That was the end, indeed.

I am terribly sorry to have kept you all waiting, but sadly I must announce that this is the end of Closet Inc.
Thank you all for your participation, in comments and suggestions, and to everyone who helped with the ideas and promotion: it’s been a good five years.
The website will NOT be taken down, and it’s most likely that I’ll keep paying for the domain, so all the comics will remain accessible, should you wish to read them again.
If you have any question concerning an unresolved issue with a character or a plot, please ask, I’ll be happy to answer as honestly as possible.
You can still see more of my art on deviantART, and I also now have a tumblr account where I write and post… stuff.
Once again terribly sorry for everyone who had been waiting for more… =/
Best wishes to all :3

So sometimes things suck

Hello, lovely people, long time no write.
I hope you had a lovely end of February. I am now back in Quebec (since Monday) and quite looking forward to move in with my sister’s family in about a month.
The past few weeks have been silent here and I apologize. I have had things to solve in my head and pretty much got off the Internet for a few weeks.
Now that I’m back though, I intended to start drawing comics again. However, a moment ago, my laptop seems to have died on me. As my computer is the gateway for anything closet inc., well, this doesn’t look good.
Long story short, until I manage to get it fixed, or buy a new one with the little money I have left, I doubt there will be any updates here =/
I have 2 computer techs in my family, so here’s hoping for the best…
In the meantime, I wish you a very nice beginning for spring – or autumn, if you live in the south hemisphere – and talk to you soon, hopefully…!

Helloes. Long time no… write?
I’ve had a lovely time in England over New Year’s Eve and the first week of January. One of my friends introduced me to her job – archivist – for which I had expressed interest, and it just totally blew my mind on how fun and interesting I’ve found it. I know now what I want to study when I come back to Quebec (countdown: 40 days left in Finland)!
For some reason, knowing what I want to do as a long-term job made something click in my… head, mind, soul, whichever. I’m now a lot more relaxed about that whole Future thing everyone’s talking about.
For some other reason, I’ve experienced a wave of artistic inspiration like I don’t remember having in the past 6 years. I now start random drawings on paper that end up being colored by pencil (I hate pencils) if needed and some who are just tediously long to draw but that I stubbornly finish anyway (I’m usually lazy about that).
So, in short: the artist in me is kinda revived.
Now the bad part: it doesn’t include Closet Inc.
No, it’s not that I lack inspiration or ideas. I’m not… bored with it either. But it’s pretty much been the only thing I have drawn in the past 4 years, and like a child outgrowing its toys, I’m also going toward things suiting my “new” state of mind better.
No, this is not the end of Closet Inc. To all the people who read every comic and to my character, I feel like I owe you all more than unfinished story lines. I just need some time to do something else, and then to learn to reconcile both branches of my creativity
There is currently 2 projects I’ve begun, one of which has a close deadline and the other which is just stupidly long but well begun. I’ll be finishing those and then hopefully resume Closet Inc. normally, but we’ll see. You’ll have something new by Valentine’s Day
TL;DR – Closet Inc. is on hiatus
until February 14th at the latest.
Thank you to all who’ve supported me through these -almost- 5 years, and I hope 2011 is beginning well for you anyway :3

So this is the end

Of another 12 months of our lives.
Honestly, though there has been less happy moments (there always is at some point), I’m really happy with what the year has been like for me. New friends, new experiences, and a huge load of learning.
Closet-wise, it’s been incredible. Firstly because I finally got my own website (you have no idea how proud I am of those 3 words: closet-inc.com), then because I pretty much managed to set up a weekly update pattern and stick to it. I’ve met new people thanks to it, and I managed to get drawings signed by 2 of the most influential bands in my comics – Uniklubi and Negative.
I came up with storylines rather than just one-joke comics. I introduced new characters – 3 of them original ones, which is also one of my biggest accomplishments. I have loads of ideas, or half-formed ideas, for the next year.
You can expect at least to see band pages by the end of January, and a page for my signed promo drawings
Tomorrow I’ll be flying to England for a week and a half, as the first real time off since Sweden in March (or the summer before that, if you count that I joint-babysat with Pinkass). This means that after 25 comics in a row, I’m taking a little vacation
I should be back by January 8th, so you may or may not get a comic on that Saturday. We’ll see how England likes it to let me go
And then, upon my return on January 7, there will be exactly 2 months left to my Finnish residency… for now. And then, exciting new prospects back in Quebec!
Looking forward to everything, really.
So here’s to another year gone by, on which we should not dwell, but learn from, and move on to another cycle of seasons full of surprises and opportunities. Kippis!!

Repost: Eurobands
June 2, 2010 | Say something!
Just to let you know, I have added the comics originally published on Eurobands. They have the original date stamp (the day they were published on EB) so don’t expect them as new comics. You can however see them by the Eurobands tag.

Lil Lii vs. Life
May 19, 2010 | Say something!
You know, I think I will (already) derogate to the weekly thing.
Upcoming update schedule:
From Sunday 23rd until Saturday 29th, week-long marathon of “Why Life Dislikes Lil Lii”.
Return to weekly pathern on June 5th.
Possibly wonky update schedule during the summer, as I’ll be going around a lot (Rovaniemi, Lappeenranta, Tallinn, and much traveling between Valkeakoski and Tampere and Helsinki).
It’s looking like summer here, I’ve started wondering if I’m still in Finland >_>
