I've had a rough few years of basically trying full-time to recover from extended mental health problems, caused in large part by constant financial insecurity and business stress. I came to the conclusion recently that commission work isn't helping my situation any more, so I've started looking for more traditional full time jobs. As far as decisions go, it threw me for a loop with how inevitable it felt, especially as professional art has been my life for the last decade, at least.

I'll be finishing up the YCH auctions and then closing down shop as far as commissions go. Hopefully having a day job to support myself will help me find my way back into art for its own enjoyment - even now I've been more fulfilled by hobbycraft than digital art for the last few years.
I won't be leaving the online art scene, on the contrary my hope is that taking this new direction will help me heal creatively and breathe some new life into the stories I still have in my heart.

All the love in the world to my regular customers for helping me support myself, it's been one of the highlights of my life working with you ♥
