2021 was frankly a bit of a bust as far as what I managed to put out. I think it was maybe only 20? 30? things at most (no I will not be counting thank you) and even those weren't any big hits.

I'm going to blame only some of it on the job I got new back in May-- Waking up at 4am, up to 10 hour days, 2 hour drive home at 100 miles a day... It paid better than my previous job, for sure, but just killed me. I got into drinking way more than I should have, and as you know art + wobble hand = no art . The rest of it, well, personal stuff that I won't get into, but I was... Really miserable for a good while.

But I'm out of there now-- It caused a recurrent medical problem to pop up again, on top of a new one, and my mate and I decided it was probably best I head out. Between the job and some changes in my life, I'm feeling a lot better, so that's a good thing! I can spend my focus and time with whom, and on what, I want.

Which means I get to look for a new job! Hooray! You'd figure in this market that'll go pretty quick 'n all, but who really knows. There's some companies I morally cannot work at that (here's looking at you, JojoMart) and some more personal moral qualms that are shooing me out of other jobs. But, I've still got you, my wonderful watchers, and I can always make some art.

Here's to a new year, better than the last, and actually creating some fun and beauty in this one. Thanks all!
