Yikes. So, it's been 10 years since I've been active here. I've made a few updates here and there, but nothing of any sort of importance towards my artwork. 10 years ago, I met a guy, fell in love, got married and ran away with him, had a couple kidlings. Motherhood, while the greatest gift I've ever been given, is fucking hard. And being a stay at home mother of two small toddlers is even harder. Anyone out there in similar situations can agree. Soon you have no time for all the other things you love, and you just simply become The Person Who Keeps The Kids Alive And Happy. Somewhere in the middle of all that, I completely lost touch with myself, and forgot who I was. My morals, all the things I valued, and all the people I loved were just forgotten and were replaced by this bitter, selfish girl who really only wanted to be happy and at peace with herself. Being in that horrible mental state and under the influence of very toxic people, shitty choices were made, and in an instant my entire world was completely shattered.

When you finally clear away the rubble of pain, all that's left is some severe scars, and wisdom. It's been nearly a year now, and 8 months of therapy, but I'm finally at a place where I can stand my reflection in the mirror again. My husband is seriously the greatest guy I've ever known in my life, and if I didn't know what love was prior to him, I sure as shit do now. My kids have taught my patience. Not only with them, but with myself. Just like them, I'm learning about myself in a territory I'ved never ventured before: motherhood. And just like how I'll love my kids unconditionally as they screw up while learning about life, I'll also love myself when I do the same.

So what does this all have to do with art? Well, I've been drawing from the time I was very little. My artwork has always been a form of self expression, and my characters have always been some artistic representation of myself, Sachi in particular. I want to reclaim that fun, happy, goofy, spazzy ass girl that just bullshits her way through life with a grin, because honey badger don't give a fuck!

My artwork brings me back to the basics of me! I don't ever want to lose sight of that again!
