I know lately I've been producing art in waves with pauses in between, and I apologize for not being consistent with my work like I should be. To be frank, my family and I have been through some really tough patches since the beginning of 2017. Some really, really hard times. We've seen breaks here and there, but it's been a struggle. Thankfully we are better than we were before, but there's so much still improve.

Because of that, my art consistency has been splotchy at best, and I sincerely, really do apologize for the wait times from the bottom of my heart. Many have been patient and gracious with me, while there have been few here and there that have been very upset with me. However, I am doing the best I can.

I have a lot of personal issues I don't air out dealing with my mental state, and it sometimes makes producing art very difficult. Depression and anxiety have become something more than just a little nagging bug in the back of my head, and it's becoming harder and harder to ignore day by day. I could share a lot of my life and its crazy stories, but in short, I've seen a -lot- in my life. Some good, and some bad.

But in my admission, I'm stubborn. These feelings I tend to brush off, sometimes joke about, and pretend aren't a problem. I lie to myself a lot, but what's worse is I lie to those I care about and friends alike.

In many cases, art and my passions are my "medication" that helps release some of these bad vibes and terrible thoughts; this is one major reason why I produce my artwork. Most of the time it's a release of some sort, especially drawing my childhood characters I've had since I was a little kid. Or sometimes I go to my car shop I own, and work on things there. That helps a lot too. I guess my point is that I'm trying to work out my issues, and my problems. To acknowledge them, and try to tackle them head on without affecting others. To be honest, I feel very alone, and most of the time, I deal with these things alone.

Last month I almost lost my emotional support companion, my lovely Sadie puppy~ When everything happened, it created a domino effect that almost made us lose our home and all of our things while I was in between jobs (I finally started my new job). We worked hard to get everything caught back up, and with the help of many, we got at least the important things caught up with.

This all boils down to the inconsistency of my work, and I do apologize. This is one reason I've been trying to focus on my own content and Patreon...so I can have more time to focus on what really helps release these pressures and feelings. I know I can be slow, and I apologize.

It's been a struggle, but I'm doing the best I can. Please be patient with me, as it's the extremely helpful in these difficult times. Love you all, and I hope you guys understand~
