Summer's Here, Time for an Update!

General
Hey there beach bros and babes! With the smoke cleared and peace settling over Coyote Valley, I thought now might be a good time to let everyone know how things are going. First and foremost, I've made big progress over the last few weeks on some new techniques which have cut my work time down significantly. Combined with Lobo's family being gone on a summer cruise for the next month, this means that I should have my queue finished up in good time. My medical status has been...a little dicey, lately, so that may cause unexpected delays, but I will work to communicate with you all when that's the case.
Meanwhile, Lobo is still job hunting and seeking a good fit so we can both move back into our own place again. For those wondering, he and I have postponed our ceremony until one or both of us is gainfully employed. Once that happens, expect to see a few invites going out!
As for my lingering presence within the fandom--recent events have made it clear how petty and downright awful some people can be. But it also showed me how loyal, honest, and self-sacrificing others can be, and although I am not reversing my position on stopping commissions, I do want to continue sharing personal and old commissioned art with all of you. Not because I care about popularity (I mean please, a burping cat on YouTube could easily get more hits than my page does!) but because sharing things I enjoy creating and knowing it puts a smile on your faces (and a tent in your trousers!) is why I started drawing in the first place. It feels good to reconnect with that side of things and ease off the business mindset.
My presence will still be greatly reduced here, of course, as I remain committed to getting some healthy distance from the negative influences in the fandom. But I don't want to cut ties completely with my awesome fans (there's a lot of you I couldn't imagine going a month without talking to) so I will probably host the occassional stream for fun now and then, with the understanding that there is to be NO DRAMA, only GOOD VIBES and comraderie.
For any questions on commission status, please note me. For all other inquiries, I can be reached at Twitter or you can just drop me a comment down below. Cheers!

I wish you well in both your health and other matters that seem a little low presently.
It means a lot that you think so highly of me and all the others who support and encourage you even through all the drama, and I think you deserve a big hug! (Ahah, well, if you'd accept it...)
I wish you luck, good sir! Along with that, I pray for the both of you!
