Love the jumping pic of small, got a few similar "in flight" photos from when my kids were that age XD the one of your wife on the daybed is an awesome portrait too, should totally print and frame that.

I don't understand how this works, but then again I found mine pretty early (I think I was 8 or 9 maybe, all I remember is being small when I started drawing my first comics) even though I didn't end up giving it the attention I really should have when I found it, because I was always told in no uncertain terms that it was impossible to make a living off it and I was never to bother even considering that as a viable option at any stage ever and that I was to do a "real" job and so I ended up doing this stupid shity

instead and while I don't fully regret it because at least I got to figure out that I was capable of running a business, that I have completely the wrong mindset for running a business and that I absolutely loathe running a business. And also learned a lot of fun webdev tricks which I may or may not have picked up just managing my own things. But there are still many times that I wish I'd just ploughed headlong into the project instead of "wasting time" on the business as had I done that I'd definitely be a hell of a lot further along with it than I am.
