Hello all!

I hope this journal finds you well. You may have seen in my gallery, but I have finally added some of my backlogged art to my gallery that I had been saying I would upload for the last year and a half.

After surviving company layoffs and having my hours cut, I am finally kicking my butt into gear to return to being a working/posting artist.

Not only from a monetary sense, but I do really miss how prolific I used to be in creating art, and it used to be something I was so passionate about and motivated in doing. I feel like I am facing so many more hurdles now with the way technology, social media, NFT/Ai art and all the other bullshit has affected the landscape for artists, but what the hell was the point of trying in the first place if I give up now, right? I will not be returning to full-time art for income as it lacks the stability and healthcare that a non-art job provides, but I will do my best to squeeze more art into my hours for myself and for work.

For anyone interested in commissions, I am in the middle of overhauling my price guide and cultivating samples of more up to date work. Hopefully this process will be fully complete and the new guide(s) will be available by May 22 once I return from some traveling.

Last few years have been incredibly tough with life's challenges, but full of lots of growth and healing. I am glad I took the time to focus on those things, and hope my return to posting online feels more fruitful than it used to be.

Catch you later!
