Hiatus Over & Author Update

Hello everyone. I got some great news!

For those who have been keeping up with the website, I had mentioned that NOTA is currently on an indefinite hiatus, well the hiatus is lifted and the long awaited Chapter 7 is in progress and the first few pages will be posted soon. A lot has happened in the my life the past few years and had a lot of life changes. I am no longer going to school at Oregon State due to several reasons. I am not disappointed though because I have other things to look forward to and things I'd rather do than get into debt for what? Who am I impressing? Is one of the things I had asked myself before I quit. I like being a Draftsman! I am in a better, stable environment now, and I am able to work on my project again and actually focus on my art work and be with my friends and family.

I am enjoying my life in my new town. I can't play Dance Dance Revolution at the arcade as regularly but I have been enjoying playing in the racquetball court. I am even considering joining a Tennis club! We will see how that goes.

I have been enjoying watching Steel Ball Run, it's my favorite manga of all time so it is exciting to see it animated. I feel like everyone working has done a great job with the animation so far. In celebration, I made a sketch of Johnny and Gyro. I also painted my nails the same as Johnny's. <3

(Fun Fact: I drew this while my editor watched and she can confirm was listening to Kid Rock and drinking a white Monster drink.)

Only a few people I know ever read SBR so it's so exciting that my friends are watching the anime! I don't post on my Twitter anymore but I logged back in just to see all the nice GyJo art and see my old IceMav artists as well. :) I promise not to be too distracted by my twitter yaoi collection. :(

Have a wonderful day everyone. I'll see you at the next NOTA update. - Natalie
