5 months since my last post, eh? Yikes, time to clean house!
(Jump to the end for the TL;DR version)

I've been making ok headway on my horrendous backlog, slow progress on my book, and some success launching my Patreons. While I've been peppier, more centered and more productive since I kicked my addiction a year ago I still haven't felt "all there" and I've especially wanted to put the afterburners on regarding latent commissions (getting insulting/harassing/threatening emails every few days gets old fast!)

So a week ago I finished jumping through the hoops to renew my decade dormant prescription for ADDeral and, damn, was that ever the missing piece or what? In just ONE WEEK I've managed to match my output of the entire previous MONTH. I feel present, attentive, and focused. I have both a newfound calm and a fresh drive.


Given all of this, it's time to mark your calendars. 2015 was the year Zill righted his wrongs, cleared his name, achieved new heights of both art and accomplishment:

*My supporters, friends, and true fans will get a 2nd coming of tasty art.
*My long suffering Kickstarter backers will get a book that's 10x better than what they would have received if I had somehow managed to deliver on time.
*Occasional "Doodles for Dollars" and backlog streams again!
*My harassing haters whom I owe work to will get my best efforts on their work (and then can shut up and never commission me again.)
*My haters who I DON'T owe artwork will get, gee, I dunno... I honestly don't know where YOU'RE coming from. Maybe you'll get a cup of coffee and a healthier perspective?
*My cats will get brushed more often. YOU might not care about this, but they'll LOVE me for it.


Anywho, I figured my return to FA would be rather feeble if I didn't have a bushel of new uploads for y'all so I'm gonna dump some right now and you can expect regular uploads, updates, and art in general from now on!





*********NOTE REGARDING OWED WORK AND HARASSMENT*********

I owe lots of you folks art. A small portion of those I owe have expressed their displeasure in less than becoming ways.

If you've politely noted me/emailed me (even several times) to state that you're exceptionally angry at me, disappointed with my follow-through, or simply don't like my face, DON'T WORRY you're fine in my book. You deserve your art and have a right to feel however you want about it and express it to me.

However, regarding those who have behaved/are thinking of behaving like a child/mafioso/shitbag about it: know that along with tightening up my ship on making good on owed work I'm ALSO done dealing with impotent attempts to somehow expedite your art with insults/harassment/legal threat/whatever.

*Going forward, anyone who shouts on my front page or comments on posted art in a manner that directly or passive-aggressively needles/snarks/harasses about owed work will be hidden and blocked from my gallery.
Your work will STILL be completed (in the same time and of the same quality that it would have if you WEREN'T shitty) and emailed to you. Even if you've proven to have no respect or regard to me I still got paid for it and you still deserve your work.

*Similarly, Notes/Emails will be treated with the same lack of tolerance for harassment, however as I stated above you're ALWAYS welcome to Note/Email me with inquiries about your commission (and if you really feel like it, you can state your anger/disappointment with me, even with the barest of politeness. I don't blame you, I'M angry at me too!)
