Hello, It's been a while since I last posted, so I figured I'd fill you in on what's been happening with me for the last year or so..

I goofed, basically.

I've had Bipolar I for what feels like my whole life in hindsight, but the last two years really exacerbated my symptoms.. well, when I smoked weed to cope with it that is. That's on me, my bad G.
I've recently been getting actual professional help for it, and I've been pushing myself to get my manic backlog done. Apologies to those who've been awaiting a response in regards to commissions, I'm generally just bad at replying to more than one person at a time, and even then with all of the time I was forcibly away from my phone (4 Hospitalizations since March 2021) I struggle, But that doesn't mean don't try! I have an entire list of people I've been meaning to get back to but I can only do things one at a time. It's kinda nice not being glued to my phone for a change, but we'll get there lmao.

Right now I'm working on getting out of debt, Kai (dirdwolf) has been very supportive with me and I feel blessed to have him as a husband. He's been helping me stay upright and I finally feel like I did before I started trying to cope with my inadequacies with stimulants and weed, (again, whoops) with that being said: I've been sober since Thanksgiving, and I'm really feeling it! Drawing has been my drug of choice since I could hold a pencil and I am glad I'm able to do so for all of you. Thank you.

I really wanted to make a journal about my Iron Artist queue, because the last one was a little mania induced I feel, gotta be more realistic, ya dig? So yeah I'm going to continue pushing out art as hard as I can (heh) and I hope I can post here more!

To those that have continued to support me on patreon, please know how blessed I feel, it means a lot knowing I can at the very least keep a roof over my head, to all my friends and fans, lets get this bread.

Happy New Year x

Jess
