Hey its a Sly jounal, cool beans
5 years ago
I don't post journals nearly enough but I figured it was time for a little post about how things have been going for me in the past year and a half or so since my last journal.
Transition has been going well, I'm finally not really at a point where I have to worry about being misgendered anymore. Still a lot of things I'm excited about in the future, if I can manage all the things reality has thrown at all of us these last 6 months or so. Transition itself has been such a tremendous change (as well as turmoil on some days) that my focus for art really took a hit from where I stood mid 2018 when I was at my most active. For all the happiness that I feel when I see myself now, there are still many growing pains both physical and emotional that no one can prepare you for. I try to take it day by day and I could never do it without my constant companion and the love of my life
boxerbunny I guess, all in all, things are good despite my worries about the state of equality, disease, and impending climate catastrophe. I'm aiming at going back to school to do something about that last issue. Looking to get a shiny new masters degree in sustainability and/or climate issues. I haven't really made mention of it here before but I have a background in biology and have worked as an agrotech doing entomological research in the past and I'm currently in neuroscience as a lab tech. I'd like to put my mind to use fixing some of the bs threatening our lives if I can be of use.
In the meantime though, there's art, and more free time than I've had in maybe my whole life. I feel like that's pretty normal for most people lately.
With that time has come a lot of time for finding my inspiration and motivation for art again. I burned myself out going so hard 2016-2018 with my art that I had very little patience, confidence, or motivation left to really function as a professional or sometimes even as a hobbiest. Things feel different now though, I sense a real outlet for my frustrations in pursuing art again and you'll be seeing a lot more content from this page as well as the more personal side of me for those who use twitter.

Expect to see a journal opening commissions soon and a raffle on my sfw twitter. ;3
Peace,
Sly
