Dear Janolytes,

I’m fucking exhausted. On Kami Bro.

Exhausted as fuck.

Fuck Cottonfield 12 and this upgraded super slave season. No amounts of Yoga and sleep seem to be enough for the amount of Big Brown Cardboard Rape that I have experienced for the last few weeks and will face in the next few weeks. If you couple that with the stuff I have to do outside of work that pertains to my personal projects. It’s a never ending door of fuckery.

At least I got to see JID perform in the midst of all this box rape.

Here’s hoping for my freedom and that cottonfield 13 involves me working at a desk and I can do some tasks while I’m getting paid.

FUCK. I just need to be paid to exist. That is it. These trenches are pain Morty.

Anyway as Fionna Apple sings in the background, I type out what will prob be last issue of the year.

But Jano why?

Well it is December. Plus this was supposed to be last months issue, but ya know life plus slavery equals exhaustion.  On the bright side I won a Nintendo Switch in the Trenches today.  Yay.

I hope I can get my freedom now.

Anyway Adventure time come on tell a friend.

This Arc takes place in Spring of the disastrous of 2022. It was around my Bday and was casually scrolling and I saw my home boy cosplay as Akuma. Within the same time frame I saw this girl cosplay as Cammy.

*Wheels turned and light bulb starts to flicker on.

Hold up. Could I do that idea that randomly hit me in the summer of 2k16 when I was helping him move?

Jano what?

So back in 2016 I was helping him move to an apartment and while crossing the parking lot I thought about doing a Street Fighter shoot. The initial thought was an amalgamation vs match, someone from Street Fighter and someone from another anime.  But I let it pass, not sure why but here we are 6 years later…..which had the same calender year ……as 2016……interesting…….

I saw that they were following each other and messaged him about the whole idea and asking did they actually know each other.

The moment when you wanna do a shoot but you need to make sure that this random white girl knows at least 1 black person there.

Jano did you know her? Nah bruh. Following someone does not equaling knowing them personally  Spoiler Alert.

He got back to me and told me they were actually friends and would be down for the idea. Yeet. I messaged her and told her about my idea and that our mutual friend would be down. She was down too.

Heavy yeet bro.

My Birthday came and I Vibed out to Tyler the Creator’s concert. Kali Uchis has such a fat ass, OMG. But the day after I took a walk in the area that I thought would be a good idea to do this concept. Ironically it was the same area where I did a shoot in 2016.

Kinda.

I went further down the tracks than I did with my home girl cuz when intuition speaks you listen. The tracks led to a train yardsh area with a view of the city.

Ding Ding Ding we have a winner.

Side note, the Lorax would be upset with the amount of gentrification that had occurred in the 6 years since. had been there. Some of those apartments were not there when I shot her.

Colonizing fucks.

Anyway.

I emailed both of them of my findings and they were down. All we had to do after that was to pick a w.end to do it. Which wasn’t that arduous. I told them I wanted it to happen before Summer became full blaze as fuck since they were going to be in costume, preferably around sunset.

Side note, Summer doesn’t officially start until June BUT it gets summer hot around the 1st week May. Shout out to global warming for fucking us up in various ways.

It didn’t happen until  early June due to varying schedules. I let them know about where they could park and the meeting area.

I promise the most I give a fuck is when I am doing something for my art journey. Thats it. Coordinating skills are at max capacity on my skill tree.

The week of this shoot I had to choreograph this whole event and figure out how to make these regular people look like the characters I played growing up. Idk who needs to hear this, but regular niggas don’t have powers.

No Super Jumps, No Hadokens, No Glowing Kicks, Nothing.

I’m sorry if I busted your bubble bro.

I went online and studied the characters they said they were going to be and looked at their move set. I hate that I barely play video games anymore, I really do. I hate being an adult.

But I made a google document with the moves and notes of how I would present them on camera. Before the match would start I would have them do the pose for each move. For the aerial moves I had them pose on a step stool and hope they wouldn’t fall.

Jano you didn’t have this all figured out before this?

Hell No nigga. My toxic trait is that I procrastinate and tackle each project as I get close to it. Did I plan this in March 2022? Yes. But also I had 3 shoots prior,  prepping for vendoring events, plus other things around that time and still trying to work on my comic.

Don’t worry. I’m gonna be alright and the  results will be fine. Top tier bro.

The day arrived and I went to the location first  and let them know I arrived. Swole Cage showed up first and we caught up briefly since I hadn’t seen him since his Bday party in February. Good times. Cammy arrived shortly after and we began to walk to the area I had picked. I told them the same thing I told my home girl 6 years prior, that I’m pretty sure the track is dead but we shouldn’t walk on it just in case.

We were out there for roughly 2.5 hours. Both of them prepared their outfits and talked about how it was going to go. We decided the winner via coin flip.

Spoiler Alert it was 3 rounds.

I had them do poses for the character title card, then their super move poses. Then we proceeded to choreograph the 3 rounds.
Shit was fun.

We finished up right before it started to get dark. I told them I would have the images ready within a few weeks. The editing process was different this time because of special effects. I divided the images up by rounds and did the basic edits. After that it was the special powers. For all the moves I had them do I chose to get graphics from the 32 bit era of video games. X- Men vs Street fighter, Street Fight Alpha, etc. Whichever was on Sega Saturn and Playstation, yep I want that.

Bias as fuck.

I did have to go back to the area I shot them at to re shoot just  the area because I had compose some images with their powers interacting with each other.

After that it was character icons and health bars. I had never knowingly messed with a png file prior to this.

Yea it was a lot. I would come home from work after being unknowingly learn shit that was gonna be null in void real quick and come home to work on this. Flash backing on this period of time is hitting me with a litany of feelings considering how some things ended up.

Wait what?

Nothing.

Anyway the images for this shoot are here. Go Play have fun like Shredder said in TMNT 2 Secret of the Ooze.

I know following is important for people now, so here are Akuma’s  and Cammy’s Ig pages.  Shout out to the homes for helping bring this project to life. Miss ya’ll.

Moral of the Story, as Tyler the Creator said Everything is Figure out able. Part of me would do this again. Maybe I will one day, but right now prob not cuz of other projects I wanna do.

