Over the last 3 years, this site documented a lot of my own emotional roller-coaster ride, fits of depression, and creative surges. As Adam and I knocked out page after page of Fabricari, Ad Hoc, I found myself wound up in the frenzy of self-promotion and hype. And drama.

Along the way I made a lot of friends, but I also pissed a few people off with my flapping mouth. The world got smaller, and I got a little bit smarter. Well, at least, I have a different perspective. Hell, my tastes have changed. Imagine the confusion when you watch a video I made with industrial tracks, then later have to endure my journey into folk music and banjo playing! I've gone from drawing "sexy cyberpunk" to historical adventure comics.

Anyway, one thing that persistencey on the Internet doesn't document too well is growth and maturity. All the crap gets lumped together with your best moments. I don't entirely regret or disagree with everything I'd posted in the past three years, I just don't feel like it needs to be out there anymore.

A little while back, I received an earnest e-mail from someone who read some really old drunken ramblings - stuff I posted on some late Winter nights at the peak of some nasty depression. This person was really concerned about my health. I genuinely appreciated the concern, but we're talking about stuff I wrote years ago! Time to purge!

So, there you go - a clean slate.

Also, there's been a couple changes. Granted, the site's design is horribly dated, but as for how it's organized, I was able to make some improvements. This site's less of a web-comic strip than it is a comic archive and sketch-blog now.

The comics have been moved off of the front page and into easy-to-read archives. For the first time, I've stitched all the partial pages from Fabricari, Ad Hoc together so that you can read them as the full graphic novel pages they're meant to be read as. I think it's going to create a much more pleasant reading experience. I've also moved some of the other short stories I've worked on into their own archives, as well.

I have plans to bring you tons of new comics. It's just that they're gonna be all over the place, and they'll be of a much wider variety than "sexy robot violence". (Ugh, I shudder when I hear those cheap key words intended solely to drive in traffic.) I'm real close to debuting The Mystic - that new comic that Jon Morris and I are already knee deep working on. I'm also working on a few more short stories - one of which Adam's writing.

Since I started drawing comics and posting them on the web, they've come up with that really handy RSS technology. So I figure, at worst, you can subscribe to the fabricari rss feed, and whenever there's a new comic, page or sketch - this is the place to start. Or if you're more of a Live-Journal person, I post everything, and more, over there.

At the peak of my self-promotion frenzy, I really became obsessed with that site traffic. Since I finished Fabricari and started researching the new books - traffic inevitably tapered off, but there's still a healthy group of you showing up, and I appreciate that. I'm sure when we start posting new pages, the frenzy will begin again - I just hope I've learned a thing or two about maintaining my sanity.
