Journal 12 - Random Moments of Peace & Clarity


That’s what my life revolves around now. Like when it’s 4am, the baby’s asleep, Samantha’s asleep, I’ve just put a fresh load of laundry in, and I’m sitting down to do some long overdue character turnarounds and designs. These little moments are magical when I can get them. Stress and worry just slip away and it’s so easy to see what needs to be done.

In other news, this piece here is currently being inked by Diana Greenhalgh for publication by Digital Webbing Press in a future BloodRayne comic book. I’ve also opened up my Deviant Art shop and have just a few items up for sale as prints and mugs. I’ll be adding more as I get the chance.

And I’ve got a few mystery projects in the works, but you’ll just have to wait for more details on those.

Take care,
Daniel

Journal 11

A Month and a Half

We’ve had little Violet Eve in our lives for a month and a half and we just adore her. We’ve been peed on and pooped on. We’ve had sleepless nights. We’ve had times when we thought she just wouldn’t calm down, or stop crying, or fall asleep. And we wouldn’t trade it for anything. It hasn’t been easy, but I wouldn’t say it’s been hard either. When the little miss needs something, a change, a bottle a burp, or maybe just a dance around the house, it doesn’t matter how tired you are, or how many times you’ve already done it today, or if you even want to do it all. It doesn’t matter, you just do it. And she rewards you for it. She smiles or gurgles, or she looks at you with those deep gray eyes, and you know why you’re doing it. It makes her happy, and that’s all that really matters.

Take care,
Daniel
