So, it's been a while

It's been a couple of months since I last posted something here. I've been very busy, and lotsa stuff happened in between being busy, namely, my mom fell from a roof (and was miraculously saved by her bed) and I passed a kidney stone, both of these things happening within the same week. These two things sort of depleted our financial reservoirs, as little as they are to begin with, so we're all sort of reeling from that, trying to survive with what we can, etc etc. So: the usual.
My mom falling from the roof and me passing a kidney stone was the respite from doing these things -
- (all drawings in this set are by Josel Nicolas, by the way) -
- and these things -
- and these things -
- so I've been busy, and as usual, I continue not to earn anything from anything. All of these things have been for other people. I've been very hungry to do stuff for myself, to write stuff for myself, even hungry to write stuff for money. But most of all, I've been very hungry, period. Contact me if you want me to do stuff for you! Especially if you're paying! Send eMail to juncruznaligas(at)gmail(dot)com! I won a best book award last year for a book I published myself! A cover I did got nominated in an industry awards night that was fixed at the outset! I've been doing this for eleven years! I know what I'm doing!

awesome covers! yung sa geek tragedies, covers for multiple volumes ba yun? o kasama sa book yung images? o cover studies yung iba?
@kristine - Salamat! Yung sa GEEK, isa lang naman yung cover niya (yung merong back cover spread), the rest are illustrations for the stories inside the book. Unfortunately, they can only be printed in black & white, so me plano kami nina Carl at nung artist nung drawings na si Josel Nicolas na gumawa ng postcards and tchisrts out of the drawings, para hindi masayang ang four-colour fiesta that is the GEEK TRAGEDIES drawings!

SLEEPLESS IN SEATTLE
There's much in the world that you can't explain.
It's revealed for you to remember
by the whispering voice of a distant train
or a midnight rain in november.
Horizon within! You can always find
the keys to Enigma. Let's mention
one basic Truth: of spirited Mind
is Nature naught but extension.
Internal expanses! In dreams, ridden
by fear and longing you roam
that deep Southeast in your soul hidden
...on your random journey back home.

La présence; un coup de vie morte? non, ce n'est qu'être. Et puis pour l'errante fenêtre: étant vue la nuit, dans tous le coins des rues de la veille la même étoile.

The best way to do it is lining up as a Follower, since then your icon will advertise you indefinitely, and I will follow you in return. Let's forge a mighty alliance of synergy and common interest.
