.:: I'm finally back >.> ::.
Posted 11 months ago
This fucking year... istg....
I've been in and out of hospital (Misdiagnosed several times, and now I'm being told I have early stage fatty Liver Disease. It's still early, so just a lifestyle change and the Doc said I'll be ok. Though to be honest, after all the shit they put me through this year, I'm not overly convinced by any diagnoses they give me...) which is one of the reasons I haven't been very active.
And I was also evicted from my home, so was homeless for a while. But, I've moved into the storage room my mum had, so I at least have a roof over my head now.
I can only apologise. I know I owe a bit of art, and I will try to catch up now that everything has settled down. I'll try and sort my telegram out, and get back to as many people as I can tomorrow. Again, I am so sorry for my disappearances this year. A lot of it was really out of my control.
.:: Update - Have to come clear ::.
Posted a year ago
As a few people in my life know; I suffer from severe muscle pain in my hips. Which, after several years, the doctors still haven't been able to diagnose it properly. It's just being left as 'soft muscle tissue damage'. Apparently I'm too young for it to be anything severe, and there are no tests to see what could be causing it. I've had this pain since I was 20, and as I turned 34 recently , having these pains for 14 years is taking it's toll.
The pain was beginning to be so bad, I started to self medicate. Helped with the pain, but made everything else worse. So after months of this, I managed to quit the self medication, and the Doctor finally prescribed me with a muscle relaxant. Which.... left me in a zombie like state. I could barely function. Pain was gone, but so was everything else. I could barely work, couldn't even draw cause my muscles felt like they were gone. And sadly, with all the pain I've lived with over the years; I was getting too comfortable with feeling nothing.
I've now been put on something else. Much weaker than what I was on, so I'm hoping I'll actually be able to function normally now. Currently getting over the flu, so I wont know for certain how I'll respond to the new meds. I swear my immune system is on vacation or something, cause I'm catching everything right now. Which, as a child who barely got a cold, is very new to me.
I've gotten quite a bit nearly complete, but until I've completely recovered, work is on hold for a few more days. I just thought I should share why I haven't been productive this year.
I'm so sorry for the delays. My health has been increasingly worse (Hell, had a close call a few weeks back. Feeling completely out of control and nearly dying is fucking terrifying when you live alone and have no one to help you...) but with the new meds, I'm hoping I'll actually be able to be productive now.
.:: NEW TELEGRAM - update ::.
Posted a year ago
First off, again I can only apologise.
Between several deaths in the family, my own trips to the hospital, and stress/drama from my other job, I have not been overly active here. I can only hope now that the worse is behind me. I won't go into detail about it all, cause a lot of shit happened all at once....
ANYWAY
To more important things.
My new Telegram - https://t.me/TheBirdWorks
Due to the constant spam, I have re-made my telegram. Please re-add me the moment you can!!!
Also, refunds are on hold for the time being. Mainly because I cannot access my paypal. I'm not sure if it's been compromised, or locked (As paypal have still not gotten back to me) but for now, I cannot log in.
I do have a personal paypal account, so if push comes to shove, I can use that for refunds/commissions. But as it's not a business account, I'd rather not use it.
I really am sorry for all this. Please re-add me as soon as possible.
.:: Back to work update ::.
Posted a year ago
Ok I'm back hopefully.
Sorry again guys, I've been back and forth with Doctors with my failing health. Of course, they were no help what so ever. The paramedic I was seeing misdiagnosed me, so I've just been awfully sick the last month or so. Trying to get another appointment, but with a different Doctor. Look, the guy was super polite, I have nothing against him. But.... the fact he was acting so clueless in my last appointment did not instil confidence in me.
Can't even get an appointment with a physiotherapist (Apparently there's only one in the area? Like wtf how is that even possible?) so my hips are still fucked up. Just walking is painful now.
I'm still chasing down my tests results. They should have been done ages ago, but still no word. I know the NHS is struggling, but it kinda takes the piss sometimes. This is why I never bother with Doctors, but being in agonizing pain daily forced me to go.
