I'll be taking a break from publishing personal arts and, possibly, even commissions, at least until 2024 May 24th. Don't expect much movement here until then.

To reassure you, my immediate family is fine, including old Pear Mama and Pear Papa.

However, this morning I received the news of the loss of one of my best friends from high school. Has this been about 20 years of friendship, or more? He had long struggled with several health problems. But. Even so. It was very surprising. I'm literally still in disbelief. I'll be taking this break to deal with what happened, and offer all the support I can to anyone who needs it.

Thank you for understanding and see you soon. Take care and stay well 💜
