Rebuilding, Expanding & Reconnecting 💖
5 months ago
Hey everyone! 💕
It’s been a long time coming, but I wanted to take a moment to share what I’ve been up to and where I hope to take things moving forward. I’ve been part of this community since 2011 and have been offering commissions since 2009. So much has changed since then, and honestly, I really miss the energy and connection we all used to have here.
Over the years, I’ve slowed down on posting and haven’t been as consistent as I once was. Lately, though, I’ve been feeling inspired again ..ready to rebuild, get organized, and reconnect with all of you. Whether you’ve followed me for a while or just recently joined, thank you for being here.
I’ve been meaning to write a journal like this for a while, but to be honest..I’ve felt some fear. I’ve noticed how much my traffic has slowed down over time, and I’ve wondered if it’s due to my art style shifting, my inactivity, or maybe just the natural changes that come with growth. I’ve been trying to accept where I am now and focus on building something new: a more intentional, organized space where I can truly connect with the community again.
So here are some updates on what’s happening and what’s to come:
⸻
🌟 What’s New:
• I’ve officially set up a Ko-fi to streamline commissions and payments!
🔗 Ko-fi Commission Page
• I’m expanding and organizing a few private servers to connect more personally with folks and create a cozy creative space.
• Streaming is coming soon! I’ll be drawing live on Picarto (still working on getting it set up), where we can hang out, chat, and even do in-stream commissions.
• I’m also updating my Trello, which will show my current commission queue and progress. I’ll post a separate journal with that link once it’s ready.
• And finally after years…I’ve written a full Terms of Service! That will also be included in a separate journal along with my Trello and Ko-fi info.

🐾 I Need Your Input
Since I’ve been around a while, I’d really love to ask:
✨ What made you watch me?
✨ What do you remember most from the earlier days of FA that made things feel alive?
✨ And what would you like to see more of from me moving forward?
I’m always open to tips or constructive feedback..even though I’m a little sensitive 😅 I really do want to grow and improve.
I don’t just want to sell art…I want to build connection. I’ve realized how much I’ve missed that, both in my own creative process and in engaging with others. So let’s rebuild that space together.
⸻
💌 Let’s Reconnect
I’d love to hear from you!
Whether it’s suggestions, memories of how FA used to feel, or just thoughts on how to stay engaged in a changing art world.
Thank you so much for sticking with me and supporting me through all the ups and downs. I’m excited to start creating with fresh energy and deeper intention. 💗
More to come very soon!

FA+

I saw you by random chance (2015!), I liked your style and the price was right.
I think things like discord weren't big yet, so a lot more activity in comments and journals. The life is still alive, it just moved.
I honestly don't know!
