So what has been going on with IndieOnly Comics these days?
Yes it’s true that IndieOnly has been in a state of hiatus ever since the Phoenix ComiCon in January. The reason being, plain and simply, was that I was burnt out on this process of creating and publishing my comics and other people’s work too. Dealing with other artists work was taking just too much of a toll on my time. Time away from my own projects, time away from just living life and doing things away from a drawing board and computer. The whole process of drawing and publishing was becoming a chore that I dreaded and the joy of it faded away. In it’s place I saw only work and deadlines (some self imposed). It was a break well deserved, earned and needed.
So what about the books IndieOnly put out?
Well, I still have a number of books that IndieOnly put out still in stock. They’ll always be available as long as there are copies to send out, but I won’t be publishing or showcasing any other artist’s work or stories.
If you’re not publishing other people’s work, then what are you doing?
You see, I’ll still be putting out my work. Bliss, maybe Plant Guy and any other things I feel like doing, but I’ll be working at my leisure and within my time-frame. Screw deadlines, even self-imposed ones! I’ve been getting back into my habit of drawing again and drawing for the enjoyment of it. I draw when I want and what I want.
Are you going to be putting out any more books?
Yes. I will still be working on and publishing Bliss. I’ll be wrapping up the pieces of issue 2 and have that available here on the site. From there I’ll be working on Bliss comics and will release chapters and books as they are complete. It is a kind of life long project after all I guess. When I finally put out Bliss issue 2 I’ll also release the final issue of Sequentially Tucson issue 3. It will be a very limited release available only here on the web site.
So that said, what now? Well, I’ll post some images from the Phoenix con and get Bliss 2 out there. After that, who knows? I’ll just keep drawing and every once and a while I’ll have another issue of Bliss done. After all, I’m just one guy drawing, writing, inking and publishing.
