Winter is coming

Well not really... yet. But I just felt like writing here after a while since it's raining outside which is basically indicating the official end of summer for the Pacific NorthWest. It's a shame that good days are gone already. Hopefully the rest of the year should be quite interesting for me. I'll be travelling to Asia for a month, more specifically Seoul, South Korea and a bunch of cities in Japan, including Tokyo of course. I'll upload one or two pictures when I'm there, although I don't know how many people have actually read this blog so far. That concerns me, did social media really kill the blogs? Oh well, I'm trying to stay away of social media as much as possible. I've never even had an Instagram account, but deleting my Facebook is maybe still too radical, I'll wait a little longer.

This summer was fun, I had decided earlier this year that I was gonna visit California as much as possible since I had never been there before.
In March I couldn't handle the bad weather up here anymore and took two days in LA, which I loved! I even did a tour to the Warner Bros. Studios and got a picture in the Friends sofa. I stayed at Venice Beach, which was also great and drove non-stop everywhere.
In July I went to San Diego for the San Diego International Comic-Con, oh man, what an experience! Me and friend were in line for about 20 hours (of course we took turns though) to make it to Hall H. That's where the most famous TV shows have their panels where they bring actors and the audience has a chance to ask them questions. I saw the Big Bang Theory, The Walking Dead and Game of Thrones panels. Was it worth it? I guess so, but I'll go more prepared next year. I missed a chance to get an autograph from the Rick and Morty creators, so that'll be number 1 priority in the coming year 2018.
In August I went to LA once again and from there we drove up to Monterey and then San Francisco. That was quite a touristy trip too, SF was amazing! All this was followed by a 22hs train to Seattle, which I wouldn't recommend since it's just forest all the way.

Now I'm back to work for another 5 weeks and then I'll be leaving to Asia. I've been adding English subtitles to my old cartoon series, Escuadron 37 (Squad 37). I'm also planning on bringing my website back from the death, which may be done in React in a very simple way. And I'll be purchasing a Wacom 13HD soon to start learning more about cartoons development! At the same time I have this unnamed comic with 7 pages so far, hopefully I'll come up with a name soon. As you can see, there are a few projects in mind which I'd love to achieve.

Here's episode 4 of Squad 37 with brand new English subs:

See ya soon!
