Hello All,

So, it’s been a while to say the least. What have I been doing? I’ve been ‘a weavin’! It seems that the fibers business is taking off quite well and since there’s been a lull in illustration, I’m happy to do something else for a while. Like a lot of other artists out there, I have to constantly create things and painting just sometimes doesn’t cut it. Doing something tactile and more relatable is a huge breath of fresh air. I also find myself a thousand times busier with the fibers stuff than I could ever imagine. The results are worth it though.
One of the strangest things is that I get a LOT more respect as a Weaver/Textile artist. Usually when someone introduces me as ‘Oh, this is C.J., he’s a fantasy artist,’ I get a wincing eye and a smirk. Lately though, people have been getting to know me as fibers person and it goes like ‘This is C.J., he’s a weaver and textile designer,’ and people go ‘Oh, Wow, that’s really neat!’ and I get smiles and pleasant conversation. It’s one thing to ‘suffer’ for your art, but I never realized how much of a drag it was to my self esteem to not be respected.
With that said, I’ll be focusing my efforts on fibers for a while which will effectively shut NGDS down indefinitely. We’ll see where it goes, I’m sure it’s going to be a hell of a ride!

Thanks Everybody, See you soon!
