Hey there dudes and dudettes... NG here with another update for those who want to know what's going on with me in 2016. I'll try and keep the "woe is me" to a minimum and try and get straight to facts. After opening commissions late last year, things were going pretty smoothly, despite the holiday season slowing me down as it naturally would. Unfortunately when January came around I had come down with a serious pneumonia that kept me on the shelf for two weeks or so and unable to produce anything of quality for at least three. By the time February came around I had bills and payments stacking up, and the only way to keep from going under was to take on another handful of commissions...

You see where this is going.

While February was a little slow going and I wasn't able to put up streams as I had hoped, I did manage to knockout a good handful of commissions. Even still the cycle of being in art-debt and being and life debt kind of created what seemed to be a vortex that began spinning out of control. It was the biggest thing on my mind until earlier this month, my younger sister passed away, which has not only taken an emotional toll but another financial one as well. I managed to get things situated with a lot of help and generosity, but I have to go another month in the hole one last time before things can get better. I'm not trying to gather sympathy or make excuses, I've taken longer on commission batches with less reason... but this is just to give an update on what's going on and this piss poor year that's transpired thus far.

To everybody on my commission list (here or offsite) please understand that I'm going to need some more time to get things sorted and finished, but I promise that your pictures will be completed and that will be up to par with what's expected. That said, this will be my final batch of commissions as an artist, for two reasons; because the pressure that can be caused by them takes away the joy from drawing filth the way I like... but more importantly is that I'm just not capable of doing this professionally, in a way that you people deserve. After this batch is finished I'm only going to draw when I feel the need and when I feel happy to do so. Apologies to everyone who wanted a picture but I need to do things on my own terms and in my own way if I'm going to try and stay positive. I really do love drawing what I draw, but it needs to come from a place of passion, and not commitment.

With that being said, I truly want to thank everyone who has been patient and supportive of me of the years, and I hope you all stick around to see me through to the other side. Thank you.
