Guess who's lurkin'?

I guess I should explain. The last few years have been wild. I moved to Illinois to live with my girlfriend, which is amazing in itself. As a native Floridian I have now endured two winters in the midwest. The oddest thing that has come out of this is how much everyone assumes that the winters here will freeze me into moving back to sunny ol' Floridurr. Also the corn. There is so much corn.

About this time a year ago, my dad passed away. We didn't exactly get along so it's been an emotional roller coaster. I hadn't talked to him in three years after a huge argument, and suddenly he was gone. This experience has easily been the hardest thing I've ever had to deal with, and I wish it on nobody. My dad left no Will, which meant I had to get a lawyer and claim control of the estate. It was a nightmare, I tell you. People really show their truest colors when these things happen. There's not much I can say publicly, but people are vultures. It's at times like these that you really know who wants to be your friend and who only wants what you have.

So, that's been hard. I'm trying not to let it make me bitter and quiet, but I'm kind of that lately. I don't often have the emotional energy to deal with people, no matter how much I like them.

I probably won't have any art for a while. I'd like to draw again, but I barely have in years. But in the meantime, you can follow my tumblr for useless reblogs and etc:

I'm also interested in refunding the few people I owe commissions to. I'd like to make it up to you guys. I offered before, but nobody spoke up. Maybe someone will see this?

Anyways, I'll be around but not doing much myself. Take care, you guys!