Plus I’m so over all the things I keep adding to my plate.

Like I said this will prob be the last issue of the year because of super slave season.

Fuck Cotton Field 12 and all fields similar. At least I got this Switch in the process.

Reparations.

Happy Holidays Janolytes.

Dear Janolytes,

I am currently typing this exhausted from the field and from errands post field. Again I say waking up after the sun for the field is a privilege.

I’m legit too tired to segue this into the current social climate of this world.

Maybe next time.

SMH, at least I can type this with Ta-ku playing in the background. The spirit of 2016 still lives within in me. There is joy in being unemployed, playing video games, chilling with your friends and working on your craft.

YESS LAAAAWD* Anderson Paak voice.

Anyway, this actually a simple issue. No brain storming of a concept, no arduous model search, no fuckery and the rare event of me getting paid for my skills.

Heavy YEET to that deposit….that hasn’t happened since spring 2022…..

Anyway Flashback to 2022 I was at Cotton field 11 super slaves season ended and I would joke with my fellow slave when we weren’t making sure the cotton  was getting sent out.

Simple times in the field indeed.

 

At some point maybe around her bday in February, we talked about doing a shoot for her birthday but then sickness engulfed her body. Eventually we just agreed to do it when it got warm, which worked out because as I sit here trying to recall that time frame alot was happening in life.

*insert flashbacks of coloring my book, prepping to vendor for shows, and planning how to do shoot.

May arrived and I went location scouting, because that is what you do when you need to  figure out where you are going to shoot someone. I got my steps as I gathered visual intel. I sent her my usual visual grid of where I think would be a good location. She saw it  and was down.

I told you this is a simple issue.

 

We agreered that I would pick her up that Saturday  and go to the location. Slave Nigga oppression heat was beginning to saturate the Earth on this Saturday afternoon. After she got ready we headed to NODA and Bip Boom Bam we did the photography thing. It was fun. We joked around  and that was all folks.

That is legit the whole story. No plot twist, no schedule conflicts because of life, nothing. This is as rare as unicorn eating Cheetos on fresh snow.

Anyway to see my fellow slave bro who escaped the trenches of cotton field 11 way before it shut down, click here.

This issue feels lacking in sarcasm and depth. Maybe because of recent weeks. I had to  get ready  to sell my wares for the first time in 3 years at Charlotte Asian Film Festival.

One of home girls who helped me with a project passed away.

Then 2 weeks later I was at The Urban Fantasy Ball, which was arduous since I had to find out I had to buy a whole new 4ft table since 6ft weren’t gonna fit. Shout to return policies and QR code menus I made.

Today I did an Issue 3 book drop at 2 local indie bookstores. Joy is when you don’t have to jump through hoops to get you comic series in stores near you.

Yea I’m tired.

I think I’m gonna play video games for once and veg out.

Until next time Janolytes.

Moral of the story……fuck this adult shit.

 

 

The 2.5 year leap and Season 3 preview

Dear Janolytes,

*deep breath*

Hey.

This is kinda odd.

But Jano Why?

Because I haven’t posted anything in damn near 3 years. Yea 2022 was a time, an existential evoking time. FUCK.

So much to the point where I logged off like Kriz Kaliko.There is peace in not knowing wtf is going on with anyone. It is. The only thing I checked was Twitter for Hilarity and tumblR was random interest. In retrospect I needed it, but as a result I’ve lost my voice. Now I’m hesitant to stick my foot in the ocean. I think this will be the issue when I walk on the shore before I jump in.
*rubs face while saying shit.
Honestly at some point I had drafted a whole different issue, but re reading it I’m not in that head space any more and alot has happened since when I initially wrote it.
So where do I start.

Well the concept of death and time will choke you while it strokes you with no lube. Spoiler Alert.
I tried to enjoy time with my friends and family because of the above sentence. I went on alot of Side quests, some of which I got pictures of. I ran into people i never thought I’d see again. Met a whole new cast. I finally got my chest tattooed, and my nose pierced. I had a bearded dragon who was the sweetest scaley bum, but he passed away in a horrific bloody death. Cotton field 11 ended like my spider sense projected, now I’m at cotton field 12 where I contemplate how did I get here and when will I leave since I’m not getting shutting down vibes. (Fuck this job) I threw my first art show. I finished my comic book.

Right!!! Finally!!!

Got some shoots done that were a challenge creatively, but turned out amazingly. Still have some that i want to do. Went to my 1st rave while seeking new raves. Tried some new hair styles. Made a choice to believe in myself as much as i do these groups that somehow lead to a dead end as I have many existential episodes . Realized that their should be a study of how niggas transform into duplicitous nigga niggas (Shit is fucking wild). So many concerts. So many (See list below)

Tyler the Creator, Kali Uchis, Halsey, Snoh Aalegra, H.E.R, Ravyn Lanae, Rina Samayama, Masego, Ella Mai, Nova Twins, Janet Jackson, Paramore, Gym class heroes, Issiah Rashad, Childish Gambino, Rapsody, Jhene Aiko, Gary Clark Jr.

Decided to pursue my creative therapy dreams in my own way. Started doing Yoga. Played Disc Golf. Went to Blerd con. Started a new Art project. Tried Mushrooms. Trying to keep my plants alive while learning and recycling soil from those didn’t make it. Learned how much I can disassociate. Learned that I don’t have it in me to argue with people, bruh I promise I have no fucks but I have gum like CoCo from Dear white people. Learned that when you feel the vibes shift an arc is about to end. You can leave willingly or life will force you out that will evoke emotions that I’m not a fan of.

Please don’t piss me off,I legally can’t murder you so it doesn’t serve me.

“I don’t speak on it anymore, I just Meditate.” ~ Rapsody

Learned if you don’t slow the fuck down, life will take a sledge hammer to your knees. Learned Hedonism is a must in this rancid world because that life path perfection isn’t real so celebrate the wins you can get. Learned everyone’s journey is different, however saying that doesn’t pacify you when you feel like you haven’t gone anywhere compared to others.

None of this is in chronological order by the way.

*stops in the sand and glances in the ocean.

