New Merch! New Expenses (cats need help)! Commissions Open!
Posted 3 months agoIt me. I live.
I've got new merch here https://ko-fi.com/hellbreakfast/shop
Anything helps, even just a couple of extra dollars for the tip jar. Because we just took our kitties to the vet, and it's not pretty. Well, it's not the worst. We just have a very old cat (13+) that needs special care in his age, and a young cat (just under 2 years) that is going to need a dental procedure to prevent issues later in her life.
My main ko-fi page has an estimate of the price.
With that, said, I'm also opening commissions for Megaplex Badges! I'll have a table this year, and I'm just so happy to be going! If you'd like something for the con, reach out!
Another thing I'm tinkering with is a seeecret. But you'll see. Soon. :3

My FWA Queue is almost done, I've got more slots
Posted 3 months agoIf you took my card, wanting something for after convention, well, I'm open as a cloudless sky right now.

FWA Presale ended- but it might not be your last chance
Posted 5 months agoMy current presale has ended!
HOWEVER!!!
FWA has switched to a lotto system different from last year, assigning days via a carefully balanced RNG system. This system is very fair, I feel, but I did only get Sunday as a guaranteed day. It's the luck of the draw, and luck was not on my side.
Gremlins get destructive if bored, so in order to give myself something to do, I'm going to open a sale for TRADITIONAL BADGES ONLY that will be created and assembled during the con. I very emphatically will not be selling goods outside of the AA. Contact before the convention to claim your spot!

Ok, I'm at my desk, now what? (Health update)
Posted 6 months agoHi, all. I'm back up at my desk. I've not gotten to working on commissions yet, because, well. I'm not at my best.
For those that don't know, I recently spent several days in the hospital. The surgical intervention that I required was minor (kidney stone treatment) but did require that I be put under. Pleasant, it was not.
I am still somewhat recovering- I have an autoinflammatory disorder, which has been exacerbated by the obvious.
On the brighter side, it did show me how kind this community truly is. I haven't been able to get to individual thank-yous, but I am thankful. While I've been recovering, I've picked at some designs for thank you stickers, and have a poll here regarding some https://ko-fi.com/polls/Hopital-Sti.....ice-I2I71BYCHE
When I release the Hopital Sticker Pack, everyone that came to my rescue is entitled to a sheet, and they will be on sale for others. (I haven't gotten the bill yet, but uh. It's scary.)
I will be holding off returning to actual commission work until next week, because I don't want to prolong recovery by trying to perform proper labor while still ill. While the stickers are still work, picking at a design from my bed in 10 minute spurts is much less high-impact than sitting at my easel and trying to paint.
I thank everyone in advance for understanding. I believe I'm going to go rest again soon, I just felt remiss by not posting on the topic.

Back in the office!
Posted 8 months agoHihi! I'm back in the office after PDFC and recovering from that!
Feeling much better. Arizona was pretty good to me! I've enjoyed having the privilege to see the other side of the country. Like legit, it is a privilege to get to travel and see how the fandom is in different places.
I've been to so many places, and can still count the legitimately negative experiences on one hand, in comparison to mountains of positive ones.
The kindness of this fandom is part of why I get up, no matter what happens to me. Things might seem rough sometimes, but people like y'all give me hope.

Home after ACFI
Posted 10 months agoHi there! I'm back home after ACFI. I took some extra time to visit family in the area before heading home, this time. I was really happy to get to go to this one, and am really grateful to have met all the rad people I did at the con.
I'll take today to rest up, and then be back to working by tomorrow!
Clients, expect a message with a Trello link, soon.
Everyone else, keep being cool.

Anyone gone to AFCI? I'm looking for a roomie!
Posted a year agoHi out there! My next stop is Another Furry Con out in California, but I also got a dealer slot to Alamo City Furry Invasion unexpectedly!
It was such a sudden event that I only now grabbed a hotel reservation. If anyone I know is looking to split a room, hit me up!

I've gotten back to all folks that have pre-ordered art, according to my notes. If you are feeling neglected, or somehow have gotten lost in the shuffle, please reach out to me! Thanks again, everyone, looking forward to my next con!

Processing Dragoneer's Death
Posted a year agoI met Dragoneer exactly once, a gender and a decade ago.
He is- was, it's was now- a controversial figure. Doesn't matter. Shouldn't have died like this. No one should.
I've had my legs cut out from under me with my health of late. I'm still pissing blood. Had another x-ray a few days ago.
But I'm not scared because what I've learned is that I am not alone. My family and the community have carried me. My clients have been patient and kind. All I had to do is ask for help. It's such a hard lesson, it hurts worse than any physical pain, but I'm learning it.
I wish he'd asked for help before it was too late. I wish someone had put out a message on the news bulletin system on FA. I wish he had been carried like I have been, because I think the community would have carried him, as steep as the prices were. Furries are generous to a fucking fault.
I'm sad and angry at the system that made basic needs unaffordable and then told everyone it's shameful to ask for help getting them.
I'm sorry, both to his family and friends, and to the young people currently being radicalized by this. I'm sorry it's like this. I'm sorry you have to see this. This is a stark and painful lesson with more nuance than can be explored on and FA journal.
Burn the lesson into your memory: community is the only way to change this, and community is the only way to survive in the future.

A series of unfortunate events, but not by Lemony Snicket
Posted a year agoHi everyone, while I've been plugging away at my commissions, several things have occurred at poor times.
In short succession my wife took ill, family needed help moving from a bad situation and then on the way to help family, I realized that I, too, was becoming ill. I had to delay getting care until Sunday evening, as I was hours from home and this specific task was not one that could be rescheduled. Abandoning a family member, especially one that asks so little, was and is not an option.Thankfully, what I have is not transmissable, so I did what I could to minimize the impact and grit my teeth.
Unfortunately, it's corporate consensus in the area that bacteria take Sunday evenings and holidays off, so no one will need antibiotics during those times. While my wife was able to find a store open for a few hours on Monday, I'm still much sicker than I would have been had I been able to get prompter treatment, especially with my somewhat compromised immune system.
Thank you to my commissioners for being patient and understanding. I'll be back at it again, soon enough, and with more ardor than ever.

Thanks everyone for a great fwa
Posted a year agoHad a great time seeing everyone!
I'll be getting to my take home people after I get home and get better from the con crud!
I never thought I would miss the days of masking, but I got sick a lot less back then.
Ah, well.
It's still great to see everyone and make art for them!
