hello, my dearest dudes!

those who have stumbled upon my journals through the last couple of years might not be surprised at all that i’m having health issues again; it happens frequently. i’m here to inform anyone who might be interested that this time i disappeared due the sequence covid>infectious arthritis>acute arthritis that i’m currently dealing with. it affects my ability to draw (currently it’s mainly the speed) a lot and i hope to recover soon by taking my medication and following a strict anti-inflammatory diet.
i’ve already been through this in my teenage years and last time it took me more than two years to get into remission. i hope it happens faster this time but… yeah. it seems like i’m going to have these joint pains for a few months at least. i’m sorry for taking such a long pause with the commissions and pre-discussed pieces. just wanted to clarify what’s going on here. thank you so much for your patience!

anyway, it’s not possible for me to rot without drawing anymore — both mentally and financially. also the recovery’s dynamic is slow but it definitely is there. so lately i started to draw again on the days i feel better! and today is the day and i want to celebrate it with a little something i’ve been thinking about for quite a while now! i’m finally gonna test streaming of my process on picarto. it’s exciting and i want to invite you to the grand opening, ha-ha! the image is going to be relatively blurry but this issue is to be solved soon. i would appreciate it a lot if you could give me some feedback on the screen streaming speed and tell me if the music is heard; etc
sending smoochies!
