First off I just got back from NYCC. I promoted my new plush, which I plan to launch the Kickstarter for this summer!

I got my cintiq replaced so I can do digital art again.

Did a COUPLE inktober drawings but I got so behind I'm just going to do my best to do some as I can. I am doing a different types of unicorns theme.

I am catching up on my biggest most pressing commissions and then to a few that have now been hanging over my head for YEARS I am going to be refunding the remainder of what is not finished so I can move on. My life is just too crazy and is showing no signs of slowing down, so unless it's a livestream commission or a single wire sculpture commission once I clear my current que, I won't be taking large scale commissions for a while.

Now for the HUGE news. First off my fiancé and I have finally set a wedding date and we plan to be married in December 2018. Weddings take lots of planning and coordinating especially admist life and shows. (Although I already planned to do less shows next year)

Now for the BIGGEST news:

I have just been excepted for one out of only twenty slots for a once in a lifetime opportunity to study under my lifetime idol Don Bluth creator of "All dogs go to heaven", Land Before Time, Secret of Nimn, Anastasia and more. It is a year long class studying script writing, stoeyboarding, layout, animation and at the end I'd actually get to go spend a week with him and Gary Goldman in Arizona for the final.

I had forgotten I had even applied and just figured I wouldn't get in. He handpicked me because he likes my art!!

Only problem is it's 10 grand and with my wedding and life and still trying to climb out of debt I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it or not yet. I'm praying my dad will see what a huge opportunity this is and help, but I don't want to not have a wedding after waiting over eight years or so with my fiancé and finally planning it. ANYWAYS, I'll keep you all updated! Miss all my supporters and am hoping to be a bit more active soon!
