I don’t like to do resolutions at the very beginning of the year, I think they can be disingenuous and are likely to fail. But I find myself in a unique position: everything seems to have all come to this point.
Usually, I see these points and try to act, often missing out for various reasons. But I think this new year brings a different feeling, one I haven’t felt in a long time: hope.
After a very long last year (filled with both highs and lows), I’m at a point where I can take destiny into my own hands. I’ve decided to do just that, and, as the man says, “Though the road may wind, yea, your hearts grow weary, still shall ye follow them, even unto your salvation”.
I can see a number of things on my horizon, and a number of things I pledge to do to help make it happen. Though I may sometimes may get hampered by life this year, I intend to:
1. have a brand new, full piece of art done every month
2. do sketching of some kind every day
3. Do at least one art blog a week, and (hopefully) keep the brand new monthly Apex Blog for the year
4. Launch a webcomic strip with a good friend and author
5. Complete (and hopefully sell) a full children’s book with another author
6. Complete a full graphic novel with a UK author
7. Change the daily life so that it’s not so stressful and not so technical
8. Have fun with life, family, friends whenever possible.

That’s quite a bit to accomplish, but I’m off to a good start. I just came back from my first time as a guest and being in an art show, at the great VisionCon (more on that later), and here is the first of the daily sketches.
Time to get this show a’ rockin’.
