Pinch me! I quit my job & now I'm a full-time furry artist!
10 years ago
General
After months of decision making I finally had the last straw with my dead-end job of 10 years and handed in my notice!
The weight and stress off of my shoulders is indescribable, and I am so grateful to my wonderful wife
and best friend
christicalico for making this a possibility.
I am so grateful to everyone who has been so kind and positive to me in the fandom.
You all are the best and there's no fandom out there as fantastic and genuine as ours.
I am so glad to be back in this loving and affectionate world.
One of the factors that gave me further confidence in the decision to quit is the number
of commissions I am getting and how much quicker I am able to get them done.
My focus is keen, my stamina is high, and I know my mistakes from my first years in
the fandom and where to avoid them. All is clear. I see The Matrix. X3
Another factor in this decision is the positive and astounding response to my Patreon.
Honestly, seriously, truly, this is the linchpin that makes it possible to be a
full-time furry artist because of what I am able to earn on Patreon.
It is a no-paywall tip jar of gratitude, and the more patrons I have,
the better and more frequent the rewards will be to all.
I know we are living in difficult times, and the truth is we always will be.
However, artists and creators have always depended upon patrons and commissions to bring art to the world.
We are very fortunate to live in this time and I think it only takes but a moment to
compare life as it is now to how things would have been decades to centuries ago.

In other news my YCH Character Animation & Don Bluth Indiegogo was a success!

I am in tears right now.
Thanks to you I am taking redetermined steps to being an animator...
something that I wanted to be ever since I was 5 years old.
Thank you so much, everyone, for giving me your support and words of
encouragement. My love for my friends and this fandom is fathomless.
Gratefully,
Grrrwolf

Never bet against the Grrr.
I think I saw you at one of the bowling meets, too, but I was in a hurry on someone else's time so I couldn't stop.
Thank you for the well wishes, it's great to be out of there.
