What's Going On, Moon?
2 years ago
Moon here.
It's been a bit since I did a life update journal. Well, I survived COVID. I caught it at the end of Feb / Early March. It was a weird 'dark night of the soul' moment for me. But I beat it, the cough is nearly gone, and the body aches are gone/back to my normal body aches. I had to use icy hot every fucking day to get up / move around for a while there. Gotta say that stuff is magic. And the smell isn't that bad, it's actually kind of soothing/ comforting. So that explains why some of my art that I post have older dates on it. ALSO because, because there was a nasty storm that hit my area not too long ago. and put my computer out of commission because my desk is by my room window and the storm BLEW THE WINDOW OUT. Glass everywhere, I'm okay, (aside from being a bit traumatized and it made my dissociative disorder freak out a bit) but my computer that I was using got wet and ruined for use. I am on my backup laptop after trying my dad's backup laptop which only had Windows 8 on it which is being phased out and is no longer compatible with any software. Soo while I am always doodling, there will be a backlog to catch up on - with uploading the art I want to share here for those who like my content. And to show my progress/growth as an artist in general.
I have been debating turning on the shinies or updating my ko-fi to see if anyone wants to donate to help a starving / struggling artist/writer out. But I talk myself out of it every time because no way is my work good enough for money yet. But my pencil sharpener broke. And I am a little nervous to try using my digital tablet because I don't want something to happen and that gets ruined too, even though the window is boarded up now. I am still a little rattled by losing my coping tool to survive in this dystopic world, my laptop computer. I really should get a desktop cos I'm a gamer too, but like previously mentioned, I am very poor / broke.
Transportation to places like the store for food is difficult because of my disability and inability to drive places. I am doing okay, but I could be doing better. I check art station for jobs in the art world. I enter writing contests but hardly ever win. I am looking for publishers, and have one submission I am trying to revise to get re-submitted to a publisher soon. It has just been challenging. And I am hoping things will windfall to something more financially stable soon. If anyone would like to support my artistic endeavors financially feel free to send me a note and we can talk it out. I am not sure I am ready to do commissions yet. Because my style/medium and ability to send things to the mail are a bit limited or slow at this time. But hopefully soon. I may turn on trades, just so it's like hey if you are open to the fact that my art is still developing and my skill growing, but you want to trade me some art supplies or something you drew that I like, then we can work it out. Barter system type thing or something? I am not sure.
Those are the main updates for now, I guess. Back to the doodle cave I go~
Stay awesome y'all

Thanks so much! I hope to get it repaired too.

OP
I am learning sign language, I have mental illnesses that sometimes have me go mute. So it helps sometimes. But I am nowhere near fluent. I am glad you got an iPad again. It is sad that Sign Languages are not more well-known or taught. I want to be a polyglot/hyperpolyglot and for any spoken language I learn, I want to learn the sign equivalent too, if possible.
