Weeeeee're BAAAAaaaaaaack: Story and Help! Please Read <3
11 years ago
FIRST OF ALL. We love all of you who noticed our absence, asked if everything was okay, and told us you missed us. It REALLY means a lot.
Now for the explanation of our absence (again).
Frankly, we've both been pretty heavily focused on the stuff we have to do instead of the stuff we LIKE to do, which sucks, but is sadly sometimes necessary.
PB Is coming up to a crossroads, at work, where she has the chance of getting into a nice and cushy full-time position, as opposed to the shittier alternative part-time position she's currently stuck in. So she's been focusing most of her time in bettering herself and her portfolio so she can hopefully nab the position from all of the other hungry hands reaching for it. Please please please wish her luck in that, it'd be great for us if she lands it.
Now for my (Dreyfus') story. I am an animator. I make cartoons for a living, and have worked on 4 shows thus far. Its an interesting and stressful job, and I'm frankly not the biggest fan of it. Animation; when its good its great, and when it's bad its a ravenous pile of shit and depression. I was with one company for a few months, on night-shift over the winter and into spring, before becoming so miserable I took the first offer to work elsewhere that was brought to me. The good news is, after taking the job, I was no longer miserable, the bad news is, sadly it was only a short-term contract and has since ended. The money from that contract has now ended as well. I am currently job-hunting, and have been talking with a couple of new studios seeking animators, but all of those interested are in cities I would have to move too, and that is not an option for us at the moment. So I am currently jobless until the next local animation hiring faze, which is looking like September...
So now comes my plea for help. I need to make as much money as I can off of commissions and other freelance pursuits so I can try and and lessen the damage to PB from rent/bills. She is an amazing woman, who is happy to support me as best as she can, but I can't live off of someone without feeling that inevitable soul crushing guilt. This is the best I can do for her right now, and I am REALLY hoping you'll all help me out.
I will be posting a full list of commission prices, as well as an auction or two, very soon. Until those are posted please feel free to note me with requests for any commission you would like. At the moment pretty much anything goes in terms of content, as my need to pay bills greatly outweighs my normal artistic proclivities and hangups.
Please help me spread the word to all of your friends. Please commission me, share our page, and explain our situation to others. Please please PLEASE help me lessen the strain on an already stressed PB. I love her, and she has enough to worry about already without having to stress on whether or not she can keep us both housed and fed single-handedly.
So that's whats up.
Now, with all of that said, we missed you guys TOO! So happy to be back
