Hello there guys, this is Jake!

How your January has been so far?
For this lion it has been so hectic lately, because of the trainee period which actually ended yesterday (29th of January).
So what would happen after trainee period is now completed?

I found out during my last trainee period days that same store had few open jobs, 2 work for different departments for 6-12 hours a week (meaning for 2 days a week), one of them is temporal job (until end of August 2016) and second one is longer one.
I´ll find out how this will go after next week´s interview round and the results should be coming at second week of February.

So even though the job has so small amount of hours, I´m still accepting that cause it is really difficult to get a job nowadays and I have been so highly stressed and frustrated with not getting any job.
That has effected on my free time and also for ability to draw like I have used to *looks really embarrassed*
So I really hope that this will give me some new hope to get some job.
Lately I have been trying to think how to improve my art style and specially getting even more unique poses, but that has been a bit problematic to get them paper alongside overall frustration and stress with applying jobs.
But I seriously hope that I will be able to get more art done and really would like to get some commissions to get back to drawing phase.
That´s why I´ve been also invisible on Skype most of the time, cause I´m still trying get some time to release the stress and frustration..(Skype being retarted at times by showing you online even though you are turned off your computer doesn´t help, sorry if I have been so silent there for some of you.).


I also realized that this year will be more anniversaries coming along than just my 30th birthday at April 2nd.
Turns out that at June 2011 was my very first version of Jake´s fursuit finished and made it´s debut at Anthrocon 2011, so... that means, that 2016 will also be my 5th anniversary for my fursuiting debut and 5th anniversary of going to the furcons o.o
And during last five years, Jake fursuit has been going through lots of changes and those changes are all made of my wonderful man  hornetv2, I´m so happy to see the great progress for this lion and I´m so looking forward for future of this lion´s fursuit ^^
Need to make an anniversary submission of the fursuit and furcon anniversaries soon too ^^

And for the finish, I´ll remind you for the Ursa Majors Awards, which has a nomination period currently until end of February. So if you want to go vote or see the recommends for different categories, go check out at http://www.ursamajorawards.org/nominations.htm

I´m looking forward to hear for how you guys are doing and also if you got some ideas which helps me to improve my art style, those would be really helpful ^^
See you guys soon ^^
