Hello. It's been a long time since we've heard from you. Are any new posts coming for this year?

I can’t make any promises as to when I’m going to be able to return to this project, but I’m not done with it. I keep my Tumblr notifications on still to remind me that I still want to do this, and I still keep paying for the domain name every year. Thank you for your support, though, even though I left off at a weird place!

I have definitely considered them, and I love them! But realistically I have no idea whatsoever when I’ll get to them 😅

Just wanted to say that I was just thinking about you and your art last week and was wondering how you were doing! I'm so sorry you've had a rough couple years, but you're not alone! And I'm glad you're in a better place in life now. Take care of yourself! 💛

Thank you! I can’t tell everyone everything that I’ve been going through, but I do know myself better now, and I feel like I can express myself better now, both as an artist and as just a person, and I thank God for that. Thank you for your well-wishing, and I hope you stay healthy too! I know I’m not the only one who goes through things, but thank you for thinking of me anyway! ❤️

#x #thank you!!

You guys are crazy...

...for still following me, lol. But here’s my occasional “I’m not dead!” post. For an extremely quick recap that skips basically all the details:

- 2020: Hated it. Financial problems, went through a hurricane, got a dog, unstable living situation, no motivation. 2/10, would not do again.

- 2021: Year of respiratory issues, poverty, bad plumbing, and no wifi in a moldy slum; wisdom tooth removal (anesthesia is CRAZY); lost an old friend; started writing a book. 0/10, shockingly worse than previous year.

- 2022: PROS - WIFI, better finances, not being poisoned by mold, book writing is mostly finished. CONS - Had a terrible time trying to manage the office and finances for a business that was slowly dying in the changing economy and it has been exhausting

The business I was working for is shutting down, and I’m currently between jobs trying to update my graphic design portfolio. I’m older and richer now, so for the first time in my life, I can kind of take my time job hunting, which means I’m HOME and IN THE ZONE sometimes!

In addition, I’m also nearing the end of the proofreading phase of the book I’ve been writing, so I can finally return to other projects I had on hold, which includes the Faunal Frontier to some extent.

Now I’m not saying I’ll be consistent (have I ever been in the last four years?), but I DO have about nine illustrations that I did back in 2020 that I never released, and I’m gonna cue them up for the next few Fridays. And maybe I’ll be able to keep up a weekly post schedule for a while? Who knooowwwws!!

#to all of you who asked any questions #over the last two years #if you still want an answer #could you please repeat the question? #DID YOU KNOW #mold can be in your air conditioning unit?? #rip my lungs #to clarify I am by no means rich #but I can afford a little steak every now and then #im actually kind of excited #usually my general feeling when I do these posts #is guilt #lol #x #news #are people even still on tumblr these days?

Hey everyone. In the continuing trend of 2020 being a terrible year, my best friend’s dad died suddenly in an accident today. Because he’s been dealing with some major medical issues since last year, his family doesn’t have a lot of money for a funeral. I know that times are hard for all of us, and I know here lately I don’t produce near enough content to ask you to spare a dime, but if you’ve got a dollar to help lay a man to rest, I know that Crystal and her family would appreciate it.
