life update/ coming out

General
I just realised I haven't updated much here about what has been going on recently.
To start on a more personal side:
I recently came out as trans. It is something I have always known, but have hidden for a number of reasons. And well... it has been an absolute shit show since. My job is very restrictive on my rights as a trans individual. I will not go into it, but if you know anything about the US military's ban on trans service members...well I am wrapped up in that. My family took it about...well how I expected based on the individual. It has in many ways ruined a lot of relationships for me, and I feel it has ruined some potential good things I was looking forward to in the future. But, I will not bog this journal down with all the depressing details.
Like many of us, the last few months have been rather rough on me. So art is slow, and twitter is the best bet to see WIPs.
But finished work is going to be real slow...and in some ways, it will be long stretches between uploads until things settle.
I am currently on Active duty orders and am living out of a hotel (and have been since March). By September 1st I hope to be on my way back to some type of normalcy and in my new flat. The hotel life has really brought me down and does make sitting down to draw difficult.
Though, good news, once I get my new place I plan on investing in some equipment to record music and even get a better drawing set up and hopefully uploads will start popping up again. Though, I may make a separate page for my music, haven't decided yet.
I do poke around here at least a few times a week, but as mentioned above; if you want to see the activity, twitter is where I am most active.
anyway, I hope to upload some art here soon.
Cheers,
Rev. Rico
