Dear Janolytes,

When I debuted the last issue I had this foolish thought that February was going to be productive and that I was going to knock out some projects of mine….life was like Nah Nigga. Hey ya’ll see this nigga Jano? This mothafucka think this month gonna be sweet. Oh this nigga funny. Nah Black History month is gonna be filled with Wild monkey behavior.

Yep, that was February with a segue of Mercury Retrograde and here we are.

Here the FUCK we are.

*Deep Breath

Its amazing how many much more I’ve done breathing exercises in the last few years.

SMH.

So this issue is being typed on March 12th, but I’m setting it to realease on my Bday while i’m out of town for a few days. I’m gonna go see FKA twigs in Atlanta who is performing on my bday. YAAAAAAAS. The yeets are heavy.

Make me proud Janolytes. Make me proud.

Despite the fuckery of the last 6 weeks I’m glad I’ve got some things done. 1 of the photo shoots  I did in November, made steps forward in my 1st art show in 6 weeks….. damn I got order my outfit, and make my piece for said show.

My toxic trait is that when I go to art events I have to dress like a K pop Idol.

But really trying to keep my peace…legit trying to keep my fucking peace as I close all these tabs.

Fun times mane.

Anyway lets flashback to beginning of the trying times of 2020. Yep that pivotal year when we truly found out much humanity ain’t shit. I literally saw a post about how 6 years ago the COVID-19 pandemic changed humanity. That tracks because we then entered the darkest timeline…..which has just gotten darker…and darker…..and more fucked up.

Feels like we are in the Chapter Black of YuYu Hakusho, all we need is Sensui to eviscerate all of humanity. We are legit oozing with potential to do horrendous things and it is unfortunate but some of us have already peaked in the dancing with their vices.

Some of ya’ll ain’t’ got no morals and I’m bothered.

Fucking weirdo’s bro.

Anyway May 2020 I had finally started coloring Issue 10 of my book series, what I drew back in summer 2017. Man the simple times of unemployment and working on my projects. Low key miss it. Nah High key because it was before I had to start touching boxes, waking up early as fuck, working in warehouses, and sometimes a combination of all fucking 3.

FUCK.

Anyway. I drew it summer of 2017 but added an additional 5 pages  in summer 2019 that I had an urge to put in initially but didn’t since I felt rushed ….for some unknown reason.

As if.

It was roughly a month and a half of coloring, playing Spiderman and watching tv. Simple times.

Fun fact, this was originally going to be the last issue of the series.

Spoiler Alert, but I had more story that i wanted to tell. So congrats ya’ll have reached the midway point of this arc. 10 more issues after this.

But for now here is what is happening in this issue

Dawn approaches and so does the battle between Ikari and Yosei!! Despite the efforts of The Posei Kingdom this battle could not be stopped. Yosei and Ikari clash as the others watch in awe, unknowing that a surprise awaits them all….

The revenge arc continues as the  daughters of sisters Watatsumi and  Hannya battle backed with their convictions.

 

YEP!!! With this issue Act 2 is concluded. I’m proud of myself for what I created I am, especially since I didn’t think I would have finish. The amount of daunt that sat on my chest was too damn high.

Anyway for the usual preview click here.  And to purchase it go over yonder.

And for news on my art show follow me here on the IG thangy.

Moral of the story, write those stories and don’t give up even if it feels like you will never finish the project of your desires.

Or something like that.

Don’t forget to donate Janolytes.

Happy Bday to me.
