HI! And no, I'm not dead!

Hey everyone,
It has been a long time, and to be fair, a lot of things changed in my life on the last 2 years. And as I just noticed that last March was my 10th FA anniversary, I thought I owed you some explanations.
First of all, yes, I'm okay, more than okay. I spent the last year and a half touring around Europe with my bands, and even drummed in the RIO CARNIVAL In Brazil, which was completely insane! I keep playing around, and have no time off for weekends, and not very often at home. In a way, I'm happy I still don't have a pet/plant/boyfriend, so I can be free as a cloud living the life of a Rockstar ^^
Another reason why I'm not drawing anymore is that, next to that crazy music life, I also finally secured my dream job in the Game Industry as a Software Engineer. Yup, I got my daily office Clark Kent life in a very cool company, and a crazy stage life at night, where I still lead two of my bands, and play with several others. My health is okay, and I'm still a reasonned human being (but still a fluffy tiger in heart)
I haven't touched my graphic tablet for probably more than a year now, because I made my music life a priority for the last couple of years. I simply don't have enough time for both, so I decided to switch once in a while. When things will get quieter, I might take back my pencil to draw a little bit more, but to give you an idea, I live in Brighton, England, and I was playing two weeks ago in Bristol, then the week before, in Coburg, Germany, that I'm playing this weekend in Devon, then in London the week after, then in Kent the week after, and finally in France, which brings me to mid September, and God knows what other gigs are going to align by then ^^' I'm traveling a lot doing what I love, and I'm very happy.
Anyhow, I haven't forgotten you all, but I suppose my priorities have changed now. They will probably change back at some point, and who knows, I might re open commissions once a year? But I probably won't invest myself in the community as much as I had before. I know this situation has been going on for a while, so it won't change much but now, but I thought I would clarify things with you all. I owe you that.
And yes, I still intent to, one day, publish the canon story of Leo and Schin, but well.. Maybe under another format. A Comic strip, or let's be crazy, a Video Game for example? Just keep in tune, and I might post it here at some point. And if you want, you can still contact me through here (although I don't check very often), or on Twitter.
Thanks again for being part of my life for 10 long years, and I hope you're all doing great
Take care,