My days off from my other job (When I've been well enough to even move) I'm still looking after my mother. She's still hanging in there, but I fear this may be the last year I have with her. Despite having numerous siblings, she's the only family I really have. Once she's gone, I will essentially be alone. Despite living a pretty solitary life - that actually terrifies me. So yes, I am trying to spend as much time with her as I can right now.
Anyway, telegram is a nightmare. Bots and weird companies keep spamming me with messages. I dunno if anyone else has this issue? If it carries on, I will re-activate my notes temporarily so people can contact me through that until I find an alternative. I'm trying to contact everyone, but if I have missed you, please don't hesitate to message. Sometimes I don't get a notification though.
I could re-make my telegram, but I've already done that in the past, and it didn't help much. Spam bots still got me. Literally was gone several days, and came back to several hundred unread messages from the most random companies/weird community groups.
I've held off on accepting new commissions due to this. But once I've gotten a few more pieces done, I will re-open. I'm now £5k in debt because of all this, so I need to sort my shit out and get back on track.
To those who want refunds, I shall sort those out over the next few months. I completely understand, and will have it all sorted.
To those who have been so patient with me, I greatly appreciate it. But please, do not hesitate to message me and prompt me to hurry up.
.:: 🔴 Bruh fck this year - Update 🔴 ::.
Posted a year ago
TL:DR
After a shitstorm of utter shit this year - I'm back. Work should be regular again.
~~
First off.... Fucking hell, this year already...
I'm so sorry for the silence; between several health/family emergencies, a few police visits, and the 101 other shitty events... I've had little to no time to myself for commission work.
My mother had another downward spiral to the point we thought we were going to lose her. But, she's thankfully a stubborn lady, and pulled through. But, the stress during that time took it's toll on me. Despite having several siblings, I only have a true connection with my mother. The moment she's gone? I literally have no one in my life after that. Which is why the family are pushing me to see a therapist. Good luck with that. My older sister is already eyeing up all my electronic belongings cause she thinks I'll off myself as soon as mother passes. She's a real money grabber, that one.
At least I finally have a doctor's appointment, as I'm showing the symptoms of an inflamed appendix. As someone who went through 6+ months with an infected Gallbladder sometime ago, I'm not gonna let the NHS mess me around with this again. Yes, I get that they are strained atm (To those who aren't British, as amazing as it is to have free healthcare, the NHS are just an utter mess. If I had the money for it, I would prefer to go private) But if the Doc looks at me and goes 'lol it's just trapped wind you'll be fine' like they did before (Which led to the severely infected/on the verge of sepsis Gallbladder) I will throw hands with the Doctor.
And also.... is there like a crazy wave going on atm? Before, I could go months without an insane customer coming in at my other job. Now, it's like a weekly thing. We've had security and police having to come by. Company security now pop in for a check up most evenings now because of it. Which I don't mind.... lovely chap in a uniform always brightens my day.
But yes, hopefully soon everything will settle down again. I'm on a 2 week holiday (Well, one week. The other week I'm taking sick leave cause puking several times a day is not exactly work safe) so I'm hopeful in getting as much work as I can done during that time. If my body will allow it. Have so many pieces nearly finished, is just a case of sitting down and getting it done. Also Telegram is still being a pain for me. Literally get several spam convos a day now. Not sure how these randoms keep getting my contact info, but it's very frustrating. So I need to sort through it all.
Again, I do apologise for all these delays. Things are just so bloody hectic atm. But, I seriously need to concentrate on commission work for a while, cause I do want to do this full time again. I'm so done working in the customer service sector. Being shouted at cause we don't have a certain brand of beer is NOT worth minimum wage. Would rather work from home again, doing something I actually enjoy. And not have to bother with these utter creeps that keep coming into the shop. ( I even nearly punched a customer the other day after they were being aggressive to my co-worker. I may hate my job, but I like my co-workers. )
I'm desperate to draw butts......

Got kicked in the teeth by the flu.
