Hi there. How are you? I miss you.

tipsSorry I haven’t been active on here (or anywhere) as of late. Typical art block has hit me hard and I just haven’t been motivated to do much for so long. My messenger systems don’t like to alert me when I have Skype/Discord activity, and I’ve always been kinda dead on twitter.
If life news though, I recently tried to get a manager position at my job which I’ve been at for four years, and just found out today I didn’t get it. I’m pretty bummed :/ I’m really passionate about where I work, this is my third attempt at applying for a management position from three different stores, and all of them have fallen through despite praises of “You’re great! You’re definitely ready to move up in the company! ...We just decided to go with someone else.” 😞
As much as I don’t really want to, I might have to apply for a second job again because I can’t live off what I’m making now. Idk what to go into or what I’d be good at. Retail is my entire work experience for over ten years. And my little town doesn’t hire much because there’s so many younger people looking for positions, and now that Christmas/seasonal is over, it’s difficult to find anything hiring.
So in the mean time, I was thinking of trying to get back into art for commissions again. Maybe a “Doodles for Donations” thing? Headshots, sketches, fancier things? Possibly get back into streaming them while I work? What’s the best place to do that? I’ve used JoinMe in the past, but is that still good? Is that even still a service anymore?
I also have a two person size play/cum inflation sketch (which I did post a teaser photo to Twitter) which is collecting dust in my laptop. I was thinking maybe I could upload that as an auction piece?
Would anyone be interested in either of those things while I try to get back into the art groove?
How are you guys though? What’s been happening in your life? Done anything cool or fun recently? Attended any cons? Seen any good movies? Last movie I saw was Black Panther and that was a fun time :) before then idek lol. Let’s have a chat. I miss you. <3

Things have been boring here, the usual same so can't say anything of interest would interest you here.
I do like the idea of doodles to help ya get out of the artblock. And best of luck with the job situations as well. Good to see you around again.
