Had since finished my internship with Splash last year and went back to school. A lot had happened over a span of almost 4 months! I started my own etsy store NGEW where I sold my handmade crafts and poster prints. I even participated in the Maad flea in December and made alot of sales! (must be the christmas season) But due to school and pending freelance projects on hand, I couldnt further develop NGEW and come up with new designs. I have some new design ideas which I hope to find time to execute during my free time. Currently I still have some sales but it's moving very very slowly ._.
Another *BIG* thing which happened during the past 4 months, was my development of a new comic strip called 'The Adventures of Fatman & Superchub'
They are actually a parody of Batman & Superman. I was actually getting sick of how super heros are illustrated as macho muscle men and sexy women with not a single ounce of belly fat.
Maybe the idea came when I was subconsciously insulting myself for putting on weight since depression and also subconsciously telling myself I look fine now...
Anyway I was drawing for fun when Kenny from Books Actually noticed them on my facebook page and said 'I want to publish them.'
Obviously I didn't take him seriously at first because the low self esteemed Muffin would say 'Meh, your work is shit.' BUT HE WAS SERIOUS! And I was like wondering 'Are you serious about your job? Who the hell wound wanna publish this crap?'
Yes Kenny if you are ever reading this, feel free to punch me. In fact you can punch me and throw me towards Cake and let him swipe me in the face if the actually succeeds. HAHAHA
Anyway, Fatman & Superchub book will be out this year, and I've joined forces with a team of wizards (and witches) to brew something BIG for you guys this September. Muahahaha.
Meanwhile you can check out my sketches of Fatman & Superchub's adventures and keep up to date with my work on my new facebook page

Sometimes I will also draw random sketches of my own adventures.
