Austin Mutt. I hadn't even thought of what his name could be.
I tried out the series for awhile, but then put it down. I'll go though phases of drawing stuff like this once a year or so, and then… I'll lose it somehow.
One year, February 29, 2000, I got in this huge fight with a Kinko's worker and didn't draw for another five years.
I sound really flighty when I type this out, but I swear I've been doing other things too!
