The people living in my house havent paid for 3 months and wont leave. So now I've had to pay the mortgage on a house these people are living in with no income from them, and am now have to pay over 800 dollars to have them evicted, and IF I get any money from them, my lawyer will also be taking 40% of all of that. So. That's fun. This fucking blows. I'm so upset. I cant really afford this shit but I need them out so I can rent it to people who will actually pay.

I'm so stressed that I wish I was dead so I didn't have to deal with any of it. I cant explain it, but I cant handle all this stress. Wish I had more money so I didn't have to stress about it.

Thanks for reading.

Been slowly munching through sketches for all my due commissions so I can start blasting them all with line work and color in a massive sitdown. I'd like to finish a good chunk of them at the same time.

My pain has been debilitating at times which has led me to try some edible thc/cbd, which the people said might help with the pain, as well as my depression, anxiety, and OCD. So far it does seem to provide a bit of relief. Not a lot, but enough to be noticable.

The people staying in my house didnt pay rent last month. Or this month. Theyve completely stopped responding to me. I have a telephone appointment with a lawyer on Thursday..

I have 2 conventions coming up soon and I'm like...nervous for them. I'm trying to chill but it's hard considering one is in canada and the other one is huge.

Because of my renters I have to pay my mortgage out of my paycheck which is already not a lot. Any time I do something fun or dont eat at home or go a place it's because my boyfriend funds it. I feel like such a worthless POS all the time. I'm lucky I have him to help me with everything.

I want to finish all current commissions so I can take new ones and not have to be such a damned burden to him.

Thanks for reading and caring.

I need some more money still, so I'm thinking about selling some of my characters I don't use a lot. Is that something that people would be interested in? I'm keeping all three ones I use though.

I've had a cough that just will not go away since a few days after we moved in. I think the mold/fungus in the house is causing it. They still havent fixed the bathroom leak so we have a hallway that's just always wet. Fungus is growing inside the house in that hallway. Under the sink in the bathroom is where its leaking, and theres mold all under there. They said theyll fix it. But like...they havent yet. I finally started at my new store. But I'm only scheduled part time so I'm still having a hard time financially. I've been saving/using change and using my credit card to make ends meet for now. Charles made it to Rota where he will be for the next two months for work. I'm really lonely. New town, shitty house, new job, no friends, lots of stress... I have a convention next week. Hopefully i can make some money there to help with everything. Wish me luck.

So its day 4 of trying to get someone out to give us internet. The only place that services this area is a place called Cox and I'm super underwhelmed with them. They were supposed to hook up internet yesterday but he said he had to run line through the attic and it was too hot so he would have to reschedule again. The sliding glass dogdoor insert we have sucks. The gaps between the door and insert are massive. All kinds of bugs are getting in. My boy Leon saw a stray dog outside and flipped out, jumping off the bed and hurting his leg. I have to take him into the vet today because his limp isn't getting better and this happened a couple days ago. And apparently the repairs that have to happen to my old house to make it rentable I got quotes for 4660$ so who knows when ill be able to have that done. Oh and the property management company I had found before leaving Huntsville sent me an email yesterday saying that they have decided not to represent me because their insurance company doesn't like that I have a pool or a fireplace at that house. The house I'm in doesn't have a pantry so I have to go buy a dinky plastic shelf in order to unpack my food. And the Walgreens down here that I transferred to says they can only afford to give me part time hours so I will be making hardly any money AND I will be losing my health insurance.

So yeah. Life just keeps shitting all over me.

If you can, please consider buying some pins from me. I need the money, and can't yet open for more commission work. Con crud and gamer fur pins are 17 each or 2 for 30 which includes shipping inside the USA. Strawberry tofu and tofu cube pins are 25 each which include shipping.

Well. We are IN the house. The hot water issue that derailed our move in date? No one lit the pilot light. Fucking useless. So we were cleared to move in. There are so many spiders here I cant even describe. Huge ones too. I cried many times already because I'm seriously afraid of them. So we paid 159 for terminex to spray. Low and behold, the house has a water leak in the smaller bathroom. A leak that has been there for a while because the hallway which has been hella damp for who knows how long IS GROWING MUSHROOMS ON THE CARPET INSIDE THE HOUSE. Oh and yeah, there is mold all up in the vanity and wall. We had to shut water off at the hot water heater to get the leak to stop, but every time we need to do laundry or shower we have to turn it back on and the leak continues. We have made people aware, one man came out to give the company a quote on what to do, but he didnt fix anything because "the company just asked for a quote for how, if you have a fan try to plug it in and have it blowing in here" and then left. We tried to get internet hooked up yesterday but apparently the owners cut all the cable lines leading to the house so they said they cant do anything without a written letter from the owner that it's ok to install. Well we got that today but now they dont have time to do it until tomorrow. And yall were suggesting a breach in contract and to get them to pay for the extra day on the trucks and hotel rooms, well APPARENTLY because they worded it "PREFFERED move in date 9/27" they wont cover anything. So. That's where I am with everything.

Still not okay.
Really.

If you want to donate, feel free - studioshippy[at]hotmail.com
I also have my pins available for sale, all the money from them will go towards all these expenses.

Thanks for reading yall.

