October Update - lots has happened.
a year ago
Ahoy.
Yeah, a lot has happened since my last journal, so I'll tl;dr it -
Shortly after posting my last journal, I was informed by my roomates that I needed to move out. This turned into a long string of frustrating interactions with various places because of the trashfire that is the US housing situation. It took a lot longer than expected, and I have so many letters of rejection it made me depressed and angry for a while, especially since I was trying to juggle work and everything else on the side. I had to use a lot of unpaid time off, but eventually managed to get myself a place.
Now that I'm settled in my new bunker, still unpacking, I got my art station set up. Unfortunately I lost a lot of files when an external HD got stolen out of my car... I hope they enjoy trying to crack it and the sheer amount of illustrated fuckery contained within... and, like, 12 gigs worth of Adventure Time episodes. (Actually kinda sad about that last bit.)
Now that I have my own place I can get back to working on stuff without worrying about anyone seeing what sort of shameful shenanigans I have on the canvas, and I'm feeling a bit more relaxed now... still lots to do, but feeling good about things. Might be up for doing a collab or trade sometime, who knows.
My life is currently a mess but hanging in there. Apologies for dropping off like that, and some have even wondered if I was dead, but you know me; I don't have time to die, I'm too busy.
Oh, I also shut down my twotter acct. Fuck that place.
Big thanks to those few who keep up with me though! You guys keep me going, even if one of them is a catbird who thinks she literally owns my soul. Jokes on you- I'm irish. We don't have souls.
Anyways, I'm going to chug this day old coffee and get back to it. Expect a small art dump later today, and if anyone needs me I'll be trying to figure out the best way to annoy my neighbors without knocking the wall down.
Cheers!

There is nothing better than being quiet in your art studio without worrying if someone is watching what you are doing on the canvas XD.
Enjoy that great coffee 😎
By the way, I have also removed all my content from X and to be honest, it felt satisfying, that site sucks and it's going to get worse and worse. I'm going to delete the page after a few days.
take care and hugs!
Let's hope it's a more permanent one.
