I haven't posted any new comics in quite some time, frankly, I feel like I need a long break before I return to making new ones. Feel sort of bad leaving Dogtown unfinished, but hey, there are worse things in life than leaving a comic incomplete.
I am also dedicating more of my time towards painting, and making "serious" art. I am proud over a lot of the comics I've made, but I feel like making a change and going down a different path. I'll start sharing bits and pieces of my art on Instagram. Maybe I'll use Tumblr, too.
Anyways, here's a choose-your-own-adventure story I did on Twitter some years ago (I think maybe 2019?) Thought I'd post it here, because I think it's kinda funny in places and the art is somewhat neat maybe. This is part 1.
Hi, Fred here. No new comic today, in fact, I am feeling inclined to take a long break from making comics. I will finish Dogtown, but I'm feeling quite jaded when it comes to webcomic community, especially since starting to post my stuff on Reddit. There's this kind of hostility towards any works that try to experiment and do something different. Certain people expect every comic to be like Garfield, and if it isn't, then it's not a "real" comic.
I want to do more painting. I made these over the course of five or so days. Acrylics on canvas.
