Been doing my own thing lately. My render projects have still been set aside as I've worked on some personal goals—got other hobbies I've been giving attention to. I have been dabbling in a bit of creative writing, short-form stuff just to improve my skill and fulfill some creative desires. If I complete anything, I'll share it.

Honestly, a lot has happened, especially here in the US, obviously. Tough times ahead. I'm encouraging myself to mentally prepare for the unknown. Art has been my escape for many years, but some things we just have to deal with. Improve what we can, change when we need to. I've been changing myself a bit over the past year. We'll see where it takes me.

When it comes to the status of art projects, my previous journals are fairly unchanged. Just haven't been touching the old stuff, with all the other things I've been focused on. We'll see what the future brings: a return to fantasy worlds, as a temporary escape from the real one, might be needed at some point.

I'll be around, but might continue be fairly quiet on the art front. Keep taking care of yourself, help take care of others if you can. Hold on to your community, and stay strong together.