So the rental company we are renting the house from says we aren't allowed to move in tomorrow like we planned because the hot water heater isn't working. So we have to pay hundreds of dollars more to keep the uhauls for longer, and even more on a hotel room that will allow 3 dogs. My dad flies back to Colorado on monday. He helped up pack up and load the truck and will be driving one of the trucks. Keep in mind, I'm out of work until I find a new Walgreens to work at in Tulsa. This is simply money we really can't afford to be losing but we don't have much of a choice at the point. Man. I'm just. Not ok right now. And only one of my friends decided to see me off and help me with my house and packing and stuff. So that sucks. I am so stressed and I feel like no one really gives a damn that I'm really struggling.

I can't afford to take any more commissions right now or ill get too behind to catch up. I have a few I need to finish and all of my...everything. Is in the trucks. You're welcome to donate if you want, ( PayPal- StudioShippy[at]hotmail.com )I would appreciate it, but I can't take any more commissions right now until I get unpacked and get to working on them again
..it wouldn't be fair to the great people who are currently waiting.

Anyways. Thanks for reading

Hey y'all. I have been gone off here for the most part for a bit. A lot has been going on. I went to MFM which went pretty good. I have been dealing with a lot of mental and physical health issues as of late as well. I have also been working with the company who will be manufacturing my toys to redesign some of the joints before I take preorders.

However, the biggest news I have is that my boyfriend got a job in Tulsa, Oklahoma 6 months ago with a temp agency. Well, this week he got hired on directly with the company and they want him to relocate. I currently live in Huntsville, AL. He just managed to find a place for us to rent in Tulsa today. We will be moving there on the 28th. I have been rushing to pack as quickly as possible, but since Charles is in Tulsa, I dont really have any help. My house needs several repairs before I can rent it out. I am doing my best to hold things together. My last day at my work here is the 24th. Hopefully I can transfer within the next couple weeks to a Walgreens in Tulsa. On October 6th he will leave for Rota, Spain for 2 months on a job assignment so I will be all alone. In a new state. With a New job. and a new house. No friends. No family. I am just really stressed out, you know?

At the end of October I will be traveling to Furpocolypse to be a dealer. I have never been to that convention before but I am hoping it goes well.

I apologise I have been a bit absent but there has been a lot going on. Once I get moved and get all my art stuff unpacked and everything I am hoping I will feel a bit better about everything.

I REALLY want to do Goretober again but I am not sure I could deliver before halloween with everything else going on.....so depressing...

anyways. Thats a good bit of what going on recently. Thank you for your patience. I havent forgotten about the commissions I need to do or anything. There is just been a lot I have been dealing with lately.

Thanks for reading.

Things went well. Sold well, and met a lot of cool new people. Got to see most of the people I knew too. My laminater decided to crap out on me though. It will be missed :< Charles got sick there though. I got in basically yesterday afternoon after picking my dogs up from my dads house. Now I have to work all week. I get next tuesday and Wednesday off. So yay. I have 1 take home commission from the convention to do this week too. Next convention is furpocalypse. I'm nervous for that one..

I'm 29. How did I get this old? Time flies.

It's a let's play. Im....an idiot lol.
Go watch! Subscribe to my channel! I'll do more videos and blogs in the future! Love you guys!!

I love watching YouTube videos. I really enjoy some youtubers. I might make some youtube videos of my own. I want to do some art speed stuff to show something being made. I also like playing some video games, going places, and trying things. I'm also hella opinionated. I know people generally do one type on content, but I wonder if it would be ok to do a bit of everything lol. What do you think?

Coming sooooooooooooon (exact date will be announced in the next week or two hopefully)

A tree of mine fell down. It's now partly in my pool.

That's not all.

Part of the ceiling in my living room also collapsed. My dogs weren't hurt, thank goodness. All the pieces fell on my couch which is where they usually are. But like...fuck. giant hole in the ceiling....

I just cant handle all this shit right now.

You can send me links and stuff. I just want to know who is you favorite artist(s) and why they are your favorite. I'm trying to grow my name and brand and become more well known for my work. I'm interested in knowing what makes people choose others as a favorite. I want to become a "favorite artist" for my quality and content, so I want to see what others are doing right. Please show and tell!

I have been really struggling lately with my sense of worth. My value. My depression. And my loss.

I have completely lost my excitement of most things. I used to love holidays. I'd decorate for all of them. Especially halloween. I didnt this year. I dont care. I want to. But I just dont have any desire to do it. My excitement is gone. Everything feels like a chore now. It used to make me very happy. Now I just...dont care.

I hate my job. I want to focus on my art. I am so unhappy at my job, but I have a mortgage and need health insurance. I need stable income. And a good amount of it to keep my home. But like...fuck I'm so damn miserable all the time. And speaking of time, I only measure it in how long until I have to be back at work now.

I'm miserable and I think a lot about suicide. How much I would rather just not have to live this life of mine. There is nothing that I can really come up with in my current life that makes it worth living. My dog cocoa, who passed away a few years ago, kept me going. He was the love of my life and i wanted to be around to love him. I have two more dogs, and i love them, but i dont even really consider them to be worth living for. My dad would care for them.

I'm trying to just keep on going. Doing what i can to keep my mind off stuff. Trying to keep up with my art. Working on new products I've wanted to do so I can have something to work on (FURSONA Toys)

I'm not really looking for advice or any butt pats or anything. Just wanted to explain why I've been a little absent and stuff. I cant really post stuff like this on Facebook since I have work people on there.
