8/27/25 Hi guyssssssss It's been a while since my last update, which I suppose isn't unusual for me. I've been busy experiencing both the nasty and sweetie sides of Life. I also got a switch 2 so I've been neglecting everything for mario kart and donkey kong hehehe Anywho, I have some exciting news regarding future art endeavors. HEAD>HEELZ is VERY close to being finished! I've resumed working on it and still have plans to print physical copies. I'm also working on making some small artbook collections/zines based on my characters and media I enjoy. Outside of comics and printing, I've been working on a Super Secret project that I hope to release within the coming months. All I can say about it is it's not a comic and it will be gradually updated post release. In other news, lets talk about my personal life. The isopods are doing great, but I'm starting to feel overwhelmed by them. It's mostly the dairy cows which give me trouble, as they're extremely prolific um. They really like getting busy lol. After caring for isopods for two years I have a good idea of what I want out of the hobby, and porcellios are NOT it. That said, I'll never get rid of my high yellows, mostly because they were so hard to get established in the first place. They're also really pretty and BIG! I also have a new family member. He's a lil senior black cat I found while I was out on a walk on a hot day near the end of May. I've named him Memento Mori on account of being concerned with how emaciated he was when I found him. Mori was covered in fleas, and barely 5lbs when I first met him. He followed me around and kept meowing, so I decided to take him home and clean him up. I didn't plan to keep him, but I realized after looking around for lost cat ads that nobody was...looking for him. I also have spent a ridiculous amount of money in vet bills so he's my lil guy now lol. He's legit the most loving cat I've ever met. All he wants to do is sleep in my lap and he follows me everywhere. Only downside is he has some bowel issues so I've been cleaning up his Poop more often than I'd like. He's getting better though! In general I can tell he's growing stronger each day, it's very exciting. I didn't think I was ready for another cat after losing my precious Sir Payne in december of last year, but Mori has absolutely taken my heart. As for my other cat Ashton (the guy with one eye), he's slowly warming up to Mori. They still get in hissing fits, but sometimes I find them butt to butt. Never Fully Cuddling, but there's some physical contact there. Ashton seems to be less depressed as well, and less naughty now. I'm just really glad Mori and I found each other because he's really added a lot to my life. ^_^ Here's some pics of him: here he is next to Ashton, who is much larger: And here he is helping me make music: Hopefully next you'll hear from me I'll have further art updates to share. Until then please check out the gallery, as I've uploaded new (and some old) illustrations. until then take care, Melvyn.

5/17/25 Hello again. Honestly I'm surprised I've found the energy to write a second journal entry so soon. It's been raining often here where I live, leaving me feeling quite sleepy. Today I managed to sleep 15 hours (yeesh). Not typical for me but I'm trying not to Freak Out about it. I have a few projects planned for the website that I'd like to finish, though my motivation is extremely low. One of those projects is uploading another preview for my comic Head>Heelz, something I've been neglecting for far too long. The preview has been ready for months now, life just Got in the way. Outside of my comic, I'd love to add a page about my isopods. I've been raising them for about a year an a half now with nine different species under my care. If you followed me on tumblr or twitter you may recall my clown colony crashed, leaving only five survivors and a very sad Melvyn. Fortunately, before all the survivors died, they gave birth to 20 or so babies. The clowns have been restored, and so has my humor hehehe~ In other news, I'm still playing animal crossing for the gamecube. I have a new villager in town named Chow, and I've decided his house is a total bachelor's pad. This panda gets Laid to be frank with you all. Gaston has moved from daddy material to uncle material, simply because he keeps talking about his niece. There is a hippo named Bertha who goes bloop and she is by far my kindest villager. I found her snoozing while standing up earlier today, which she admitted was embarrassing then prompted ran back into her house. Also don't get me started about my islander, O'hare. I think he's coming onto me, but he's a terrible flirt. He keeps requesting kiddie furniture which I find absolutely hilarious considering his personality and appearance. God I love this game... Thats all for now. Hopefully I'll be back with more to yap about soon but until then take care, Melvyn.

5/15/2025 It's been a while since I last updated. Life threw some curve balls, and I sorta forgot I existed for a while. Funny how that is... Well, I'm here now, and with a newly added journal section. Figured I should have a spot for Yapping on my website, I am the webmaster after all. For the time being it's plain, but there's a high likely chance I'll update it some point in the future. Expect something cute (naturally). As mentioned earlier alot has happened since my last update but I lack the energy to dig into it today. Mostly I wanted to inform the Public that I've updated the gallery with a backlog of Melancholy illustrations. She's my favorite oc so I feel like an ass for taking so long to upload her to the gallery. It's a rather large backlog, 48 images, so please take your time with browsing. In other news, I've been playing og animal crossing for the gamecube. I'm a filthy cheater who time travels, though I usually get bored after playing two in-game days at a time. My favorite villagers in my town are Cupcake, Winnie and Poncho. Special shout-out to Gaston for being the town Daddy, if you know You Know. I'm kinda pissed at Poncho right now cus he repainted my pink roof to Brown. Not entirely sure what his damage is, but he's a great gift giver so I can't be too pressed. Outside of gaming I've been reading more than I ever have in my adult life, just for funsies. Recently I finished Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata, I highly recommend it. I found it to be extremely relatable and absolutely batshit insane. Currently I'm reading Roadside Picnic by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky. I'm enjoying it but not as much as Convenience Store Woman, though I did binge the first 100 pages when taking the train to Vancouver BC to visit a friend. There's a little girl in it who's entire body is covered in fur if that gives any indication of what it's about. roflrofl. Anywho until next time, Melvyn.