So yeah that is where I’ve been, roughly. At this point in my life I just want balance. Balance between my art projects, friends and family, video games, reading.  College level simplicity and fun. If i can avoid crashing out while on my path to being an Art idol that would be great. I just want a certain level of whelm in my life,no over whelming is desired.

Do I really want to get back online? Its a mix.
As I said there is peace in being offline, absolute peace. But also I have to promote myself as an artist, plus I really miss talking shit. OMFG. Its hard.

So hard.
But here we are. Me standing at the edge of the ocean self reflecting over the past few years and wondering where am I going on this JRPG.

*deep breath and steps back into the water.

So what does that mean for this website? I use to try to adhere to a monthly schedule…..but fuck all that.
Now it will be whenever I feel like it. Realistically it’ll probably be every other month.
But Jano why?
Simple, despite me being gone for the past 3 years I don’t have alot of issues ready to publish. It’s been more of the same people say they want to do something, I say ok koolio, and what follows is crickets. My spider sense is pretty accurate when I feel that nothing will happen. And at this point I don’t have it in me head to chase anyone down, less than I did in previous years. People know what they want, or have whole lives that take priority over working with me. I made peace with that. Long gone are the days of me counting on someone’s money, I’ll count it when it actually hits my account.

Jano that is kinda bleek.

It is what it is bro. I made peace with alot of things. My toxic trait is that I’m not letting these niggas stress me out and I will water my spiritual garden.

“I’m on my give grace, get peace, zen shit” ~ Kota the Friend.

Side note, I’m not giving grace. Niggas can go suffer. Thats where I am at emotionally.

Remember also I have a whole comic series that I just finished.
YEET.
YEP AZURE ASCENDANCE IS FINALLY FUCKING DONE NIGGAS!!!! HOLY FUCK. The day I colored that last page a year ago I clapped like I never clapped, SCREMT like I never SCREMT. Draxus looked so concerned.
Nigga did you say SCREMT?
Yes nigga SCREMT!!!!
But there are 15 issues left of my 20 issue series, so between that and my photoshoots I may end up posting more issues than I initially said. I haven’t’ figured it out yet.
Eh.

Back to doing shows and trying to get my books in stores since the 1’s that existed have unfortunately shut down. You realize what you are capable of when you have time to reflect about your life. Bitch I am a whole Feature, you should appreciate your good fortune if I even acknowledge you.

“I AM THE HYPE”  ~ Team Four star Vegeta

The stark contrast is that you don’t even exist to me.

“You’re dead to me.” ~ Kali Uchis
” You don’t even exist to me!” ~ Nancy from the Craft
“Bitch, I cut my granny off if she don’t see it how I see it” ~ Kendrick Lamar

Any of the these quote falls would suffice to summarize the above statement.

Moral of the story, I lost my mind and with that I had to  find myself.

Mostly.

Or something like that.

Success will look different for me compared to everyone else, but I won’t know if I don’t leave this island I’ve been on for the past few years.

So while I continue dive walk back to the ocean here is a preview of what I did in seclusion.

“Let me talk my shit, oh, I’m on fire” ~ Flo Mili

Damn I’m typed more than I planned.

Eh, As if.

Anyway here is a preview of whats to come.Have fun JanoLytes.

 

New Book Series: Azure Ascendance Level 5

Dear Janlolytes,

Well this isn’t this awkward, not the Charles Hamilton Cd but like actually awkward. I haven’t said anything in a good few month since the season 2 finale. This isn’t public speaking, but damn I legit don’t know how to start this off.

Legit just heard a voice that said TAKE YA TIME PASTOR!!

For me that means I’ll just word vomit as Friday Night Plans plays in the background. OMG I love her so much.I do.

A lot has happened since the last issue. When I say a lot I mean a lot. This is my first Saturday when I have not left the house in fucking months. I will start off by saying I didn’t go speak at my homegirls daughters school like i was asked to, things got busy on my end. Maybe next time on DBZ I’ll get to inspire the youth with my JRPG level art journey. Now that will beyond awkward, for me at least. Spoiler Alert, I am not a role model ya’ll, I’m not….at least I don’t think so. But it is possible that I inspire someone the way anime and comics inspired me, and still do.

Money also inspires me, and not having to work at bullshit cotton fields.My toxic treat is that I hope the cotton field I shuck and jive at closes down and I’m not too tired to work on my comic series. And there ya have it folks the segue to what this issue is about.

Heavy Yeet.

I just finished an issue, so by Yeet Gawd logic I release an issue. It makes sense right? Side note, I legit finished this issue in 2017. Again I say I don’t know why I took so long to release it, but it prob was a good thing. One of my friends has been reviewing my grammar since I’m not smarter than 5th grader. See kids when you work bullshit jobs that don’t involve grammatical skills, you forget simple things like where do you insert a comma. I wish i was lying but NOPE.

As of right now she has reviewed issues 1-13. The next batch i send her will be issues 14-20, but that is when I’m completely done with this epic. I just finished issue 15 and as of right now I have 240 pages. Here is hoping the last 5 will feel like doing the first 5.

I hope.

My goal is to abstain from doing art shows and being a merchant as much as I can, because this past year I was really on tour. I can be satiated being out of the public eye to work on my magnum opus. Doing shows is a lot, a lot my nigga. We can talk about that next time tho. But once I finish this series in its entirety I prob will release issues in a faster method.

Did anyone go yay? Or is that feeling of ain’t no one checking for me correct.

Hey Google play Feel by Kendrick Lamar.

Sorry existential September is on the way and that wave has been washing over my ankles lately and my socks are drenched.

Shit.

At any rate issue 5 is here and thus the end of Act 1 of this JRPG level story.

Synopsis time.

Watatsumi and Kagutsuchi arrive and time to stop Abyssals rampage. But now they must face the one who is responsible for this ordeal. Secrets will finally be revealed as emotions fly high on the battlefield.

Of course it is available on Amazon.

And a preview of said issue is here.

That is it for now. The next issue will be ummmm Idk. I can’t say for certain when Season 3 will start, but at least you have 2 seasons to re read to hold ya over until then.

Kinda the way DBZ took forever to get to season 3 with the fight with the remain Ginyu Force members and Freeza.

FUCK, i promise it won’t take that long.

Spoiler Alert.

