Dear Janolytes,

I hate a congested week. I do.  Right now I feel like i have a litany of art tasks to do before I start a new project which I HOPE FINALLY comes to fruition.

Spoiler Alert, Its one of the Stones I was looking for starting in 2017. *

*see literally any issue that discuss shoots started in Fall 2017 and Spring 2018.

*deep sigh

I need to dive into a video game coma, I do. Or just exist without any task to do.

Anyway time for the debut of Azure Ascendance Issue 8.

Heavy Yeet.

There isn’t much back story to this actually but we can flash back. It was 2020, the world was on lockdown…mostly. Niggas were mad they couldn’t get haircuts…..smh.I stayed home from cotton field 10 and eventually quit that cotton laced trenched field.

Literally, it made shirts and hoodies. YES NIGGA I WAS IN THE COTTON FIELD.

During the day it was Anime and Spider man on PS4. At night it was me in a coloring coma, averaging at least 2 images a night.

YESSS LAWWWWD *Anderson Paak voice.

It was giving the joy of 2016 and 2017 before I headed back to the slave pits. I think this issue only took me a few weeks in April of 2020 while just discovering Awich. While also rediscovering my love of J Pop and learning new K pop artist. I made a playlist that became a monster in hours.

And that is it. See what happens when there isn’t any fuckery, it is a clear concise story not a game of thrones level drama. Actually lets say an Expanse level drama, I just finished that this week along with Fire Force season 3.

ANYWAY

Level 8 of Azure Ascendance goes as follows

Ikari is on the move. Knowing who is responsible for the death of her mother Hannya,she makes her way to the Posei Kingdom. Boumei, Coco, and Sapphire also head towards to Posei to warn the Empress about the oncoming threat. Will they succeed in warning the Posei Kingdom, or will Ikari manage a successful ambush and assassination?

Damn this is a short issue….I’m not a fan but I am since it was simple.

Hmmm.

UMMMM.

1 of my pieces were accepted into a exhibition. I went to the opening a few days ago. It was a chill time. There was food, music, and a genuine wholesome time. Kinda a lot with interaction of people….or maybe I’m just exhausted.

The curators told me that even though they were in a church setting they like art of all types even if it disagreed with those go to that church. THATS WHATS UP!!!

My name is Jano Ryusaru and I approve this message. We nee more people like that.

Can I pass out in my bed and chill for like a month. Can I?

I thought i would be seeing Kiya Lacey, but her show got canceled Whack and deep sigh…but at least I got to see Doechiii.

Anyway that all folks I’m about to watch The Nightmare before Christmas. I can full attest that Oogie Boogie is a full nigga, and Jack Skeleton is a selfish colonizer asshole.

Oh yea before I forget I finally made Hoodies with art from my comic.

And I made a discord for Team Janolytes just cuz Cult Shit Nigga.
