Fuck babysteps.

Never been the type for taking less than ambitious measures about things I believed in. So those who know me well enough will not be too surprised at news I'll be sending out later this week. It's been a while in the works, but I've finally figured out how I'm going to clean up my life again and return to drawing more. It's a direly needed step, for myself, my sanity, my art, and for the big projects involved. It's just so damn hard to admit I've finally bitten off more than I can chew. And the final drop, nay, the final FLOOD that ran the bucket over (and then some) was, well, ClickBurg.
Since nearly no one and their dog reads this blog, I suppose I can talk about it already here. I'm going to semi-renounce my presidency of the ClickBurg foundation. It's been a tough decision but a wise and adult one (which aren't usually my forte). I'll still remain heavily involved with the goals and PR of ClickBurg, but I'm through organizing events. All this has a lot to do with the fact that, put in a realistic perspective, there really is no way we'll get ClickBurg 2006 organised in time by now. Especially considering which direction my life is currently heading - I simply lack all time that is required to organise this event properly.
We're currently figuring out the consequences of this decision before really making it public. But a lot has already been discussed with other people involved and everyone's fine with it.
So, that's that. I've given a full year of my life and a big chunk of my money to ClickBurg, and now I'm done. It's been a great year - we've set up the webcomics manifestation itself, we've drawn live comics and cartoons about the Tilburg fair at the event itself, we've had two successful comic convention appearances, we started a special comics blog, an appreciated newsletter, relatively big names have joined most of these events as well as very promising young artists.. I can look back with a lot of pride. But the time has simply come to recognize that I have to let this go.

Time to start taking my life back again. And draw. Good grief, do I need to draw. The ideas and projects have been piling up, and let me tell ya, I'm gonna be doing some things that you probably wouldn't have seen coming.

It's been a good year, this past one. Time for a completely different good year to arrive.
