Hi everyone! So yes, I've been quiet lately, mostly due to an excess of Real Life going on. Job hunting, attempted career changes, personal stress, a current short-term job that's going well but involves a two hour deep urban commute... I haven't been left with any time or energy for making art, or really internetting much at all.
Happily things should be starting to stabilise a bit more next month - I've secured my next semi-long-term source of employment. It's far away so will involve some overnight stays away from home, and it's another fixed-term academic role, so it isn't everything I was really hoping to find at this point, but all the same I'm excited for it and I have a good feeling about the people I'll be working with. I'll also be able to work from home on the days I'm not on-site, which will give my schedule a bit more freedom.
What this means is that once June begins I should start actually showing up online again a little more, and hooooopefully start to get back in the current for drawing again. There are a few commissions and trade arrangements that have been hanging on my to-do list for a while now - I have not forgotten about you! Doreydrawings will return... SOON.

But yes I'm looking forward to having more of my evening time back!
I'm super glad you got another job finally. I'm sorry it isn't the long-term one you were going for.
Looking forward to the chance to chat some more. I'm gonna be busy with real life things for a couple months while I get slightly different job, and then I will also (hopefully) be more free.
I'd like to chat more with ya too! Sorry you've got busy times ahead as well. Telegram is always a pretty good option for me though so if you get the time to do so, do feel free to give me a poke there! I hope all your busy times go as smoothly as possible.