Shocking how often that has been recently. No Covid though - think I'm the only one at the workplace who has managed to avoid it so far. Luckily it didn't hit me as bad as usual this time, but still, being stuck in bed is nasty.
Anyway, I'm back at work now. I should have a few pieces to upload this weekend. And I'll get back to as many people as I can. Still feel sick, but at least I can move now >.>
.:: Issues with telegram ::.
Posted 2 years ago
Hey there.
For some reason, I am having major issues with telegram atm. Some messages don't seem to be updating for me.
If it looks like I haven't replied/read your message in a while, please do not hesitate to message again. Trying to get things sorted, but if it carries on, I will look into making an alternative to it for work communications.
It also doesn't help I'm spammed daily by bots. It's getting ridiculous how often that happens; not sure if it's the same for others.
Again, I am sorry if I have missed anyone.
Do not hesitate to message me!
.:: A quick update!! ::.
Posted 2 years ago
Before my internet cracks out
First off; sorry for the delays. My internet has not been working the past month. Changing providers as soon as I get paid, so hopefully that'll be sorted soon. Fed up with paying a fortune for shoddy internet.
Also, I injured my wrist at work, hence the slow progress, but it's feeling much better now. Still got a few days off from my second job, so I shall get as much done as I can during that time. I just may not be able to upload them all until this internet business is sorted out.
Relying on phone data, so I may not be able to get back to everyone. I will try though. Please don't think I'm ignoring you, I'm just having trouble responding to everyone with everything going on.
.:: A quick update! ::.
Posted 2 years ago
First off; sorry for the radio silence.
My mother is pretty much completely bed ridden now. And as her usual carer has gone away for over a month, I have been taking over for them. So when I'm not at my other job, I've been taking care of my mother.
Though my brother has finally stepped up, so will be taking over for me.
I'll be back to doing artwork come Thursday (I get 4 days off from my other job) so expect uploads this weekend. I already have several pieces nearly completed. I'll also get onto telegram Thursday and reply to everyone asking for updates. But for now, gotta rush off to work.
Because of issues at my other job (May be staff cuts soon, and as I've been aiming to quit there, I'll probably take the hit and sacrifice shifts) I need to get back into doing art full time. So except more regular uploads soon.
.:: ♥ Birthday today ♥ ::.
Posted 2 years ago
Another year still breathing. Let's gooo.
I shall be spending the day with my mother. She has demanded I not spend it alone again, so yes, I shall be busy with that today. Nothing over the top as she's bedridden, so we're just gonna chill and chat. And I shall be avoiding my sister like the plague. I think she's trying to get us to reconcile (Those who know me irl, know I loathe my sister due to her violent abuse and constant manipulation growing up) so I might give it a try..... might. Just for my mother's sake. She's the only family member I'm close to.
On a better note! I should have a few pieces to upload tonight. And contacting the next batch of people when I start their pieces either tonight if I have the energy, or tomorrow.
.:: On birthday holiday now ::.
Posted 2 years ago
Just over two weeks.
Wanted to take a day or two to myself, just to actually relax and catch up on sleep. But starting tomorrow, I shall be working 100% on commissions.
And maybe one or two personal pieces, cause it is my birthday on Tuesday lol.
I'll go through my telegram and contact people tomorrow. Recently got hit by a lot of spam (Dunno if other telegram users get this? Just dozen of spam accounts offering jobs and the like?) so have to sift through that.
My birthday plans fell through, so I will also have those days available to work. Will try to get as much done during that time.
Thank you to everyone who have been so patient with me. I will try to not keep you waiting any longer, and do some serious catch up work during this time.
.:: Quick update! Regular uploads soon ::.
Posted 2 years ago
Ok I have 3 shifts left at my second job, then I'm off for just over 2 weeks, so I plan to get as much done as I can during then.
Especially as my birthday plans seem to have fallen through. Will only be taking the evening of my birthday off now, so the rest of the time I can dedicate to artwork instead. So I should be able to get completely caught up with work during this time, as I should have little to no distractions xD
I'll try to get back to everyone on Telegram during that time. A lot of convos seem to have vanished for me on there (And getting constant spam does not help. Does anyone else have that? It's bloody annoying) so it may take some time to sort that out.
