Orders ARE being shipped. If print number 7 is in your order and your package hasn't arrived, I'll be shipping it on Wednesday. I ran out of that print and it's due back from the printers on Tuesday.

So it's pretty much been a long time since I've done much on my account here so I suppose it's time for an update or two.

The most important update is probably for those of you who have been up-to-date with my journal entries and gallery deconstruction and who have been waiting to see what happens next. I've decided that rather than beginning to submit new illustrations here and try to be taken seriously for more serious work under a username irreversibly associated with my less-than-serious comics, I'm going to work on building a separate independent online gallery/portfolio much like I did with azuzephre.net for Pon and Zi. In most cases, people who are interested in my work are either interested in Pon or my other work, not both at once, so I've decided to keep the two organized. Azuzephre.net will always be the official home for Pon and Zi, but I've decided to make this gallery sort of a stepping stone on the way there. So to clarify, Pon and Zi will soon start to occupy this gallery. If you have no interest in the comics, I won't be offended if you undevwatch me. Thanks for visiting to begin with. <3 My journal, however, will be updated with news regarding both Pon and Zi and everything else I'm involved in. As soon as my portfolio site is up and running, there will definitely be an announcement here with linkage and stuff. : )

As far as Pon and Zi go, expect a ton of updates within the next few months. Every year, I literally get huuuundreds of messages from people who wish that I would make Valentine's Day card sets. Well this is the year, and I've got a handful of unreleased comics to post intermittently until the shop at azuzephre.net has card sets in stock. As for now, I've just added backpacks and totebags to the shop (click the button at the end of this journal) at azuzephre.net! I've only got four backpacks, so if you're interested, pounce. <333 So yeah, I'm gonna upload the new comic and try to think of other things I meant to write here.

I heart you alllll

After posting this, I won't feel so bad if I don't answer all of the already answered questions people are asking in notes and comments. : )

Why is your gallery gone?
I wasn't happy with my gallery, so I took it down to get a fresh start on everything.

Can you send me the file of one of the deviations you took down?
No, sorry.

When will you start posting new stuff again?
I don't know. I'm taking a break from deviantART right now and it might be anywhere between a week and several months before I'm back.

OMG WHER IS TEH PONZ?!11
This is another reason why I'm restarting my gallery. I hate that I'm trying to focus on things other than Pon, but that 95% of the messages I get here are about what I post at azuzephre.net. There's a contact form on azuzephre.net through which I'd be more than happy to answer any questions you might have, but this is where I post my other art.

You said in a previous journal entry that you were considering making a new account in an attempt to try to get a cleaner start. If you make a new account and if I promise not to bug you about Pon, can you send me your new username?
I'm not going to make a new account. Having people asking about it would just be more irritating than answering Pon questions here. Additionally, I've already paid for a subscription on this account through October and I got a prints account before they made it an annual thing, so it's basically permanent. I don't want to lose that.

BUT OMG LYKE SRSLY WHER IS TEH PONZ?!!11
