Hi Friends!

Sorry I haven't been very active here. It's been a tumultuous season for me so far, a side job just ended and I was hoping to get right back into the swing of things but it took me until today to finally realize something was up.

The current political climate is scary for us folks who have been abused, especially women and female identifying folks. Just in the past two weeks I've been told it's "my fault for not reporting" (his exact words) my abuse and had a boss of mine make a disparaging joke at the expense of the #metoo movement on stage, in front of countless victims he employs.

I am forcibly reliving some past trauma over these past few weeks, and as a result having to confront some suppressed memories and emotions I'd rather not confront, while also having to face the fact that if I were to be open about them I would be flamed and harassed at best and at worst, I would sacrifice my personal safety.

If I haven't responded to your notes or messages, please just be patient with me while I try to relax and adjust. Things are scary, and I'm trying to surround myself with small comforts to ride it out. I'm posting small Inktober doodles over on my twitter @ Inkmavenart to keep myself sharp, and commission work will resume soon.

Thanks for your support guys, you're awesome 💙
