Completed SLY about a week ago. Three 24 page silent stories plus covers. No more comics work on the horizon for a while (although Calypso is available and Cemetary Tales is coming soon). I' am doing single drawings and will begin oil painting a little later to get back to basics and improve my skills.
I've finished "Great Outdoors"! It's something of a cautionary example of working without a script: I originally expected it to be 8–10 pages, but it grew page by page as I worked on it, and now it's finally clocked in at 20 pages. Which doesn't sound like that much, but it's the longest single piece I've illustrated myself, and somewhat artistically challenging work, blending photos with drawn figures. It's the capstone of the second year of JAQrabbit Tales, so it's nice to have it done!
This is a tentative pat on the back - but I finished the interior art to Wahoo Morris this week - page 200/201.
I still have 3 covers to do for the Comixology releases and I have to copy edit and compile the print ready file for Wahoo Morris Book 2.
I think I'm still a little numb. This project has been hanging over my head since I cancelled the Image run in 2000. And it's been 11 years since I revived it and began working on completing it. There's been a lot of distractions, both day job and side projects that kept bumping it to the bottom of the pile, but it's finally nearing release.
This project (and it's incompleteness) has defined me for so long I'm not really sure what to do with myself or where to go from here now that it's done.

SUMMER, a script I mostly hand-wrote in spring 2015 but never completed, is done. Typed, edited, and trimmed from 16 to 12 pages for potential inclusion in an anthology about mental illness (or self-publication). This is the first piece I have written and completed since my separation/divorce began that month, so I'm really happy it's complete. And I feel it's a good piece post-edit and I'm eager to see it drawn and published.
