simple/short update
- on the bounceback from this last cold, my hands have been left absolutely shaky, enough to where the convo would go ...
"gimmie comm"
"my hands are shaky"
"dun care, gimmie comm"
"here's your comm with shaky lines"
"it's not what i paid for"
"fuck you"

so ... in that light - you'll be seeing a lot of reskinned unsold dopts hitting the auction market in the next bit. This is an attempt to re-teach my hands how to make smooth lines. Bear with me on that.

So, here's to cut off everyone asking about comm progress updates
- tl;dr = medical bullshit causes delays

- west nile virus REALLY sucks. i was a lot closer to hospitalization than i let on earlier
- to keep the brain swelling from reaching corpse state, I had to take a shit-ton of prescription steroids (3x what's considered a "high dosage")
- so even after the virus is "over" there's lingering fatigue for 2-6 months, AND i get to deal with trying to ease my body off the steroids. good times.
- naturally this means weakened immune system. so now i have the next thing (common cold punching above its weight class)

...
so this means that i have shaky lines until i recover. damndity damn damn.


because i'm a bit salty over this - anyone who asks for updates during this time is going to get their comm delivered with sub-par shaky lines. good job.

As it said - pretty sure wife and I got West Nile Virus.

Just for context - we're pretty sure we have west nile given that the main symptom that's different from this and regular flu (only in less than 20% of people) is fatigue and the dumb. The dumb is caused by mild brain swelling which leads to brain fog and such
...
in my case it aggravates my other mental disorders, so I'm random/swapping more frequently, getting exhausted and dull witted, and running into more issues of temp amnesia. 8\

so yeah ... uhh ... kinda in a bad spot given I had budgeted prior spending on being able to work a bit on the overtime side of things right now. d'oh.

expect delays...

Couple quick notes to answer questions received ...
- There's no account or login needed, it's all just simple forms
- For the Auctions and Promos: payment is handled outside the website (i.e. I'll reach to you IF you win and sort it out then)
- The giveaways are really just a payment alternative.

Spent the past few days with multiple bouts of amnesia.
Fortunately was with my gf at the time, so I was safe. But during that state I wasn't able to really do much of any concentrate work ... so I defaulted to a ton of chibis.

a) I had a couple weeks without much work/pay (between the company in town, couple illnesses, the holidays, and the concussion). So the current gameplan is that I'll be kicking out a few more auctions until I can at least get 1 week's worth of bills paid off ... THEN I'll get back into the whole "i'm kicking out a comm or two alongside my dopts every day" rhythm"

b) so yeah, undoubtely this will mean that someone's gonna see some activity and say HEY, WHERE'S MY COMM. See point A

c) and finally: I am generally lax about paying off dopts. I am going to make a couple hard stops, however ...
- FIRST ... if you click that auto-buy button: DON'T AUTOBUY UNLESS YOU HAVE THE FUNDING ON HAND. Me having to wait an entire month on payment REEEEEEEEEEEEALLY exasperate point A.
- SECOND ... until I get caught back up on my bills, I'm going to kindly ask that y'all excercise restraint when bidding. Use the following golden rule: I need cash, not IOUs.

That's it. hope you have a good one.

news update

* I'm playing tourguide again for the next 11 days or so.
* naturally, this means I won't be doing any major work on auctions/comms/similars during this time frame ... because I won't have time

so ... what does that mean for the short run ...
* I'm going to post 1 giveaway that'll finish at the end of the 11 days.
* You'll see a few smaller/quicker auctions pop up here and there: these are intended to relieve pressure when I'm home from the trip

let me know if you have any questions

thanks again!

https://artofjonfreeman.com/Dopts.html

quite a few items up for grabs over here

out of town again helping family

limited productivity

your friends told you that tiktok was harmless
those friends lack the baseline intelligence requisite for human cognizance

continued association with those friends will only infect you with their level of stupidity

Place an order of +$100, get $10 off.

Rules/clarifications

A) Go here --> https://artofjonfreeman.com/Dopts.html
B) Decide what you want to buy
C) Hit the "call dibs" button on the items you want in order to get my attention
D) I'll get in touch with you and we'll verify what you want to buy
E) Once we hammer that out, I'll give you the bill and methods of payment
F) The single catch: An upfront payment MUST be made in order to cash in on this. (minimum of $40) The usual leniency until your next paycheck will be granted, but you have to pay down a chunk of the bill upfront in order to get this.
G) This sale will probably only last a day or two, week at the most. So all "woulda shoulda" comments ... well ... I told ya so.

Your daily reminder that humanity WANTS to be owned by higher powers.


Envy the dead.

I'm pretty sure that "leave the party early and let someone else pick up the check" is the power play nowadays.

The only thing humanity will achieve is finding new ways to roll around in its own shit and demand to be accepted. Frankly I don't care to stick around and witness it.

So, if you know me - you know I kinda have a distasteful relationship with my birthday. I resent the fact that I'm alive for it every year.

Still, every June 4th people tell me they wish they knew and/or wish they could get me something.
So...
yeah, june 4th. if you're interested in buying crap here's a couple links.

that's that. Sorry for the downer, but there is no good news left in the world. All we have left are jackasses who are trying to prove to each other that they can hive mind harder than the rest.

just put one up here https://artofjonfreeman.com/Dopts.html

updated to now include the promos

Go here to claim dopts!

I've actually been asked about this - "is there a way to show support without committing to a monthly subscription fee, or bothering with a purchase?"


The answer is yes.



First (and most straight forward), you can use the following as a tip jar: http://paypal.me/jonfreeman
Even if it's just a buck, super appreciated.


The second is that I have a couple of Amazon Wish Lists set up. You can buy something off there.

https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/.....?ref_=wl_share
Or
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/.....?ref_=wl_share


If you happen to do so, let me know. I'd like to thank you.

Minor change to promos
Just letting you know

All I'm doing is changing the quantity of offerings per promo.  So most of the time it'll be a more limited supply - and once they're gone they're gone.

It's effective immediately, which means some promos (especially the ones on clearance) are gonna end real quick.  You may want to look over the promos while you can if you were contemplating them (or look them over just for the helluvit).

Cheers!

NOTHING you can do can change who you are

Your clothing and everything is nothing more than a farce to hide the fact that you're dissatisfied with your own life and can't accept who you are. no amount of external change will change your internal soul

...

UNLESS IT'S LIFE ALTERING COSMETIC SURGERY THAT WILL FOREVER GIVE YOU MEDICAL PROBLEMS!

THEN SHIT, MAN! GO DO THAT! THAT WILL SOLVE ALL OF YOUR WOES!


and if anyone tells you otherwise, they're evil and should be cast out of society.

When I was growing up, I was always told that taking offense is an active decision.

"You're the only person who can make you take offense to something. Nobody can make you choose to take offense."

This was something reiterated by multiple people, ranging from teachers to counselors to comedians like George Carlin.

...
With that in mind ...

Nowadays we have an ultra minority of the total populace being extremely vocal about "this is so offensive! We must do something!"
...
which again, we are allowing a small group of individuals choosing to be offended and forcing all others to bow down to their whims based solely on emotional feelings.

...
So what the ever living fuck ever happened to "fight for our right to party" when we have to tiptoe around feelings lest we be cancelled by sad fat fucks incapable of societal contribution?

... humanity deserves its demise.

with me being on work-leave, I'll generally only have time for a single drawing per day

and given the typical response of "HEY, I SAW YOU POSTED 1 COMMISSION, DO MINE NOW?"

these single drawings will be limited to promo adverts

SO THAT BEING SAID

if you have suggestions of type of promo-comms you'd actually pay for - do let me know
