "Crime Tarders" Comic #1. I've also been trying to get the ball of, "Clide & Leo" rolling again. I've really been putting the topic under consideration, and I think that I'm going to start working on the scriptwriting and storyboarding once summer starts. I hate making deadlines, but I'll make sure to make it around that time. Now, about the series... Along with voices, I had some serious trouble finding people who were willing to help with this project. I had also had troubles with the soundtrack, specifically. I started talking to somebody whose been watching my content for quite some time now and I learned beforehand that he was quite the musician (and artist)! He was really up to doing it, and I look forward to working with him when that happens. DFerociousbeast is a really cool and talented guy, and I think that he deserves a little praise for helping me out. I really can't thank the guy enough.

I'm also drawing some really cool stuff recently, and some of it is for people. That's right, real people! haha But seriously, it's going to be great... Well, I can't stress enough how much I want to get that comic done and I just want to thank all of you guys so much for making every bit of this possible. It's really my fas that got me here, and I'm truthfully more than appreciative. Thank you all so much. Anyway, I've got to go. Catch ya later, guys!