Anyway, just a quick update with what's going to happen in the next few days.

.:: Quick update! ::.
Posted 2 years ago
Sorry for the lack of activity.
I have a house inspection soon (And this place has to be immaculate, which is rather hard when you have a dog like mine) so I've been preoccupied with that.
That and I've been battling with poor health again. Sadly, I can't seem to get an appointment with the doctor anytime soon. So I'm pretty much suffering from this pain and dizziness until the NHS can find the time to see me. Got to the point I joke with my co-workers about breaking a bone or something so I can at least be seen. Then joke further that an ambulance probably won't arrive for about 8 hours lol.
Yer.... health system is pretty bad around here. Unless you're the drunk down the road, then apparently you have them on speed dial pretty much every day. Not sure how that works, but hey ho.
But I am on holiday from my second job soon (Birthday woooo), a few days I may be spending with my pal 
so I may not be productive then. But for the rest of the holiday, about 2 ish weeks, I will dedicate to work. And shall try to have 2-3 pieces done a day.
Recently my wages went up, by about £150-£200 a month, so I shouldn't have to open for too many commissions. So I aim to get a lot of catch up work done. Aim to be caught up by the end of July. Sooner if I can have a good few weeks not wanting to pass out.
.:: Quick update - I'm back ::.
Posted 2 years ago
Officially I am back.
After my bad wrist, Pancreatitis, and then the flu, I was completely out of it for quite some time. I am sorry for the silence, but I needed to fully recover (Especially the wrist. I didn't let it heal, and nearly caused permanent damaged. And for an artist.... that's kind of a career killer)
I have a few pieces finished, and shall be uploading them tonight. And am slowly getting around to contacting everyone on Telegram.
I can only apologise for the delays. My health has improved slightly, and my mother is out of the woods again (She's doing far worse than me, so my free days have been spent with her) so I'll be taking this opportunity to catch up.
.:: Back home - Mastadon viable? ::.
Posted 3 years ago
Hello all, I'm back home after visiting my mother for a while. Her health is in decline, so I've been trying to spend as much time with her. Back at my second job tomorrow, but I shall try and get as much done today as I can. Will be on Telegram a little later to respond to people.
---
Also Mastadon.
I heard it was a decent alternative to Twitter (I was going to be more active on it, until this whole business with Twitter's crash and burn happened)
But I also heard it's pretty much full of kid/cub stuff. Which makes me want to vomit. Violently.
Does anyone here know if that's the case? I did make an account, but then I saw the rumours about the content, and haven't been back on to actually check myself.
If that is the case, does anyone know of a different alternative?
.:: Ooh 6k watchers ::.

Just realised I hit the 6k mark.
I was gonna do something special for it, but I'm too focused on commission work atm whoops.
Maybe for my 7k special, I do something
<3
.:: Quick update/busted arm ::.
Posted 3 years ago
Fun times.
Anyway, after getting into a drunken misunderstanding which left me with a busted arm, I had to take a few days off to recover, so no uploads this weekend. But I have quite a few WIPs, so next weekend will be a big upload, as I am on holiday from my second job next week.
Sorry again, I didn't want to to terrible work while my arm is like this, but I should be 100% again in that department in the next dew days.
I have no plans for my holiday, so I will be aiming for 2-3 commissions finished a day.
And I'm def not going out drinking again.
.:: A quick update!! ::.
Posted 3 years ago
First off; sorry again for the silence. I've been caring for my sick mother, and trying to handle my depression at the same time. I recently quit a few bad addictions, so I'm currently all over the place. That and the fear of being homeless come Christmas is kinda wearing me down mentally.
Anyway, I should have a few pieces uploaded tonight, if I can smack this art block away. That awful feeling my work is shit keeps lingering, but I'm pushing through.