4 part Season Finale Via Erratic Time leaps

Dear Janolytes,

Yea y’all read that correctly this is a season finale. A 4 part season finale IN Black History Month.

But Jano what do you mean a 4 part season finale?

Excellent question. In case you forgot the point of my photo portion of my JRPG Bizarre Art Journey was to get more experience working with models since I’ve mostly done events. However as of now I reached that point i was at in January of the trying times of 2020, where I have no more shoots to talk about. Well I do but they are all events which I legit disassociate while doing. 

I phase out and don’t’ get attached while being there. Like I’m the Watcher from Marvel Comics or something. 

And since I feel like I will be doing filler issues for the next 4 months and literally have no patience for that. Today I give you a rare treat of 4 a part season finale, kinda like 90s cartoon. Prime example, the X-men episodes when Apocalypse was at the nexus of time and we saw Psylocke for the first time and a slew of random team ups. 

This isn’t that epic, but you get the point. The only real comparison is that they came back with new episodes even thought that finale was supposed to be the final arc.

As if.

At least we will get a new X-Men series continuing from the episodes that followed the aforementioned arc.You may want to get a book mark to help you along with the entirety of this issue.

 

 

 

A Quinceañera….with no subtitles

 

This part of the issue if brought to you by Cotton field 10, the place that inadvertently gave me more than a lumped out throat. Not enough to fully live off,but ya know other things. Case in point even tho I left when the Covid lockdown occurred that accomplished nothing, but pissing off white people.  My girlfriend stayed in that hellish landscape and over time made friends. Look at her making friends and shit. One of her friends knew that I was a photographer and also knew someone who was looking one. Ding Ding Ding. This Spanish family needed someone for their daughters Quinceanera and I was the first person they thought of. Have I ever worked a Quinceanera before? Absolutely not. But i was about to. I didn’t make contact with the client but my girlfriend did, and she literally coordinated the whole thing.

Side note we are in July of 2021 and my car is still very much not working. Actually at this point, it is sitting in a shop being ignored and the owners telling me shit that isn’t true.

Anyway.

So the Saturday comes and after she comes home from work and gets ready, we go to the newly appointed location  since the initial location they wanted was congested with possible Covid contaminated  humans.and we wait….and wait….and wait.

Side note, in case you are wondering why I linked the last sentence twice, it is because I did shoots in the areas this clients wanted, and the current shoot takes place where I shot someone before. Just in case it wasn’t obvious.

We wait for at least 2 hours, because the daughters hair stylist canceled on her or something. I don’t remember. I don’t. It don’t help that I didn’t exactly speak to them, I literally can’t speak Spanish.

At all.

So my Puerto Rican girlfriend was the primary contact with this family. We did some shots in the park, but this portion felt very rushed. They still had to be at the venue at a certain time, despite the 2 hr delay. After the rush job we left and headed to the hotel…and a yo real shit i don’t have a good recollection of events. You know how when you watch something in a foreign language and there is subtitles so you are a little more connected to the event.

Yea, there were no subtitles. No such subtitles exist. It was a fully Spanish event with me being the sole Negro in desperate need of a translator communicating with my brain.

Spoiler Alert.

She told me what was happening and what I needed to get shots that was of significance for this type of event while my photographer instinct helped guide the way. But real shit I was highly detached from this like most events i do.

I can tell you that I realized I had to raise my rate for events.

Why?

Because events are fucking exhausting. That is why. Niggas just be sitting there for elongated periods of time as nothing happens, waiting.

Fucking waiting Janolytes. FUCKING WAITING.

So yeah i raised my rate and realized photo shoots and events are on different levels. On a positive notes besides my amazing ass images with a flash I’ve barely used. The amount of money I got from this helped me repair my car from the problems that were plaguing it since late March. Of course I didn’t get it fixed until October. But you know a win is a win.

Go ahead and read my subtitle less experience and we will fast forward to September.

 

Mad Monster Expo!

 

Fall was approaching and I had just started a new cotton field while being on pause from Jeff Bezos slave pit.

Jano how did you pause a slave pit?

Don’t worry about that. Just be happy for me that I found something else that had my body in less pain even though i worked longer hours. Esp since the litany of car repairs that were meaningless had tapped my wallets heart.Plus my trip to New York City wasn’t cheap. Blessed Be for seasonal slave pits that I somehow get kept at.  In midst of me readjusting to a new plantation my actress homegirl hit me up asking if i could video panels at Mad Monster Expo.

Ummm videos?

Legit have never done videos, at all. Luckily Google and You tube are a thing. I watch a few and realize maybe I’m over thinking this process. I def have to buy a bigger memory card.

Side note, I’m legit glad how NOW you can get so much space for like $24, its fucking amazing bro.

I tell her I’m down and make arrangements to borrow my girlfriends car, because sadly my car is still not repaired.

Time Out.

My car literally sat at these south of the border niggas shop for 5 weeks and nothing happened. Nothing Happened. I came back from NYC getting a fucking convo full of fuckery. Luckily someone I met Jeff Bezoes slave pit told me about a place, problem was getting my car in said shop because niggas leave their cars there to die. So that was a thing until the end of September.

Legit wasn’t planning on my car repairs to be a part of my Bizarre art Journey, but here we are.

Time in.

I tell my homegirl that I will do Saturday and Sunday. The weekend comes and before I head to the Expo I have to go buy a lens that I think I lost in the woods.

UGH, the irony is I never bought that lens and now a squirrel is using it help fend off its kids from snakes. FUN.

I arrive at the Expo, and man so many white people. So many white people, enough that i play my usual game of count the ethnic folk just in case. I meet with her and then we meet with the organizer who needs a videographer. He seems chill which is good, and explains to me that the people who he had video taping the panels were so starstruck that they forget to hit record.

AYO!!

I have no clue who these niggas are bro, so don’t worry about that. Spoiler Alert, I’ve seen so little movies in life. SO LITTLE.  Most of my friends are disappointed in me, and I’m ok with that.

I found out my YouTube crash course in Videography was unnecessary, as fuck. He already had equipment and had a whole methodology for it. A simple method,so fucking simple.

He tells me the process and also that i don’t have to do much other than hit record and make sure the guest stay in the frame. And that the only people I should listen to is another Expo Media member.

