At the end of September of last year, I moved out of my home and moved to a different area in the WA state to get out of an abusive household. I'm actually homeless.

My dad was literally keeping me from getting a job and then he'd complain that I'd be sitting around unemployed and make inappropriate comments about the tank top I was wearing or that I wasn't covering up my bikini top when we were out at a FAMILY GATHERING and all that good shit.

Some of you guys have sent me notes asking how I am and that we should talk more or even wanting to commission me but lately I haven't even had the energy to draw much less come up with an answer for you guys without it sounding like I'm being extremely rude.

At the start of December, I got lucky and got a job as a dog bather, in training to be a dog groomer.

While yes, I very much enjoy my job, it's mentally and physically exhausting. There are days where I come home, just check everything- don't respond to anyone, maybe fave one or two pictures, before needing to close my laptop to nap or just recharge after working my full time job.

Sometimes my days at work are easy and I have motivation to draw afterwards but most of the time I come home exhausted and I can't draw. That's why I've only uploaded like two things in the past month and so on. I've been busy and tired.

I apologize to those who were trying to contact me and then I didn't respond because I was exhausted. Commissions might be slow for those who order stuff but please please PLEASE

understand that I don't mean to seem mean or rude. I WANT to draw. I WANT to do fun shit but my new job drains me.

I'm sorry..
