Modern Techmology or, I think I'm getting old.

So I thought I would be getting this done yesterday, but I couldn't figure out how to start a new blog post.  Don't worry though, Danielle came home and pointed out the bright blue button that says "New Blog Post"... Thanks Techmology... 

Here I am though! So, let's get started.  There is a LOT going on.  I left my job after almost eleven years, and while it wasn't necessarily by choice, it was definitely time.  I have had a couple of lazy days but we have also been preparing for the new job ahead.  I guess this is where it all comes to a head. For the past six years we have run Of Mice and Madness as our baby, it's allowed us to meet a ton of amazing people and opened us to things that we weren't aware of or wouldn't have thought of otherwise.  But, because of us both having full time gigs, O.M.a.M. was always pushed to the side as far as priority; at least in my boat.  Because of this we had been late on  commissions and I was terrible at communicating with the people that mattered most.  You guys.  So what does that mean? Where am I going? Hold your horse, I'm long winded and rambly but I'll get there eventually. 

We also started streaming on Twitch which has brought even  more amazing people and great friends, but with the wedding and honeymoon, losing Ollie, and my job it all sort of went to a hard stop.  We have talked a lot about what we want to do and we're going to be getting back into the game, slowly.  One of the things that I think might have happened is that we were too aggressive with our schedule.  Yes, eventually we will stream five-six days a week.  But starting off like that I feel put a lot more pressure on us.  So starting next Wednesday we will be streaming from 1-5! From that point we will be on schedule of Mon-Wed-Fri in that time slot. We will keep with the art centered streaming but also be sprinkling in some video games, cosplay builds, and 3d sculpture.  I have also been getting stupid into miniature model building so I have a whole line of that planned too... (I love Battlestar Galactica Vipers, just saying) 

We ALSO have a ton of commissions that are at differing stages of completing and those will be taking precedence over everything else right now.  If we're working with you on a commission expect to see something coming from me (Drew) in the next week.  I plan to have all inks completed asap and am super excited for these as I have had them bouncing around in my head a lot.  After Commissions we start the real work.  C2E2 is our show, well it feels like our show since we've been there the past six years (seven?) and this year we are going to have comics!  Tails From Out There and Rocket Mouse with both have their first issues completed and will have special covers for C2E2!  We felt that this was appropriate since we were formed in Artist Alley oh so long ago.  We'll also have a bunch of new fan service Mice (I'm really excited for the ODST mouse) and of course more Hockey Mice (HOCKEYS BACK!)

You did it! Here's the end! What does all this mean? Well, it means its time to go all in.  We will be devoting 100% of us to this company and these little guys, and to you.  No more radio silence, we are going to be talking a lot more, to the point that you might get tired of us.  But that's what we'll need to do to make sure we flourish.  It's going to be hard, I'm an introvert so talking to people is not my strongest suit, but as always we feel that it will be worth it.  The last thing I have to say is this.  We need you, your support has helped drive us forward.  The words of encouragement have always been what let's us know that this is worth it.  So thank you, if you've been around for a while; if you've just found us, thank you.  I promise the best is yet to come.

See You Space Cowboy...