Pretty Simple right?

MAN. my first celebrity I was recording was Meatloaf. That nigga who sang that song I would do anything for love but i won’t do that, and if that is being a decent human being he died lonely.

OMG JANO HOW COULD YOU TALK ABOUT MEATLOAF?

Spoiler Alert, that nigga was a rude cunt to me and the media team. I legit don’t’ give a fuck who gets upset from reading that. I don’t give a fuck. Being an old white washed up celebrity does not entitle you to be rude and disregard Covid protocols in a pandemic.

Jano, you really are speaking ill of the dead?

Yes, Yes I am because that is what fucking happened.

Anyway fuck him and his carcass. Can’t do shit for love now huh? Man I ain’t said nothing assholic up here in a while. MAN I feel like a whole fuckin Yeet GAWD again.

Anyway on to the rest of the show.

The bulk of my experience there was me hitting record listening to what they had to say in the process and then hitting stop. Besides dealing with the aforementioned bloated gas bag cunt I saw  Shawnee Smith who complimented my hair, legit may watch The Saw movies now. Bonnie Aarons from The Nun, Nick Castle,Will Sanden,  and John Michael Graham from Halloween. The Scream Panel was huge with Matthew Lillard and Skeet Ulrich. Matthew Lillard is a koolio dude, he took a picture of me while i was recording him.It was interesting in listening to about the life of an actor and how productions they didn’t think were going to be big become iconic pieces for a generation. There were a few other people but I don’t remember who they were and the program I had isn’t available anymore. Plus there was a Miss Mad Monster pageant which was interesting.

Eh oh well.

Anyway to see the few images I did snap when not filming go here.

Time for another time leap into the semi frigid month of November.

Kick, Push, Kick, Push

 

Although this wasn’t as monumental as the last two I thought this was pretty kool. When I met my internet friend turned real life friend and model, I became koolio with her boyfriend as well.

I visited them one weekend to catch up since I hadn’t seen them really since May. While we were chatting he told me about an impromptu skateboard competition. Even though I never skated despite peoples assumption about me, I think its pretty kool. The next day came and I went to the abandoned lot of what use to be Eastland Mall.

MAN the concept of time is terrifying. very. I use to go there when I was a kid and now its demolished. But in its ashes a group of skaters found a new home, which is pretty fucking dope. I got there first and my friend did later.

Bruh, on god. That shit was chill. Niggas were just skating with music blasting from a car with a nice system. I smelled drugs as I practiced my spider sense of knowing when to hit the shutter as I heard the skater approach. Shit was WAKA FLOCKA FIYA FLAME.

Did i fully understand the maneuvers of what they were doing?

Fuck no.

Did I enjoy it?

Fuck yea nigga.

The competition wasn’t long, but it was dope as fuck for me and my home boy. He actually got inspired to start skating again. Thats that yeet bro. It is.

Go ahead and look at a whole culture here bro and embrace for the final time skip.

 

 

Femme Fest

I love the simplicity of life sometimes. I do. Legit the day this happened I was going to go see the new Spiderman movie (which at this point is 2 months old, but i’m late because I hadn’t seen Eternals, Shang Chi, and Black Widow yet) with home boy since high school. But he was busy dealing with internet fuckery…CHILD THE FUCKERY.

WHEWWWW!!!

But we had to reschedule which was fine. In the meantime I saw a post that caught my attention. It was a female concert series at Camp North End. I had texted my art journalist  friend I met at my art show in June. He actually was well aware of it and I met him out there. Did I plan on doing photography related things ?

No.

But when your ancestors tell you to go somewhere you go. On Kami.

Eventually I found him. i say eventually because there was a slew of construction that had popped up since my last visit in October when I did my last show. Maneuvering in a newly warped space was a thing.

As if.

It was the first time seeing each other since June, we caught up as I told him journeys are weird and turbulent at times but don’t give up. Artist performed in the background and he went to shoot as I went to appease my stomach.

Yay for dumplings. Yay for fucking dumplings.

He asked would I help interview the musical artist,I was down. Literally all i did was have to hit record on his phone. His first guest was Natalie Carr.

Literally have been listening to her since i heard her, i legit liked her sound. Plus she has a chill spirit.

Next was Reecee Raps, her soud was dope too. I was bopping to her in the cotton field today. In the midst of us waiting for her to come to his station for an interview, he ran into another friend he knows who is an artist, named BlackSmith Sundays.  He introduced us and told me he did the Toonami Beats albums he told me about when we met last June. I legit fan girled out and was like oh shit. I just listened to him the other day. So fucking shway bro. So shway.

I didn’t say shway,but it is tho.

He interviewed them both in aforementioned order i discussed them, not at that exact moment but maybe an hour later.
Shout out to these local artist that make shit i can listen to while on my art journey.

YEET TO THE GAWDZ.

At any rate to see this yeetful images all you have to do is click this word.

 

And that is it guys. I don’t know why I thought this would be a short blurb of storied, i really forgot how i talk, my random tangents and me talking shit about dead celebrities.

OOPS.

I literally have been typing for damn near 3 hours and my fingers hurt. I don’t know exactly when my next issue will be, I really don’t.  I may be back next month with something, I may let things pile up like I usually do and come back for another season, or I may release issues as I do shoots. I have no clue. I will be releasing issues of my book tho, so there is that at least.

In an ideal world I would have clients and the shoots I’ve been trying to do for the past few years would have happened by now. But nope my JRPG Bizarre Art Adventure is forever full of complication.

But I know I need to step back to focus on my book.

And non profit things, like finding a staff, and getting us funded so that I can stop working these bullshit cotton fields. FUCK THEM ALL!!!

In the meantime if you want to get your monthly fill of Jano, The Azure Prince. Feel free to buy my books, some merchandise, or follow me on my social media channels listed in the side menu.

Until next time Janolytes, whenever that will be.

Dear Janolytes,

This week feels so very chaotic, and I’m not sure why. Wait, yes I do. Besides Office Depot fucking up my god damn order. Is there another printing service that can get my images done within a day, but in a correct manner? Please let me know, please let me know. Niggas fucking up when there are no planets in retrograde.

