Wow! haven't been here in awhile. Hiatus will end this December, now I will have more time to do some new stuff. Can't wait 'til January. Bye-bye corporate world for now, its about time to expand the Adoboverse.

Its been awhile since I last wrote a journal entry, and have not made any new artworks for my gallery or even attended some of the comic events this year.

I've been busy for quite some time, mostly from the stressful confines of the corporate cubicle i call work and often visiting that other social networking site that got us all hooked.

Although sometimes this hiatus of mine may end up being good for me because of the time while I was away from my drawing board, I had time to really plan out some of my projects for next year.

There are a lot of new comic indies out there especially this recent Komikon (saw pictures only in the web) that looks really good. So may be its about time to step up my game and really put out a better comic for next year's comic conventions.

I'd really like most of all to improve my writing and drawing skills and will most likely add changes to my comic book format. Hope to see some of those familiar faces again at the next comic convention and meet new ones when I introduce the next issue of Adoboverse Komiks.

I'm sorry M. Night Shyamalan you really blew this one and you just have to put your name on the title.

Avatar, The Last Air Bender is my favourite cartoon show in Nickelodeon, not only for its amazing art but also its story and characters.

So many things went wrong in the movie adaption, for one the title should be Avatar, the last air bender. I don't care if there was a movie Avatar already. The director's name should not even be in the title. Come on! The director is not even the creator of Avatar and M. Night shouldn't be directing this! Stupid move by the people at Nick.

Aaargh and the cast was totally flawed. Can't you even get the characters right? They don't even look right or act right either. Why is it soooo serious all the time. The characters of Avatar in the animation demonstrated their wit and humor despite the odds they are about to face.

Nickelodeon, please don't make a movie sequel. Stick with the animation. The movie was a big disappointment.

I now have a blog.

Do check it out.
