Hello again everyone! I live! I have a few things on the docket for today;

1) SELLING TRADITIONAL ART:
Due to current circumstances, I am going to start selling my traditional art including sketchbook drawings! Does that sound like something y'all would be interested in? I will probably sell some of them starting at pretty low prices ($5-$25 depending on size & quality) and maybe auction bigger/more detailed drawings starting around those prices.

They would be existing pieces I have already made, as opposed to new ones/commissions. So, if you like any of my traditional sketches in particular you might be able to own them! ^^ I will include shipping in the price, but since it's paper I do not expect mailing them to be expensive at all. I'll post more about it soon. Please let me know if you'd potentially be interested!

2) COMMISSIONS UPDATE: I am still working on my last few commissions from my last batch. I am so sorry to my clients who have been waiting, I have been pretty busy with my new job but now that I am no longer working (the company I work for takes a break for the holidays and new year) I will be able to dedicate more of my time to finishing your commissions!

I am NOT taking new commissions at this time, but if I am still out of work by the time I finish my current commissions & haven't had much luck with selling my traditional art, I might take up comms again.

3) LIFE UPDATE:
I'm gonna try not to go into too much detail here cuz it's all a complicated mess, but essentially, I am losing my housing. I stood up to an abusive roommate, and in retaliation, they decided to break the lease and move out without warning or discussion, and now I have to find a new place to live by Jan. 31st. This is especially difficult right now because of the surgery 2 weeks ago that I am still recovering from, and because of the compounding effects of poverty. I'm going to start looking for new jobs ASAP! But in the meantime, I am not physically capable of packing for myself and will need to find or hire help, which is part of why I'm selling my traditional art.

Things have been pretty scary and intense for me lately, and I find myself struggling to get up from blow after blow of bad news. On the other hand, I finally feel like I am regaining some of the freedom I lost while under the control of aforementioned roommate and am slowly getting back to my old self. While I might not be wealthy in money, I am extremely wealthy in love and have many family and friends who are helping me through these hard times. Here's to hoping things look up soon!

4) Let me know if you have any questions! How have you been? Do you have any plans for this winter? Has it snowed where you live yet (if it snows at all there)? I probably won't have the energy to respond to non-questions, but I like getting updates on y'alls lives too.

Please take a second to fill out this very quick/easy form to help teachers keep their social security retirement savings!

If it doesn’t, pass my own mother & teachers all over the country won't be able to retire. We've ALL had teachers change our lives for the better!

A message from my mom:
“Basically, I have been paying into Social Security from the age of 15 to 45 …when I became a teacher at the age of 45
If this doesn’t pass, I will not get any of my Social Security earnings for those 30 years. Only a small pension from my school …. I’ll be working till I’m 100!
Thank you ... and if you know anyone who’s 18 or older who might sympathize and help pass this bill, I would be grateful”

Thank you for taking a moment to support the crucial educators in our country. Knowledge is power, & supporting educators supports generations to come.

My social media landscape is definitely changing, so I wanna make sure y'all know where you can find me and my art!

Here's my linktree: https://linktr.ee/voraciousollie
At the moment, you can still find me on: BlueSky, Itaku, FurAffinity, DeviantArt, YouTube, & Patreon (my subscription tiers are closed, but I'll still post whatever I post for free on my other accounts).

I'm not officially dropping any of my sites yet, but my twitter accounts are gonna go soon, what with their new AI scraping policy.
Thanks for sticking with me despite the decline happening across several sites!