None, no such retrograde exists.

*Deep breathe

My ability to type and have stuff flow out is being damned up by some force that is rather bothersome at the moment. I think its the week, yeah we are blaming it on the week. Wait we are in Mercury Retrograde Shadow period, maybe that is what it is. FUCK IT!!

That is what we will blaming this blah on.

True to my word, I said I would be releasing issues at a faster rate. At least for now.

OMG Jano why?

Well I’m waiting for issues 6-13 to be proof read by one of my homegirls. And since she has real life grad school responsibilities and I am not a cunt, I have no plans to rush her.  But lets hope by the time i release issue 5 the other issues will be done and i can have a consistent release schedule.

Lets hope. Hell lets hope I can color the last 295 pages of my JRPG anime level epic.

I really just want to be a regular boy without a million things to do.

NO REALLY!!! OMG, i just wanna chill yo. I did a web diagram of my life and projects.

 

NIGGAAAASS!!! It is so much shit, so much shit on my plate.

Enough of that though…for now. Its time for the release of Level 4 of my series.

*Prepares to read script.

Abyssal returns to the battlefield with a new source of power no one expected. An alliance forged from the desperate need for survival is formed among those who started off as enemies. The Empress and newly revealed masked ally race to the battlefield, but will they make it in time.

Spoiler Alert, Souls will be crushed…nothing compared to what happens in Level 5

At any rate to check out vague preview of WTF happens go to my behance page as usual.

And head on to the publications page to order your copy of Level 4…and the other levels if you haven’t already.

And just like that this is issue over. Now to work on my task list like getting ready to show my work at the high school of my homegirls daughter for Black history month.

Yep, that is a thing I never thought i would say. Any of you ever watch Insecure? When Issa was speaking at school then somehow her broken pussy rap was discovered by tech savvy children?

Yea that may be me by the end of the week.I don’t have a broken pussy video  but my mouth is pretty rancid….HA. Legit hoping I piss off the PTA the same way Eminem pissed off parents in the early 2000s but that nigga flourished despite that. Lets hope  Janolytes.

Dear Friends of Jano,

Here we are. You and I gazing into an abyss of the internet as I post a new page in my Bizarre Art Journey.

Nigga What???

I don’t know, i didn’t really have an actual opening plan so I just started spouting words.

As if.

Tonight we have a special occasion. I am releasing a new issue of comic series.

YEEEEEEET.

Small confession, I have literally been done with Issues 1-5 since Summer 2017.

But Jano why haven’t you been releasing them at a faster rate?

Legitly there is no real reason. Although I am glad I didn’t because just recently a friend went through the aforementioned issues and pointed out my grammatical errors. So much gringe. This is what happens when you work bullshit slave jobs after graduating, your sense of grammar and proper sentence structure dies.

So just in case you ever wondered why these issues have so many run on sentences and what not that is why.

As I was saying I don’t have an exact reason why I haven’t been releasing them, I don’t. Part of me wanted to have the whole series done, another part wanted to have a certain gap between issues. Now I literally have a ten issue gap seeing that i just finished coloring issue 13. As of right now I have only seven issues left with a total of 319 pages.

Spoiler Alert, this is only going to be a 20 issue series. If you wanted a new Naruto, DBZ, Sailormoon, Bleach or One piece this def isn’t it.

But i’m legit looking forward to finally coloring the next 7 issues, especially considering I did issues 11-20 in the summer of 2018.

Yea…So in case you haven’t figured it out coloring has been a journey. I blame cotton field fatigue for it all. What I hoped to finish in 4 years from the fall of 2016 has not manifested.

Issues 1-5 were done by spring 2017, issue 6 June 2019, Issue 7-10 summer 2020 (thanks lockdown), Issues 11-13 Fall 2020-Fall 2021.

Ugh. So much fucking ugh.

But since I actually have my book in a local bookstore and I just did the QC  Zine fest, where people actually expressed interest in my book. I may actually try to release these in a faster rate. Maybe 1 every 2 months? Maybe, no promises. Hopefully I’ll be done with this JRPG saga before the releases catch up.

*does math…2025, that is if i drop an issue every 2 months from this point on. On kami if i’m not done with this saga by then I’m trash, legit trash.

Hey Google, play Charles Hamilton Loser.

Side note, if you are wondering what the final villain is gonna look like. Head towards my boutique and look at the current tshirt and prints I have for sale.

Super Final Battle JRPG Vibes bro.

With all that out of the way I present Level 3 of my comic book series Azure Ascendance.

*starts narrator voice

A battle royal begins. Coco, Boumei, Raiken, Coral and Kuchihige battle fiercely as Princess Yosei is still passed out from her recent ordeal. Meanwhile Watatsumi finds out the true identity of her masked savior. Truths are revealed as a battle rages on in another part of Azure while a new foe waits to ravage bodies indiscriminately.

*ends narrator voice

The intensity continues to build in this story my ancestors told me to write in a medium I was fond of growing up. At usual I have a preview page so that you can view. 

And as usual you can find this issue on my publications page along with the back issues.  I have the full witches intent to put an issue out every 2 months, especially since now this little hermit has people who are interested in this saga I’ve created. I need to do another show to keep this momentum growing.

As Namie Amuro…This is for all my fans.

Maaaan if I get people cosplaying my characters and get this animated I will yeet so hard I may cum.

Huh what.

Dear Friends of Jano,

First off, let us talk about something. I legit have never feared for a group of Anime Protagonist the way I do for the Straw Hat pirates as the assassination attempt on Big Mom has failed MISERABLY.

Holy fucking fuck.

Not even Team Toguro had me this shook. The next 50 episodes will be interesting…as fuck.

Anyway. How goes it? Was your October as exhausting as mine?  When I was at UNCG I had periods in my semesters were it was just periods of Academic rape for at least a month.

On Kami October 2021 felt like an retro 2000 academic rape session.

OMG Jano, did you just say Academic Rape? You’re canceled.

Eh, ok. Spoiler Alert, I coined that phrase between 2002-2009. I just haven’t had a reason to say since graduating it in 2009….until now.

At any rate, if September was emotionally exhausting then October was just fucking taxing in the sense of having too much to fucking do. It has been the culmination of events I started back in March of this year.

