OMG .... Apologies to all.
12 years ago
I do so apologize to all for the random bout of half-silence. There are comittments here that I owe (art trades, community groups, etc) that I owe. In the coming days I will be working on them.
My plan is to have, each Friday evening (EST aka -5 GMT), a live streaming session dedicated to past due works and responsibilities.
Please understand, I am still getting my life back together. There are a lot of emotional scars still present, and a lot of my time is devoted to my kids, as my responsibilities as a (now single) parent are tremendous. Not having a partner in this, even with the support network I have around here, makes things a lot more difficult.
I have found that scheduling is vital to keeping my sanity. If I don't schedule art time for myself the depression gets bad. This then feeds in on itself, and makes it difficult to do ANYTHING.
So I'm taking this evil bull by it's horns and hopefully I find some grounding in doing that.
Any personal art done is likely for my "therapy", to put me into a better frame of mind. Sometimes if I feel an art block coming on I'll doodle for the sake of doodling!
My future goals are to generate enough cash for an in-hotel sitter for my kids so I can start attending cons as a speaker/dealer. I really enjoyed it at FAUnited. I'm hoping to get to Furfright, Anthrocon, FAUnited, (hopefully the Baltimore Con goes another year) etc.. Anything East-Coast that I can manage.
I need to find my "niche", that thing that makes me stand out from other artists. I'm not sure what it is... any ideas?

Keep a look out tonight on my livestream page! Around about 9:30 (pass it on!)

Yeah I completely understand it still sucked. FA was lacking in artistic driven panels and we certainly missed you!
