Update (Wake Day)
Posted 3 months agoPrevious Update
It seems everyone kinda forgot that I don’t have a vehicle, so I missed the wake/viewing today. I’m told by my other sisters that it was supposed to be closed casket but it wasn’t- and it was bad, from what I heard. I guess I should be thankful I was forgotten…
Apparently the man she had her kids with- they never got married- showed up with a gun and started throwing chairs and threatening people. He was high, according to what I heard. No one seems to have been hurt, thankfully.
Apologies for not keeping my FA community up to date, I’m doing that, now.

Update (Vehicle)
Posted 3 months agoPrevious Update - Next Update
As I mentioned previously, my engine seized up on the way to the crash scene. Luckily I was able to pull it home, but it is essentially unrepairable for the forseeable future. What I've decided to do is cheaper in the short term, as I can handle monthly payments for a car, but the one big hurdle I have to get over is the down payment. I need a good enough down payment to work with the loan I am hoping- praying to get to make this work.
What I'm looking for is a 2015-2016 Toyota Sienna, preferably under 200K miles. I've heard nothing but good about Toyota, and apparently the 15-16 and 21+ models are the most reliable. I have several I'm looking at, but I can't hop on any of them yet. What I can get entirely depends on what I can raise for the down payment. I have to be honest, I have never purchased from a dealer, nor have I ever gotten a loan, so this is new and challenging. I really, really hope that I can make this work, because funny enough, I finally get a job interview two days after my vehicle has broken.
If you're financially vulnerable, please, please don't donate- instead, of you want to help, please share, instead. It is incredibly difficult to ask for help- I can't shake the inexplicable feeling of guilt and shame. I don't know why I am this way, but I have been for as long as I can remember. So, for me to do this, really goes to show that I'm really, really in a corner that I can't see a way out of, alone, no matter how hard I try to look, It's not pride holding me back from this, at least I don't think so- more so feeling bad for being any kind of burden whatsoever. My brain is just stubborn about I guess, heh.
I'll miss you, F-150, you've been an amazing vehicle for the last 8 years and hold so many memories.

Update (TW: Suicide)
Posted 3 months agoNext Update
Heya everyone. I’d like to explain the last update now that I’ve had a short while to think and recollect myself. Saturday evening, my sister (mid 30s) had wrecked at around 7:00 PM. I don’t have much information about the details of the wreck, and I’m hoping to keep it that way. All I know is that it left her in very bad shape. I’m not sure if we will have an open casket funeral or not. I hope she passed quickly, or even instantly. She was a wonderful person, but she was also very troubled- she lost her youngest child around half a year ago. And it ate her alive. The wreck happened after she left the cemetery where her child was buried not too long ago. She was strong for surviving this long. Love you, sis.

In some sick turn of events, Saturday night, on the way to the crash scene, my vehicle broke down. The engine gas seized up and needs a complete rebuild or replacement. I don’t have $4-$6,000 (or more) cash to address this, I’ve been just barely making it through these last 6 months. So, as much as I don’t want to ask for help, I’m gonna try to raise funds for a down payment on a vehicle so I can continue every day life, and hopefully get a part time job to make up for when art falls short, or when I just can’t art with things like this happening. Thank you all for reading, I hope you have a good rest of your day or night.

I've Returned!
Posted 4 months agoSo, it turns out that, trying to go through the process of uploading 600 or 700 artworks to FA on a new account SUCKS. It will take far too much time, so with the display name changes, I can use my updated artist name (Naffy Does Art) here. It's not perfect, I'd like to have changed my URL to match everywhere else, but this is the time effective route. So, look forward to uploads returning here! I'm also slowly updating older works with fixes and the new watermark, so you might see some tidying up.
Cheers