Er before all the car dilemmas that plagued my spirit and my wallet.

Let me explain.

At some point in Jeff Bezo’s slave pit I thought maybe I should heed the psychics advice in December of starting my own business. It has something that has teetered in my head for random parts of the last decade, but i never fully pursued it. But when a psychic who is speaking with your ancestors tells you that you will be successful at something you have been too timid to do, you say fuck it and fuck it raw with  big black mega meat. BOOM BOOM.

I met with my non profit boss and thus the laying of a foundation began. We discussed products, vendors, and all that other businessy stuff. Transitioning my brain from coloring to mathematical shit is a transition, especially all your jobs have been basic slave nigga shit. A week later while at an art show, i drafted up some designs for keychains and pins. The goal was to keep it as simple as possible since i’m literally still working on a comic series. I had to figure out I was going to make said keychains and pins, yeet to the gawdz for youtube.

YEET.

Shortly after I found out from a friend where I could get stickers made. And a friend who I made via my girlfriend helped me get some shirts. At this point I think we are in May when I wasn’t driving my car because the stalling and starting was taking its toll and was a safety issue.

Spoiler Alert, the creation of these products probably was as complicated as my mermaid and candy queen shoots. As the late great DMX Said “I wish it was a lie, but everything I said meant it.”

June came and I finally was able to get some of the supplies I need, but of course there were complications. Complications in the sense of ink cartridges  disappearing and reappearing (no really, like really fucking really), and buying the fucking wrong type of shrink paper. Fun. Things hit a halt until July when I had money to spare to buy the things I need. But didn’t really get going again til September a few weeks later after starting this new cottonfield after coming back from New York City.

*deep breath*

Ya’ll, I’m tired just from explaining all this.

I bought my stickers, had to do trial and error with the shrink paper, and various other supplies i needed. I finally got the tshirt press machine from a friend I use to pick cotton with, the goal was to get the machine in the spring but her and I were both having issues in our life. Even making the shirts were a problem.

YO I PROMISE ALL THESE RETROGRADES CHOSE VIOLENCE AGAINST ME, MY SPIRIT AND MY PEACE!!!!  THE ENEMY DID NOT WANT ME TO SUCCEED!!  ON KAMI!!!!

I just heard a church organ play in my head. SMH.

But here i am with all my products ready finally. I told my non profit college friend boss that I wanted to have my store up and running either before the art show I had last week, or the QC city zine fest I will be this saturday. I didn’t have it up last week, but now it is finally up and running.

Oh, yea I had an art show last Saturday. I was going to make a whole other issue regarding it and the pieces I make for said shows, but since you are here now. I have a gallery for you to check out. Go ahead and take a look then come back when you are done.

Did you check it out? You did and you came back? Yeet.

Even though my store wasn’t ready, i did take some merchandise to be sold in the forms of prints and stickers.

YA’LL PEOPLE ACTUALLY BOUGHT MY SHIT!!!!

It all happened so fast, literally. Within 20 mins of each other I made four sales. I was so floored.

Am I one step closer to becoming a pretty art idol like i want? EXTOL ME MEAT SACK HOES!!!

Excuse me my Vegeta level Narcissism was flaring up again. Pardon me humans.

But in short my store is finally up, and at the moment i don’t think I need to buy anything else…right now. Side note, I got my table banner for art shows. I looked at it and I feel like a One Piece pirate.

Def part of the Worst Generation.

Anyway. Without any more delays or awkward side rants I present to you

Jano’s Bizarre Boutique.

I plan on adding more items as time goes on, but right now this is my starting point. And as I have told you I still want to finish my comic series, so please be patient.  I’ll make announcements as usual if I had anything new. I’m still navigating through this business owner space. As I navigate remember to sign up for updates on my site.

Also if you reside in Charlotte, like zines, comics and other printed materials. Come to the Queen City Zine Fest to check out me selling copies of my comic series.

Real shit, if you were to tell me my awkward shy ass I would be doing shows, with colored hair, looking kooler than usual to promote my book to get an idol fanbase I wouldn’t have believed you.

But here we are.

YEET.

Dear Friends of Jano,

MAN, I want to have one month this year without car problems. Actually no, not just one. Several months. My car has been stalling on me faithfully, and It hurts.

Oh how it hurts so much.

UGH, so much fucking UGH. At least this time I was in my driveway and not on the highway.

Yea that was a thing. A horrible fucking thing.

2021 is almost making me miss 2020. At least in 2020 there wasn’t this reoccurring issue.

Anyway Its adventure time. C’mon tell a friend.

Side note, I’m hoping the next issue will be a more joyful intro. The ironic thing is I actually have really good news to share.

Spoiler Alert, that may get its own issue.

So back in the fall of 2018, I started working at what I call Cotton field 10. When I started it was ok I guess, but then ya know the whole throat swelling up because I was allergic to the actual job thing happened. Fuckers.

*Ahem

At some point I saw this guy and I literally thought….this nigga is dressed like a black Dracula. My nigga had on something that looked like Velvet, ole smooth as looking nigga. At some point him and I ended up working on the same shift and we became friends. Side note, he is one of the reasons I ended up being in my first art show.

AWWW tender moments.

Fast forward to fall 2020 I hit up said Dracula looking nigga asking would he be down to model for me, and he was.

YEET.

Ok, so I forgot to mention this is actually another chill issue with no type of drama what so ever. This like what the 5th one this year. This is so odd for me. Is this what peace feels like? Or at least a semblance of peace? Nevermind the projects I still have to do.

MAAAAAN.

At any rate we coordinated our schedules between our new different cotton fields. He told me he would need me to pick him up, which was fine considering he is helping with a random artist vision of mine of a nigga in the woods.

No really, thats was the vision.

I went to go pick him up on a not so cold as fuck December day. It was nice to see him again, it was. The last time I saw him was during super slave season when he quit that raggedy ass cotton field. I drove up to the location where I did the mermaid saga, but on the other side. I had walked the other side a few times during the unemployed summer of 2018. It was a bit difference from the other side, the key difference of having a well, a bridge, and some type of camp site that may or may not have been haunted.

Fun.

