Well, there you go. Probably enough art to fill two portfolios, and a handful of stories. Hope you had fun!

This question comes up, so I might as well answer it again.

I started posting stuff on the internet almost right out of college, when one of my earliest supporters offered me space for a website. I played around, did some games, did some art, had a good time, had some good response, but that was nothing like the outpouring of attention I got when I started posting on FA.

I really feel like I got the 'Facebook' experience years before Facebook was a thing -- performing to an audience, addicted to the attention and praise, spending as much time preening over comments as I did actually drawing. Like a lot of people, I came to a conclusion that I was spending all my time feeding this urge, and nothing else was getting done. So, I stopped posting.

Now, I kept drawing. But I went back to drawing for me, not to please an audience. And without that obligation hanging on me, I rediscovered my love for my hobby. I also saw the use in the community as a check on that kind of meanness that creeps in when a smut cartoonist starts to age. I just realized I had to keep the interaction limited.

So, that's why I only post for a limited time each year. Strict boundaries. That way, I can have fun without getting trapped.

That does mean it comes to an end, and here we are for another year :) I'll check comments for another week or so, and then the light will go off. Notes will go unread for months in my FA inbox, so if you've got stuff you wanna say, I'd do it now while I'm still checking on a daily basis.

Thanks!
