Ramblepost : Back from JFTW
7 years ago
General
Hey all,
If you missed it, the 'What happened and why I vanished' journal is here :)
I'm back from Just Fur The Weekend. It was crazy, and brilliant. Wierdest of all, the Con Hotel turned out to be just 15 minutes away from my home ! It was a small Con (200-300 people) but a blast, with loads of great folks. I even managed to catch a couple of evening workshops, and the 'Den mom' (
stefi_heartlilly) took great care of us. Probably the most well-run Con I've ever been to, with attention to detail all round from a seriously dedicated team. Take a look at it if you're UK based :)
Gushing done, onto plans for the future !
My 'Optimum Goal' on returning to Artz was to open up on FA about a week before the Con. But I had a couple of small crisises in home life which demanded time, so I only made my 'secondary goal' of being ready to take commissions again by JFTW.
This was still a big deal for me, as a personal and returning-to-work professional goal, to get my fuzzy face out there again as an artist :) But it does mean that I didn't get the chance to open up for commissions from you wonderful people who have been so supportive on my return to FA.
HOWEVER
I managed it :) I did eet ! I am well, I am back, and I even cracked out (with some computer problems, eek!) 3 Conbadges at the Con. So, I'm ready.
Today I'm having a Big Sorting Day. No arts, just admin. And I'm going to pin down dates and deadlines so I can announce them. This will include giving a couple of weeks' warning for when my Patreon will be opening, and dates for taking commissions on FA.
I am pretty sure I've caught the Conflu XD But it doesn't feel like it's going to be too bad. So, I should be posting lots of info etc tomorrah.
EDIT : Who thought 3 months of frantic work would have resulted in so much CHAOS ?! XD Turned out today needs to be an organisation day too, so announcements will be Weds :)
I love you all and can't thank you enough for the outpouring of love and support that has made coming back so bloody awesome :) I'll try to make this the last ramblepost for a while, as I'll have actual things to announce from here on. But since that means I'll have to be more succinct on those, let me say again...
You are all friggin awesome.
I'm so glad to be back.
Much love, and good health, to all of you.

Hope to see you soon :)
Guess who just got a CFZ table confirmed ?

Hopefully it's just a minor case. If not, on the bright side, being undead you can work round the clock.
Or maybe it was just fear of zombiefication. Sure, they can work around the clock, but depending on the zombie I'm pretty sure they can only (a) work slowly, or (b) create vent art XD
Glad you recovered quickly.
