Production slow down continues - Production of new art is about half of what I normally can do as its been very hard to deal with the construction noise lately. Yesterday was a good example of what's been going on for the past 3 weeks. At 7:30am there was a very loud machine working next to the building and it was so bad that I had to go out for much of the day. Talking to those that run the place several of my neighbours have asked how long this is going to continue, we should get an answer sometime in the next week. The only times that any production can be done is weekends, holidays and the occasional weekdays when the noise isn't as severe, I'm hoping to start the raffle picture later today but should be able to by tomorrow for sure.

Commissions - Once the raffle art is done I plan to start the pending commissions and will do those as much as possible when the noise isn't so bad. I may also clean up a few old doodles here and there during that time so that there's something new to post on a regular basis. Will also be posting some older art and anything new on Bluesky to continue building my presence there. I've noticed that in the past couple of months that I get more response there than I did on the blue bird site where my content was throttled/ shadow banned.

Power upgrade - We were just told that in the first week of December the power is going to be shut off for about 11 hours on one of those days. No production will be possible that day as the local grid is going to be upgraded by the power authority in our area. I'm not going to be at home either and have some plans to be away from here during the time that power is off.

Apologies to those waiting for commissions or other projects but the noise pollution near my work space is frequently quite bad and it's unknown when it's going to be over.
