Why I've Been Away For So Long
8 years ago
What did the toilet say to the bathtub?
Okay, so it's been a couple of months since my last upload. The fact is, my life has been something of a psychological mess and moral uncertainty since I left my awful douchebag library job. I know, you see this so often in furry journal entries that it's become a cliche. Still, I'd like to inform you that I still intend to be a part of the furry fandom by uploading art here, doing commissions, and occasionally commenting on others' work.
So, in the months I've been away, I've started working on "An Arizona Fairy Tale." I'd like to tell you that I plan to upload the stories, but here's the thing: I hate drafting. It's not that I don't intend to have drafts of my story, but the road to actually getting the words that end up in my completed stories, even if they are only first drafts, is long. I won't say it's hard; I love outlining. "Tricky" is a better word.
The same goes for art. I'm considering posting some of my more minimalist art, just to prove that I'm still here. I'm still trying to figure out what the literary equivalent would be. A bit of disclosure: Anything I create with the intention of uploading here tends to get choked. It may come from pressure I put on myself to get it done in a hurry combined with creating something that I hope will be visually interesting.
Good news, though. I got a part-time job as a warehouse worker. So overall, the kind of art you see won't have the kind of profit-seeking pressure behind it. I can create things for fun, and not to get commercial attention.
Commissions are still open for anybody who's interested.
