So I got burnt out on art early this year and wanted to work on some other projects. This wouldn't have been a big deal, except that some time in May I developed severe back pain. I have no idea what happened or why. As far as I can tell it was basically "Jerma Disease" - just mysterious pain that prevented me from doing anything.

After about 2 months I realised it wasn't going away on its own, and when you can't sleep from the pain and even breathing is agony, everything seems hopeless and depressing, and consequently I didn't even want to do anything or talk to anyone, even if I could. Getting a doctors appointment was a nightmare, and it's only recently that I've managed to get to any kind of physiotherapy but, finally, after a bunch of failed rehab regimes, my back is now starting to improve to the point where I can draw again.

I'm not really back yet, but I am getting back, hopefully.
