if the art stopped
8 years ago
would anyone care?
I've had a grand total of two very lovely people commission art from me in the 6 years I've been here.
And while I'm ecstatic to have even had that much, I do need more business.
It begs the question if there's not much interest, why bother? Lord knows it's a struggle to get any time for art when you become a mother. That was expected.
However I'm going to be taking night classes for Farm School for a month or so. That will take even more time away from art.
The other day I saw my Highschool Art teacher in the grocery store and had to endure the disappointment in her eyes that all I have managed IRL art is a tattoo design and a pet portrait.
so i guess this is the PSA that I'm closing my sketchbook.
happy fucking new year

I don't know... Just don't be discouraged about what others think. *big hugs* You keep going!
I'll take a break for a bit and get centered and try again.
May the New Year treat you well and better than Last Year.
I hope you enjoy making art for yourself, as well as seeking commissions. Your own satisfaction and enjoyment is the most important thing.
You definitely deserve more commissions. Your work on the Humpback Whale is stunning.
When I finally started drawing again it was as though the world was lifted from my shoulders, I felt kinda free again.
*heavy sigh* And dang it girl, there are people out here that would miss you so.....
I'm sorry for having a hissy fit.
Thank you, Yonaka.
