*gasps!*
Long time with no update... eh. I'm sorri. My tablet was dying and I've been sick all of last week.
I will briefly share a bit of frustrastion here.
On Sunday, my shoulder and neck hurt. I had fever, and felt generally horrible. Took me 45 minutes to actually find the will to move around in my bed. Bad.
On Monday, I felt a bit better. In the evening, my throat started hurting, so I took a bit of syrup.
On Tuesday morning, it was hurting more. The day went by, and I progressively lost my voice, though I wasn't coughing. I bought a new type of syrup. An hour after, I started coughing.
On Wednesday, I went to the clinic and, after waiting for 3 hours, got antibiotics prescribed. An hour after I took the first dose, my nose started running. Dripping. It was like water. But from my nose.
(I named it, The Faucet)
On Thursday, it started clogging my sinuses. I went back to the clinic, they told me to wait, it'd probably go away by itself.
On Friday, at 3:30am, when I decided that trying to sleep was a waste of time, I also decided that I'd stop the antibiotics. After all, something that makes mucus flow down my throat and keeps me from resting can't really be that good for me to fight a throat infection, can it?
On Saturday afternoon, after having been meds-free for a bit less than 48 hours, I felt better than I had in a week. I cough from time to time, but I still have my voice.
I have the feeling that the more meds I took, the sicker I was. I got my lesson, thankyouverymuch.

In other, more funnier news, a few weeks ago I got FANART 8D
Ok, considering that most of my characters are fanarts of Finnish bands, it's kinda hard to draw fanart of my comics.
But it's possible!
SWHP, Pinkass, Commodore, Emily, PK, and now Rumors and Facts are all original characters.
One of my best friends - and also my idol, drawing-wise (I hate her) - Pakou, drew the following for me <333
I love her imterpretation of genderless/ful Rumors =) You can see another fanart she did of Commodore and Emily HERE. From there, just click on her username (mmstery) to see the rest of her beautiful artwork =D
P.S.: You can draw and send me fanart, too =D

Lately, my tablet has been acting up a little, so I decided it was time to replace it.
I had a graphire 4, and bought a nice Bamboo tablet today to replace my dying graphire. I love the design of the Bamboo <3>...I hope I'll get more votes than emails... :P

Opinions / Suggestions needed!
A few weeks / months / "insert time measure here" ago, I mentioned wanting to make buttons out of closet inc. drawings. For Christmas, some of my friends were the lucky / unlucky recievers of my first batch, which turned out quite nicely all in all. There were some corrections to do, mostly on colors and contrasts.
Now my question to you, dear readers / fellow stalkers (or maybe I should call you closeters? closeteers? clostalkers? join your suggestions on the matter) is, what would YOU want on buttons? Which drawing, text, quote? After all, they will be eventually yours, so it's only fair you get to choose.
Send your suggestions - button designs & closet readers nicknames - to closet.inc.sseksi(at)gmail(dot)com, whether or not you're planning on ordering buttons.
Pleaaaaaaasseeeeeeee write to meeeeeeeeeeee thank you =)
Details on said buttons: 1-inch metal buttons, will come in minimum order of 10 (can be all different designs) starting at 10$CAN, shipping included [2$ shipping to US & Canada, 4$ everywhere else]. All profits will go toward my comics: either toward a new graphic tablet - again -_-;; - or toward the hosting of closet inc. as an independant website (googlepages is going to disappear in a while, and googlesites is just not an option).

Jails and Bricks
Taken from Metal From Finland:
"FOR MY PAIN…, the Finnish "goth metal" supergroup featuring Tuomas Holopainen (NIGHTWISH) on keyboards, Altti Veteläinen (ETERNAL TEARS OF SORROW) on bass, Lauri Tuohimaa (EMBRAZE) on guitar, Olli-Pekka Törrö (ETERNAL TEARS OF SORROW) on guitar, Juha Kylmänen (REFLEXION) on vocals, and Petri Sankala (ETERNAL TEARS OF SORROW) on drums, will have its 2003 debut album, "Fallen", released in the U.K. via Spinefarm Records. In addition to the 10 tracks featured on the original release, "Fallen" — mixed by Mikko Karmila, a man who has shaped the sound of Finland's foremost rock acts — will come with the U.K.-only bonus track "Killing Romance", a chart single in Finland back in 2004."
I cannot help but smile and giggle a little at this, only because of my first comic, Dear Carniwhore (which, I'll remind you, was inspired by the FMP song of the same title). Hopefully this also means the project is not dead, and there could be a follow up.... =D
On another note, the other day I was thinking about random stuff and I came up with an interesting definition.
To brick someone: verb. To radically express your disagreement in a "constructive" way.
I think I'll try to think of more definitions like that XD

New use for this place...!
Hello there!
Lately I've been swaaarmed by emails - no, not true, not swarmed, but pleasantly showered with =D - and I thought, it'd be fun to give some news or just share some thoughts with the 'few' people reading my comics now (about 60 visitors a day, which is huge for me, in my humble opinion).
So, I shall post here from time to time, when I find, think or make up stuff that might interest you, very dear readers. =)
So, for this post, I want to thank deeply all of you, for your support and emails and laughs that I can almost hear from here. Closet Inc reached 50,000 visitors in a bit less than 3 years now, and considering I just did this to entertain my friends and I, I'm extremely flattered that so many people enjoy those little idiotic drawings. Yet, awfully grateful. <3
Also, I have to make mention of the latest friend request I got on CI's MySpace, from a girl whose username was 'Reality'. So it went like this, "Reality wants to be your friend!". I really thought, "I'm not interested, I make my own world :P" but accepted it of course. I just found it giggle-worth =)
Oooh, and I'm getting fanart! Wheeweeeheeee! <3
(Would have been hard to get fanart before, since basically, Closet Inc IS fanart XD)
Sooo... that's it for today I think.
Take care~~
