This year has made me reconsider very much how I focus and distribute my energy on all my passions and obssesions. One of the many things that I put a lot into is the internet. It’s been awesome to see how the internet is constantly evolving. The 2000s were probably its best moment, and then this decade has been its decline… there is now so much information being put into and passed around at such speed that it is impossible for any of us to keep up with what we actually want to see anymore. Then the ads, fuck, that shit is just so over the top now. It’s as bad as TV. I hate being a brand and contributing to that consumerist pollution. I’m also done with trying to connect with friends and colleagues through social media and somehow ending up feeling weird and lonely instead. So I stopped using facebook, stopped checking to see who likes my posts on instagram, and now I want to stop using tumblr and twitter.
This may sound stupid but I am really tired of running a succesful business. I want to do something else now. I can’t just close Gatosaurio right now, but I am planning on simplifying it a lot for July. So if you’ve been wanting to get something, get it, cus it might not be available next month. I’ll still be spamming you here for the coming weeks, but once I change the shop in July for good, I’m not going to use tumblr anymore. I don’t want to be directing any more of my energy into promoting the shop anymore. I’m figuring out something else so that I don’t need to depend on it solely for my survival… I mean, I’m never going to stop drawing and making shit, I just don’t want to be “a brand” anymore! I’m really excited about Fantagraphics releasing my Alienation “graphic novel” next year and I have this other two ideas that I really need to get working on, so also my motivation to take a step back from the business is so I can dedicate more time and energy into my comics.
So, yeah, I just wanted to share that with you and also tell you THANK YOU… for reading this, for your support, for buying my stuff, for reblogging my posts, everything. If it wasn’t for YOU I wouldn’t be making a living out of what I do and every day I think about that and I am so grateful. But now I need to go and do other things. I hope you are also finding your way to living your truths…
