I'm not dead
6 years ago
I promise! Not that anyone is paying attention or has reason to.
I've been grappling with a cocktail of mental health issues and other things, like everybody else. Short version, all the joy in art and creativity has been killed off, not for lack of desire to create.
This doesn't mean I won't be creating anything, I just need to get that juice back. Not just to do art, but for the simple matter of quality of life, and that's what I'm concentrating on right now.
It feels like a losing battle, but I don't mean that in a dramatic way, I'm just fighting the system to try and get on necessary medications to get my brain back in order.
Until then, creative life is on hold. But I will be back.
Especially since, y'know. Tumblr is a deadzone, Facebook is about as civil as 4Chan, and I will NEVER post anything to DA for a host of reasons.
I might begin a project to archive things at VCL, supposing that's still around (Instant Internet Age Check right there)
With Zebra Girl having finished, and Jack coming to a conclusion, the loss of Doug Winger a few years ago and Jim Hardiman (also several years ago), two artists I really liked the work of, I'm feeling a need for some fan art, so that might be in the works.
I was given permission by Sarah Wheeler AKA Noelani Manawolf (And one other artist moniker older fur fans might recognize) to post her entire archive of work for her and even sell some of her originals, but that stalled some while ago because we both have real lives that keep getting in the way and live in disparate locations, but I have plans on that too. She's always been an amazing friend and person I admire, and it seems the least I could do to repay her for all the kindness she has given to me.
Until then, stay safe out there. This world is cruel but we survive through being kind.