We jumped right into it. Now equipped with new knowledge of how my fucking lens worked, I found myself switching between all 3 of my lens. It is nice to be loaded with new information, but the lens switching process became tedious after a while as we traversed through the dead leaf trail.

Honestly that may be the most conflict in this whole issue, and I’m ok with that.

Wait no, at some point I saw that the fucking well was no longer there. Aggravated, aggravated as fuck. That was so key in my mind. Nigga I was bothered. Like angry Vegeta yelling bothered. UGGGGH.

As if.

Niggas out here really taking the time to disassemble a well. There is a whole ass super virus fucking up humanity and you raggedy motha fuckas wanna break a well. Bitch go buy some legos and do some other shit.

Ok, I’m done.

As we walked to the other side he started to tell me about his love life. The crushes, the heartbreaks, the emotions felt and the cascade of sorrow that swept him under at times. It was very touching, and the emotions he felt as he told his story translated on his face as he shot him.

You never really know someone until you walk with them in the woods and take their pictures for an artistic vision of yours.

Spoiler Alert.

When it was all done I drove him back home, said our goodbyes, and laid the fuck down. At this time Masta had me shucking and jiving at 4 fucking am. NIGGAS ARE TIIIIIED.

Hey Google, play Tired by JID.

At any rate to see the images from that exhausting day, go forth to this link.

That is actually the last photoshoot of the trying times of 2020. WOOOOOOO, lucky I survived it. Legit lucky I survived it, shit was a long ass black mirror episode no one asked to be part of.

Speaking of photoshoots (of the sorts), I had my fourth art show today. Man a nigga yeeted today. Literally as we were about to leave a swarm of bikers came toward the end, just to get pictures of us.\

ON KAMI.

ON KAMI NIGGA. I’ve never felt so flabbergasted in my life. A literal group of people I’ve never met in my life came to support me and my 2 friends who are local artist. Shit is pretty dope. I need to get better in being in front of the camera. I’m use to being behind it in case you haven’t noticed.

I guess I we are at the point in the JRPG journey were I need to level up my in front of camera stats.

I don’t know if thats a thing, but right now in this moment we are going to make it a thing.

Dear Friends of Jano,

Wait what was the last issue about? Wait…oh yea….Whale Sharks….right literally almost forgot. Sorry having Corona kinda fucked me up.

OMG JANO!!!???!!!

Yea, I had it. The past 2 weeks were an unnecessary adventure. Do you remember in YuYu Hakusho when Genkai gave Yusuke her spirit orb and he had to absorb it in his body. Some moments he was fine and the next his whole body was on fire, as he laid there cationic.

Yea it was a lot like that, for me. I wish I had a fucking spirit animal to fucking flap around bringing me water. But as if. What would really make up for it would be walking into my old cotton field and murdering the person who caused this fiasco. But ya know murder is problematic (esp if you are black) and my throat lumps up even with allergy meds and a mask.

Ugh, so much fucking As if.

At least I lived, thats important.

*deep sigh.

Anyway.

Hi everyone.

Man I don’t know why I am having an issue with words this month. It’s annoying.

Fuck the segue then.

Today on Jano’s Bizarre Art Adventure, it is cosplay time. Come on tell a friend. Meh, that was trash.

As if.

It is now fall of the trying times of 2020. I just restarted working at a cotton field I hoped to never to return to. But desperation creates strange bed fellows. Desperation is honestly an over simplification of things. I legit hate job searching, so much. So fucking much but considering how I never got unemployment from the last slave pit, it was 6 months of no income, and I know it doesn’t take much or long to get hired figured I might as well.

Anyway around November I was scrolling through one of my social people timelines and I asked myself.

Why haven’t I asked my homeboy to model for me as Luke Cage?

We didn’t really come up with an answer, so I hit up my friend and asked would he be down. He was in fact down and we chose a date to do this.

Spoiler Alert, this is actually a really simple issue…and so are the next few too actually. This is kinda odd, but welcome all things considered.

So we chose a date, that wasn’t that hard. It just had to be after I woke up from a slave based nap. Side note the first few months I was working 4am to 8am (830 am, 9am depending how much Masta wanted us to pick.Fun) The place I chose was Camp North End, I had been here a few times, but for him it was his first time. Our GPS’s decided to send us in two different directions, and since I semi know the place I went to the area he was at. Probably for the best because the park situation was not the best where I was.

Anyway.

We met up and I said the classic line of I haven’t seen you since before the plague. No really, I hadn’t. Literally the last time was his bday w.end In February when we all partied and got brunch the day after as usual not knowing a month later when everything would be shut down and fucked with a big corona laced penis that would kill oh so many like a Thanos snap.

Tell me I’m lying.

We chatted as he got his gear, and I looked around as to where I wanted to shoot him first. Side note, aside from the Netflix show I know nothing about Luke Cage, I don’t. I had googled some Pinterest images of additional ways for him to pose, but I was literally assuming since he had been the character he would know about him.

And he did.

We shot for at least 2 hrs. It would have been more BUT there was a literal sea of people between us and the other side of where wanted to go. Some of them weren’t wearing mask either, in a pandemic….nah its time to go. So we did. we picked another date and met up ironically enough the day of my 2nd art show.

WOOT WOOT, I did another art show. which I prob won’t be doing an issue about. *shrugs*. I had thought about it, but meh idk. I’ve done 3 at this point, side note.

Anyway.

The 2nd half went the same as the first, the only difference was now I knew the capabilities of my lenses. Something I honestly should have known for years, but I didn’t. Probably would have helped out in some scenarios, but whatever we are here now.

Spoiler Alert, I was trained in photography the same way Goku was trained in martial arts. That nigga just met people and they thought him shit. Literally thats how I learned. Imagine if I actually went to class, I’d be so much better a yeet gawd.

Curious about this 2 part issue, haha comic pun. Click here.

I’m gonna go enjoy my last night of not working and work on my book. Ugh I don’t wanna go back, I don’t. I have to take a survey before I go back, it’d be a shame if I chose answers that gave me another week off.

OMG Jano, are you still sick?

Nah, but do they know that? Do I talk to anyone at that cotton field on a level that they know about my nickname, or my website? Do motha fuckas even read fully?

Exactly.
