(Original journal taken from my main account.)

First off, Furfest was amazing per usual. The convention is ALWAYS well-run, set up super professionally, and the hotel staff is always super excited to see us. I was able to establish some new friendships and see some people from the Milwaukee/Chicago area that I'd left behind when I moved down to Orlando. Overall, super nice, super fun, and I feel great about it. I was also able to see my siblings for a bit, who have both sort of made a conversion to the furry fandom now. My brother just kept saying, "I really want a fursuit now..." so that was hilarious. It was also nice to not have to leave Yodel this year! We're back home together, along with our roommates. Really, really glad I didn't have to say goodbye to all of them.

The roommates and I debuted our sled dog fursuits (all made by Sunny Valley Creations of course), and it was so awesome to see the public reaction to the suits. They really seem to have been well-received, and I absolutely LOVE acting in Cascade.

Due to a sort of falling out with my mother, I've officially decided to attempt to take up illustration/fandom work as a full-time, primary job. I have a huge debt over my shoulder in addition to the typical bills every month, so it'll be very difficult, and I am AWFUL and self-management and self-discipline, but I don't exactly have another choice right now. So! Hopefully more art uploads. Hopefully. I mean it needs to happen, right?

That being said, I am working on clearing out my queue and polishing things up. My commission tab on my main profile is up to date, and my front page on my main account and on this account should be as up-to-date as possible right now.

If you are interested in commissioning me, do not hesitate to ask. I do not require payment right away, and I am relatively open to anything you might have. If you do have a SFW request in mind, I ask that you message me over there instead. Just makes things a tad easier on me as far as organization goes.

I am no longer holding a "maximum" number of slots. I should be able to just give estimated wait times, and I will be going in order of first come, first serve, in terms of timely completion.

Other than that, I'm alright. Dealing with your typical early-20-year-old drama. Punches it all away from me.