Also, due to the sheer increasing costs of just living right now (My electric nearly jumped by £70 a month even though I don't use gas LOL) I will be trying to open more regularly. But that won't happen until I'm more productive, which is gonna be a bit of a vicious cycle if I don't get my shit sorted. Barely have the will to live atm, so my brain is like 'Lol why work then'?
Then I quickly remind my brain that EVERYTHING COSTS MONEY.
Anyway, enough of that. I am kicking my butt back into gear and should have a few things to upload tonight. Just gotta finish shading and rendering theses, and they'll be done.
A reminder though. Between Mon - Thur I am at my second job, so I can't get much done during then. And neither am I on my Telegram much during then. I'm usually only active there when I'm working on art.
I'm also re-doing my Trello. Got everything written down except the YCHs, as I keep those posted on my FA as a list of sorts. Though best to get them down on Trello too. I'll post a separate journal about that once it's completed.
Thank you to everyone that has been patient with me so far. I don't deserve it, but I appreciate it immensely <3
.:: Fucking heatwave again ::.
Posted 3 years ago
As someone who doesn't own an AC, or even a fan, it's been hell here. I can only have my PC on when it's at it's coolest, which isn't for very long.
Hasn't even been a wind here, so my open windows have been useless lol. Where is my British weather at? I'm missing the wind and rain. My favourites.
Anyway, I did get a few pieces done over the weekend, but passed out before I could upload them. I shall post them tonight after work when it hopefully cools down (Fingers crossed).
I'm also on holiday from my second job this Thursday, for a week, so I'm gonna be working my ass off. Most of my friends moved away, so I'm gonna have plenty of free time lol. If I can trust the weather man, it's supposed to cool down during my holiday. Which would be fantastic, cause I just want to sit down and do my fucking work >.>
Hope everyone is staying safe during this heat. Even had wildfires around here, which is like... unheard of.
.:: Current heatwave ::.
Posted 3 years ago
So Britain is going through a nasty heatwave right now.
About 38 degrees where I am. Already had heat exhaustion due to my second job, so I'm a little under the weather. That and it's far too hot to have my work PC on. She's old, and over heats.
Hopefully when I'm off work this weekend, the temp will go down so I can get back to work.
.:: Recovered and back to work now ::.
Posted 3 years ago
Sorry about the lack of updates.
My body decided Gallstones was on the agenda.
But I've pretty much recovered now, and I'll have pieces to upload over the weekend.
Also, the bloody weather is far too hot. I need my usual British wind and rain.

.:: An update about Council problems ::.
Posted 3 years ago
First off; thank you everyone who recently commissioned me. I have paid off a large chunk of what I owed the Council
They finally got back to me, and have extended the deadline for the money. I'm still waiting to see if my 'offer of payment' will be accepted or not. If so, it'll only be about £115 a month I need to pay, instead of the lump sum.
It's still a considerable amount a month (I'll have to sacrifice food funds, but that's preferable rather than getting into more trouble with the Council) but better than being forced to pay all at once. Hopefully they will accept my offer.
I'm still on the lookout for a third job (Even though I'm physically not supposed to. Shame the NHS is messing me around with that) just so I can have the extra funds to just basically survive where I live. Sadly where I live prefer employing foreign workers (No hate or anything, I serve them all at the place I work and they're amazing people lol.) so I'm kinda out of luck there.
Except where I currently work. I had to jump through so many hoops to prove I was born and raised in Britain to work there lol. And sadly, due to them cutting back on staff pay, I can't get anymore hours at my current job. And I'm left to do the job of three people, cause they refuse to hire more hands. In summer... It's fucking hectic, and leaves me in considerable pain after a shift. As much as I would to quit such a terrible job environment, I simply can't afford to. Art simply doesn't make me enough to survive on anymore. As much as I wish I could work solely from home again... I miss those days.
Anyway, that's enough rambling. I'm on my holiday now, so after this Monday (My birthday which I'm spending alone again wheeee~) Expect regular uploads. Aim to get a lot of catching up done. Will be nice to just be able to sit down and draw, and not have to worry about my other job.
