Journal 20/Feb/2023 – 26/Feb/2023

A week of slight frustrations, where I’d genuinely thought I’d lost the ability to get work done at any sort of speed. Felt like a slog some days to even get two pages of crude pencils done. 

BUT! ultimately – 20 pages of pencils done, one final page and that’ll be the last page of the last chapter of bad Magic – the Skulduggery Pleasent graphic novel done and it’s on to inks. Really looking forward to getting it finished (there’s some fun pages to ink too)

Monday I’ll get that last page done, then spend a couple of days doing the leopard from Lime Street. 

We have mice again. Flipping mice. So some amount of time was spent just laying traps and reassuring my wife who is freaking out.

Once Bad Magic is done (I’m planning for it to be finished Mid-March) I have a couple of scripts I can do, but I’m waiting on more things! It’s that time where you start looking around and snuffling for work. It’s hard because you find yourself in a position where your criteria for a project is more than just “can I get paid for this” you have to consider “is this a good use of my time” “does this progress my career in some hard to define, blurry fashion” and also “can I get paid for this”

ANYWAY… I leave you with a silly reference photo…
