Those of you who actually visit this site (rather than just subscribing to the blog¹) will notice a new site design.  I’ve removed the music aspect of the previous design and made this site into more of the personal, writing-oriented site that I intended.  My writing and comics will be the main focus of this site.  I hope you think it looks spiffy.  I think it looks very spiffy, and it’s quick and all that.

None of the writing stuff is actually available yet, though.  It takes a while to build pages for each thing that I write, and I just wanted to get the design up first so that it was obvious that the direction of the site was changing (really just going back to its roots).

Regarding comics: the real reason Test Comic hasn’t been updated in a month or whatever is not because I am lazy, but because my computer FREEZES every. single. time I try to make a new comic.  There’s nothing more frustrating than opening up Photoshop, loading the sprite sheets and backgrounds, making everything look nice and pretty, and having the computer freeze 3/4th of the way through the process.  I am on a path to purchase a new computer, which will take me a couple of weeks of work.  Once that happens, though, expect new comics and all sorts of fun stuff.

NEW SITES!

I now have websites for Here Lies Laika and King of Trees, my two musical side projects.  The King of Trees site is here: iamthekingoftrees.com, while the Here Lies Laika one is here: herelieslaika.com (and is not linked because I haven’t even started it yet!).  Expect awesome stuff to come from those sites very soon.

What about me?  Well I’ve got a blog coming up very soon about how I played hooky from work and got caught.  I am also working on a new EP, because I recently purchased an electric guitar and distortion pedal, and I’ve got three songs that kick ass and am working on more.  My love life is still dismal and I purchased the 4th edition Dungeons and Dragons books the other weekend.  So we can see where I’m headed.  Hopefully I pull my ostrich head out of the sand soon and check out the world.

I thank you all for reading and sticking around, though.  You’re all nice people.

Okay, some big changes are coming to this website.

Most importantly, I have (finally!) registered joshuabelville.com.  This will now be the central site for my music and acting.  It will be a website resume, bascially.  zornog.net, meanwhile, will house my personal stuff, like this blog, and comics, and writings, and etc etc.  That doesn’t mean jb.com won’t be active, it’s just that it will be specific for my music and acting.

So!  Be prepared to bookmark that site.  I imagine it will go live in February or March, depending on how busy I am in February.

I have also, for my own protection, registered zornog.com and zornog.org.  My site used to be on zornog.com, before it expired and some bastard parked on it for years.  Now it’s free and I have it!  Hoorah.  (for the record: someone is currently parked on joshbelville.com, or else I would’ve bought it instead of joshuabelville.com).

Okay, so if you haven’t checked out Test Comic yet, you should click that link.  What was originally an attempt to make good speech bubbles has become a mind of its own.  I won’t explain anymore, I’ll just ask you to click the image and check it out.  I think it’s pretty funny.  But then again, I find it hilarious when I fart, so to each their own, I guess.

Okay, I’ve spent enough time here; I must go memorize lines.  Go read the comic!  Be ready for joshuabelville.com!  Do other things that are awesome!  Okay bye!

Hi everyone!  My website hath been down for many moons.  Nothing serious — my domain name expired, that’s all.  GoDaddy was nice enough to let me know about this the day it expired, so that I had to scramble to find a way to renew.  See, the same day that my domain expired, I had gotten a new bank account here in Oregon, so I didn’t have a debit card.  I tried to use my temporary debit card but it wouldn’t work, so I was freaking out a bit.  And then I remembered that I could transfer money to my PayPal account … and that’s what caused the delay in renewing my domain, literally waiting for the “check to clear,” so to speak.  But it did this morning and so now the site is back up for another year!

Now I just gotta pay my webhost bill … which is a bit outlandish…

Anyway, I’m busy with work and the play, Test Comic will come back as soon as I get a chance to make some more, and you should all check out the 12 EP Project if you haven’t already.  I’ve gotten some nice responses but not as many as I’d like!  Go, download, listen and respond!

Now I’m off to work!
