Life Update: Pardon the Silence
3 years ago
Hey there everyone, I know it's been a rough go lately, considering my previous posts, and I rather dropped off the map there for a short while. As you know my father was fighting stage 4 Lung Cancer, and it was just a matter of keeping him comfortable during the whole process.
He passed just about a week ago after a sudden downturn post Radiation Therapy.
Now, this is rather bittersweet. He's gone, but he's not hurting anymore, and near the end he refused hospice and I was doing round-the-clock care every two hours or so. It was my life for a while there, and now he has moved on, he, before his mind failed him, made me promise to continue working as soon as I could as well. I am just picking up the pieces now, and I likely will be for a while yet, with paperwork, and cleaning, and helping with all the lovely legalities of someone leaving this earth.
However, I plan on re-opening the doors on Clientwork, and hope to be posting more on the regular by the first of October. It will likely be a bit more varied, Pixel Art, Design, as well as the usual illustrations. I will also be studying some new things which I won't talk about until I can prove I can stick to them. Keep an eye out.
Love you guys, thank you for being awesome. Looking forward to bringing more goodies to you all. :)

Cancer is a tough one, I remember when my aunt had a brain tumor and within 4 months she was gone.
Your dad is a step closer, of course.
Let it inspire you to live life fully, as you never know how much time you've got left.
Keep on doing your art for sure.
Just...hang in there.
Will do.
It's good that you seek to extend your reach as well, challenging yourself out of your comfort zone is never a bad exercice !
And of course how kind of you to reopen business just after my birthday
just as planned!It's been a big help honestly, the bit of normalcy lessens the blow a bit.
Thank you so much and my plans came to fruition! MUAHAHAHAHAHAH Er.... I swear that wasn't planned! :)
I hope you take care of yourself as time moves forward.
