Did something happen with the Gallows Humor comic? I've been out of the loop for a while and went to check for updates and it doesn't seem to exist anymore :(

Yeah, been busy with life. It’s taken my motivation from GH away and i have gone back to fanart. I really have no excuse, if i can draw fanart I can continue the comic right? xD I got a few things to do before I can sit down and dedicate my time to it. But it will return.
i was going for art trade sketches with @mxecanita but i got a lil carried away maybe
@kochei0 I am just… wow. WOW! I am blown away. I already said that, but WOW. I’m over here doodling your request and here you are with 3 fantastic colored drawings! I would not be surprised if you did all these in an hour. You are too good to me (cries). The poses, the facial expressions, the colors. HNNNG! I hope you like my drawings, ‘cause wow. OK, BACK TO FINISHING YOUR REQUEST!
I’ve bee doing some fanart for a page on facebook called Las Friendas. Here’s another one I did. Translated to English, mostly everything there is in Spanish.
I miss drawing for fun and fanart is easier to get absorbed into when I need to relax. Here’s the first page to my random version of Legend of sanctuary The Hangover version :P
Atena Farghadani is a 28-year-old Iranian artist. She was recently sentenced to 12 years and 9 months in prison for drawing a cartoon.
This cartoon, that she posted on her Facebook page last year, depicts members of the Iranian parliament as animals. It was drawn in protest of new legislature in Iran that will restrict access to contraception and criminalise voluntary sterilisation. Atena’s charges include ‘spreading propaganda against the system’ and ‘insulting members of parliament through paintings’.
“While in prison last year, Atena flattened paper cups to use them as a surface to paint on. When the prison guards realised what she had been doing, they confiscated her paintings and stopped giving her paper cups. When Atena found some cups in the bathroom, she smuggled them into her cell. Soon after, she was beaten by prison guards, when she refused to strip naked for a full body search. Atena says that they knew about her taking the cups because they had installed cameras in the toilet and bathroom facilities – cameras detainees had been told were not operating.”
She was released in November and gave media interviews and posted a video on YouTube detailing her beatings, constant interrogations and humiliating body searches. She was then rearrested possibly in retaliation for speaking out and has been imprisoned ever since. In January, Atena went on a hunger strike to protest the horrible prison conditions. Her health suffered dramatically, and after losing consciousness and suffering a heart attack in February, she was forced to eat again.
The quote used in the comic is taken from the speech Atena gave at her trial. It has been translated into English by the Free Atena Facebook page. You can read the whole thing here.
Time is now against her, she has just two weeks to lodge an appeal. Michael Cavna, comic journalist for The Washington Post, has launched a campaign appealing to artists to help bring awareness to Atena’s case by creating their own artwork in support of Atena and using the hashtag#Draw4Atena. Can a bunch of artists and a hashtag really make a difference and put pressure on the Iranian Government to release Atena? Probably not. But just remember that Atena is currently in prison enduring horrible conditions, and if her appeal isn’t successful, she will be there for another twelve years. FOR DRAWING A CARTOON AND POSTING IT ON FACEBOOK. Don’t we owe it to her to at least try?
Alot worse actually happens out there.. once Being a soldier (which turned me into an activist) showed me..

This little drawing is dedicated to an awesome talented artist that gives me the strength to get back into drawing. I have been forcing myself to draw more than actually enjoying it. Sometimes life gets hard and we may lose interests in the things we love. Unfortunately that’s what’s going on with me, but I wanted to dedicate this drawing to kochei0 . You got mad skills and I can definitely see you going places. Keep up the awesome work.
