State of things...
10 months ago
Howdy everyone,
I'll not get dreadfully into the situation, but I doubt it'll come as any surprise to those sensible living within the US. Recent news has shaken me tremendously, and put into perspective many aspects of my life and circumstance. Everything I'd been working toward... Sacrificed for... dreamed about and planned over the years is at great risk and I'm still struggling with picking up the pieces. Facing many large life changes with little time to prepare.
Reflecting what I mentioned already on Bluesky and to my patrons: I'm going to try and stay positive and focused as possible. Current plan is to continue working fulltime as an artist. My dream. I've sacrificed and devoted more of myself into this skill than anywhere else. It means the world to me.
The future looks uncertain, and I know people are worried/scared. We've got to stick together. Support other artists/creators now more than ever, not corporations or large businesses. Things are about to get very difficult, so please look out for each other.
I'll be offering commissions of various types along with ko-fi doodles and my patreon is always open. But I also want to do more artist shout-outs + signal boosts for others, so keep an eye for those.
I would not be here without this support from all my wonderful routine clients and pals and this community. You all have kept me alive... You allowed me to live out this dream of mine thus far.
I do hope that won't need to change-- and I will inevitably be leaning on this community for support-- to forge ahead if I am to continue. I hope there will be a future for my art career, and thank you for all you've done for me. 🧡
I'm sorry in advance for any delays in turn around times. I'll try and keep everyone informed if they'll be over the usual grace-period. I just ask for patience, please. I'm trying, and there's more going on than I feel comfortable saying online anymore.
Thank you again to everyone who's been here and supporting me so far. You're great and I am wishing everyone the best.
Thanks for reading,
