Kind of. Except for the dead part. I hadn't died, so...I'm just back. Less exciting story, I know, but hey, had to get your attention somehow. Because I'm obviously an attention whore, what with my posting every six months or so. Ha. Seriously, I will try to update more often. I do keep up better with my site, so if you care to, you can bookmark joelharrisart.com and check up on my new work there. I'm in the process of overhauling the entire site's design, so bear with me.

My wife and I closed on our first house this past Friday. It's only been 5 days, yet it feels like so much longer, as we've been painting, moving boxes, etc pretty much nonstop.

In some other news, I am working on my creator-owned comic, which I will preview here on DevArt in the coming month or so. Without giving away too much of the story, it's essentially a pulp detective style book set in the late 1940's, focusing equally on case matter and characterization. I'm doing it all myself, from writing to art, to lettering and beyond. If anyone would like to collaborate with me in any aspect, please drop me a line (jmharrisart@gmail.com).

That's it for now. Will update soon...promise!
