Please commission me from now on, on my commissions account JenKitty20Art
Commission Prices and Guidelines I Commission List
Commissions: Closed
Art Trades: Not yet
Requests: No On weekends I'm such a night owl! so here I am posting an update on things. Just got my raise finally after my probation period at my new job! it's a decent raise. I'm back to making the hourly amount I made at my previous job from 2 years ago which isn't bad. I feel like I'm getting less taxes taken out. Anyway I'm so excited using the Wacom Cintiq 22hd at work I love it so much I wish I could afford my own for home! sigh someday! I don't even want to leave work because I want to be on the tablet all day! We just all need to win the lottery that would help things so much! lol Other than that there really isn't anything else that has been exciting to share except for I love my kitty furbabies so much. They are so cute but a handful sometimes. I'm very content with them until the Husband and I ever decide to have children if not maybe we will just adopt? it all depends on how life takes us.
I hope everyone has been good and I really want to try my best and try to get more art out there and stream again! I have been inactive for so long that it's killing me because I wish I could get some side commissions again to make the extra money I'm not making from my good job I got laid off from. Still mad about that but nothing I can do I at least still get to do chalkboard hand lettering stuff on the side here and there for others so it's not too bad I am enjoying life again that's for sure. I hated being so depressed for the two months I was unemployed. Again I hope everyone has been good! maybe tomorrow I'll try to draw something and post up here! :)

Wishing you the best. <3

Yeah I got laid off from my good job back in September last year. I was unemployed for 2 and a half months. I was so getting depressed and started hating my life. My Husband's family during the time made it worse too. I know they were trying to help but it annoyed me when they kept telling me not to apply to unemployment and of course literally saying my field doesn't make enough money yes I know that's true but it's the only thing I know how to do it's what I love to do and what I went to school for. I didn't go into marketing I remember taking a class about it but I couldn't do that. They have no idea that I did apply for unemployment because I knew with my field I wasn't going to find a job right away. Turned out I only had to use one week of it because I did at least get 4 weeks of severance pay from my job I got laid off. I know it probably wasn't the best decision but during the time I was still unemployed we adopted our two furbabies (kittens) Luna and Wheatley on October 21st 2016. I basically talked the Husband into getting them because I fell in love with them when I happened to see them at the pet store. Also I felt it would have helped my depression and they did. I love them so much! And they brought me good luck because the week after we got them I got a new job! They were my good luck charms. They made me feel tons better before I got my new job. They really are therapy! So now I have been enjoying my life again with my Husband and two furbabies. I don't get paid as much as old my job nor do I have paid sick days or paid vacations anymore but they make it up in other ways. I'm content. I of course hope to someday get a good job again but for right now I'm good. I hope to start doing commissions again soon in the near future because I really could use the extra money still. 😊

I'm fine now. I got over it. I need to start producing more art here and there to get noticed again because commissions have severely dropped from not being as active.
