ISSUE 042

We’re building a garden shed to accompany the green house, again headed by the father-in-law, the master builder.

Just one topic for this dispatch: I just wanted to say that I’m putting the newsletter on hiatus for a while.

I’ve been too tired to track and recall what I’ve been doing, let alone to construct a somewhat cohesive page from it.
I’m also disconnecting from most ‘social’ parts of the internet. There’s not much I’m active on these days, just Instagram and a couple of Discords. But it’s costing me more energy than I’m getting out of it. Not sure what I’ll be doing with my Instagram. I might close it down eventually but it’s one of the only places I ‘track’ things in a visual way.
Underpinning all this, is the plain fact I’m getting burnt out. I can draw some parallels with what happened around 2015 or so, when a few things collided and I basically stopped drawing comics completely. I don’t want to get to that point again so I’m pausing a few things and taking a look at the stressors while I still find fun in my creative projects.

I hope you’re doing alright. Don’t forget to take a sit down and take a breather sometimes. See you in a while. Possibly with some comics and definitely with a new garden shed.
