Life Updates!
2 years ago
This has been a few months in progress, and the only one who has known about this is Newie, but I think it's time to make my announcement public.
As of October 21, 2023 I will be moving to working on art full time.
My decision to move on from running my pet store was a decision to be taken lightly, but I decided that it was in my best interest to do so. Running both an online art business and a brick and mortar business full times was a herculean task that left me tired around the clock and my creativity has suffered as a result. Since I am at the point where my art is self sustaining (and the store was mostly just a hobby that I didn't make much money from), this is the best decision for me personally.
Now... what does that mean for my online followers.
It means that I have more time to dedicate to art, there will be more content!
- First and foremost, I am hoping that since I won't be tired and stressed all the time, my writing muse will come back to me! That means more comics and if I'm really ambitious, maybe a written story or two.
- More cons! Without a store to run and more time to work on stocking, it will allow me to deal at more conventions! Starting in late 2024 and 2025, I am hoping to be attending more conventions in the midwest area! That means more opportunities to meet some of you!
- Eventually I want to branch out and deal at normal comic cons, which means I'm going to do some more fan-art type things and art that would appeal to more than just the furry community on top of the furry art I'm already doing. A lot of this new art will be on DeviantArt only since there isn't much interest in it here... so if you don't want to miss out on this extra art, make sure you're following me there as well.
- More physical art like fursuits and resin dice! I may even open up for fursuit commissions for the first time ever!
- I'm also hoping to open up for commission specials like I used to do. Maybe even revive the calendar project from the dead!
A big thank you to all of you!
I know I'm getting grumpy as I get older, but I do genuinely appreciate all of you! It's because of you guys that I can work on my passion as a living and I'm excited to open up this new chapter in my life!

My job also requires me to give a lot of my time, but I have decided to resume my artistic hobbies like drawing and crafts.
I wish you luck with your future projects 🙂🍀
Seeing more content from you will be great, though, because you're damn good at what you do, whether it's working with birds or drawing them!
I miss the calendars!
