So most of you out there who listen to the SeqaLab podcast know that this weekend, we lost Jeremy Mullins. He passed after a freak accident and now we’re all scrambling to pick up the pieces. I planned on drawing this dedication comic and I seriously haven’t been able to draw all day. It sucks because I know that he would want me to just keep trucking, but I’m having the HARDEST time. This website you’re looking at was the result of several hours one on one with him. And much of my work on this comic is because of his influence and guidance.

I’ve dealt with loss before but Jeremy really impacted me in an entirely different way. I thought I was coping well, but I’m still having my moments of hardcore sadness. I have a great support system here with the other Seqahomies but it’s still so difficult. I can’t help but be angry at God and everything else in between. And just when I think I have my emotions under wraps something happens that reminds me that this just won’t be an easy fix. Jeremy wasn’t just my professor but an extremely close friend. It really sucks. My last meeting with him a week ago will forever stay with me. A lot of the things he told me were as if he knew he would be leaving us. It’s freaked me out in a crazy way. But his words will stay with me far into the future.

I’m stepping away from the webcomic this week to just deal. I’ll be visiting friends in Charleston and Charlotte. I’ll be at the Heroes Convention in Charlotte at the SCAD booth this weekend. The Mullins man would want that. I’ve been avoiding facebook like the plague because I can’t handle all of the notes and videos. I just need lots of space to deal. And now that the shock of his accident is subsiding in my mind, I have to deal with the reality that I’ll never see him again. I know that’s life, but it truly isn’t fair at all. He was a class act and I’ll always remember how much he respected the craft of comics. His level of professionalism will stay with me forever. He was super sincere and able to give alot of himself to so many people. Again, I’m sorry for the gloomy post. But I just don’t know what else to do.

Thanks again for the support. I’m going to try and pull it together, but I def. need time.

So yesterday was the memorial for Sweetwater. It was awesome and all sorts of sad at the same time. There was a large turnout and I believe my fellow SeqaHomie Ricky taped it all so it should be on the Seqalab site in due time. It def. gave me a bit of closure though I’ll never forget the guy. I’m gonna’ keep working hard knowing Jeremy would want that. And no worries, we’re going to get the podcast sorted out. I know some have been worried that it’s going to end but it’ll def. continue. no joke.

I also hit up Hereos Con this weekend and it was good seeing all of my buddies out in Charlotte. It’s also got me back on the working path seeing the things my peers were working on. I can wait to get Super Pro K.O.! done, and the next Lunar Boy book. I’m shooting to have them both done by SPX in September, and for APE in October. I’ll be at both cons so get ready for the awesomeness.

Once again, thanks for all the support last week and beyond. It has gone a long way in helping me deal with things. I certainly felt pretty depressed but I feel a lot better now. All the prayers, kind words, and thoughts have made things a lot easier. I won’t forget it peeps.

Look out for my latest Lunar Boy webcomic later this afternoon. It’s coming promise.

Jarrett!
