Lady 3: " Just tell us what to do!"
Baron: "Kindly, be so good, as to remove your knickers."

Heh. Hioh all, or at least those who might still be around here.
Was browsing and looking about at some stuff and figured I'd actually blow some dust off of the gallery and say...
well...
I'm sorry.
Things kinda broke down for me mentally and physically for a long while due to a number of factors which started a nasty feedback loop for me. Not going to go into it, but I did want to say I'd like to start up actually doing various bits of art again. I'm hoping to brush off some dust and use what I recall and break out of the paralyzing rust/imposter feedback loop I've been in.
That isn't to say I haven't been creating anything. I've been actively working on some simplified vector designs for one avenue that I've taken to start bringing in money. I've actually started working on and selling some 3d printed table top game dice boxes. Still in the process of getting it all set up to sell online as I don't have pictures of all the box designs I have done and I'd like to get an Etsy storefront up as well, however they are available now. If ye be interested in one, you can check them out by clicking here or you can contact me directly either on here or on twitter or instagram if you are interested in something more custom. I have some masters on their way sometime this month so I may have some dice and a few other ideas up for sale soon as well.
Speaking of, I've been on twitter for a LONG while now and been quasi more active on there. Granted, I still have the habit of keeping my mouth shut in on both unless I feel I do have something I can actually add to them, but it is probably worth mentioning them regardless. I do plan to be more active on here for various reasons, but, well, we'll see how long that'll stick.
Also, for those interested in a summarized "where the hell have you been?", I quit Amazon a few years back after getting fed up with an absolute niagra falls worth of bullshit they crammed my way. Did some odd-jobs for a bit then worked with a former co-worker from amazon that I was friends with for a while, but that dried up about a month ago and I currently do not have a *steady* paycheck. I do however have an unstable bit of cashflow coming in from helping a few friends who do conventions selling a LOT of stuff as a vendor for a living and the occasional sale of the aforementioned dice boxes. It's actually thanks to those freind's encouragement that I've finally started doodling again, with a potential idea of offering prints, pins, dice, and the dice-boxes at an artist alley at some point in the future.
With that said however, I am rather done with long-term plans with heavy regimentation like any of the things attempts I've done in years past. Found that having some regimentation was nice and kept me on track, like posting the occasional journal or two to let fly with updates to void, but having constant long term stuff with weekly journals just burned everything I had going and got me into a cycle of not wanting to touch anything and some mega imposter vibes whenever anything started having issues and updates slowed. Looking back at how the hamster in my head treated everything and seeing all I had started then stopped, well, gave a good deal of perspective recently....
Either way...
For those wanting the long story short, I'm doing better, lost my job, gonna start posting again soon, and started selling some stuff I make. How's things with you?
