What's up with this cat!
6 years ago
By this cat I mean me, of course! Heh!
My 7th year anniversary with big blue
just passed and it made me nostalgic for old furry forums and chat groups. Can't believe we can thank VCL's art trade forums for bringing us together! Dunno what I would've done without the fandom, honestly. It's given me lasting friendships, art growth, and somewhere to belong. I remain always grateful for that <3
There's been a lot going on with me lately, hard to really describe all of it.
Family issues are at a stressful high, with my brother being put in jail and for a situation that is hard to talk about. I don't even know who he truly is, (we're 12 years apart, with me as oldest) and what he was arrested for is really a crushing point. I live 2 states away so I was in no way knowledgeable, and feel ultimately detached. Yet everyone keeps filling me in and asking me for help and money. I don't even have funds to take care of my regular medical probs much less someone else's.
Anthrohio has been a bit rough to work with, I've been on staff this year and it's really unorganized and hard to get messages to everyone, and word/feed back when I need it. It's a job I took on eagerly, but I didn't think I'd be made the head of a department and for everyone to disrespect me so much. I can't wait to see folks at the con, but if I'm not worried about family or commissions it's this.
I can no longer keep up with patreon and may in fact cancel it. Thank you to all who've supported me!
(comics will still get done but at my own pace. and I will sell them on gumroad afterwards.)
I'll be back on top soon! Everyone's support has been rad as hell <3

sorry to hear about your brother and the situation.
and about your con staff work... I guess they have to look for someone else to take the blame next year?
Awh and thank you for the sympathy, it's very appreciated believe me.
I wish you success this year, and hopefully an improvement to the convention.
I hope things even out for you soon, at least the con's gonna be done soon ;; <3 it was nice seeing you, i wish we lived closer!
That's awesome! I know Ch'marr, the guy who started (and still runs!) VCL, I bet he'd be touched to hear this.
A lot of furry cons seem to be going in weird directions. Either they keep making bad choices and getting smaller, or they get so god damn huge that they're hardly fun anymore.
It feels like a competition with some of the smaller ones I've attended for sure, AO wants to look like another con that I'm not a huge fan of and the move towards it (I hope won't) be a mistake.
As strange as I am at times, I try my very best to support the artists I know in my life. I made a mistake, but I hope that I get a chance to make up for it.
I figure you have plenty of offers like this, but if you ever need an ear or a shoulder, I'd be happy to provide. You're a neat kitty. Helping, however little I can, is something that helps me too.
On the subject of Patreon, if you don't feel you can keep up, don't force yourself, but I do appreciate having a way to provide you recurring financial support regardless of whether or not you're producing arbitrary quantities of art! Otherwise I'll have to either try to remember monthly or send a larger lump sum or something.
Take care of yourself first so you're better able to take care of those that you truly care about.
It is very difficult dealing with family members who either don't deserve or want help.
