“Hello fellas.
I’m a full time low voltage electrician who mainly works In Manhattan, a father of two amazing girls and a husband to a beautiful blond. My day starts at 3-3:30 every morning including weekends. I begin my day with an hour at the gym, then a drive into work, depending on the commute could be 1hr and 15, I park and get in about 1hr and 30 to 2 hrs of comic art time. Then at 6:45 my full time job starts, driving home could be 2hrs 30min to 3hrs. Get home, have dinner with the girls, shower and rinse wash repeat the next work day. On The weekends I don’t go in because my wife works and I watch the girls, so I get about 3-4 hrs Saturday and 5-6 hrs on Sunday of Art time. I will never give up my routine because it has been working for the last 5 years when I started the early bird special start time, but oh man, creating and maintaining this lifestyle some times feels like such an impossible task. But I have gotten comic work and self published my own books. But the satisfaction of creator own and running your own projects are the greatest feeling ever. But at times it does seem like a mission impossible, but I refuse to ever give up.
You guys have been a fun part of my mornings every week, your mindful and positive focus needed to maintain a great work ethic, has been a great motivator on understanding this industry we know as storytellers.
Much appreciated,
M. Zapata
