Update on a few Things
a year ago
Hey folks.
Just a couple of things. My con circuit is complete and I was glad to go to all the cons. I connected with old and new friends and I also got to wear a partial. I'm still planning out next year, but I'm currently thinking four conventions next year.
Second, if you follow me on Twitter, you probably saw the announcement that I've moved over to Bluesky. If not, I am going to be more active on that site than Twitter from now on. I will check messages there and continue to poke artists that remain there, but I dislike the changes going on there and last week was the final straw. I've tolerated the changes for awhile, but between bots, AI, and finally the new "block" feature, it makes the app less usable and I prefer to go somewhere where I have an easier time to discover artists.
I went through my follow list and followed almost everyone on Bluesky. Plus, it is not crippling me to move over, since I don't make money on the site and I never really cared for the followers. To be honest, most of the followers I had might have been bots.
Hopefully this doesn't impact my support for artists that much. They are rather over there already or I also follow them on FA. But, I've included the link in my profile, so feel free to check it out.
Other than that, my plan this week is to start posting some of my old art. I have quite the backlog and I would like to catch up. It doesn't help I like to write stories and I want to be in the mood for such things, but I'm feeling pretty good right now, so hopefully I can start back up tomorrow.
Thank you all for the support from my last post. I try not to vent my business on social media, but my activity was abysmal and I wanted to at least give an explanation why.
Also feel free to contact me if you wish to collaborate on something! I don't mind using my own characters, but I always have fun going in on good ideas.
