Hello again!

For everyone who may not have been up to date with the ongoings of my life, basically 2018 was one of the worst years of my life. My husband left for someone else, I had to rehome my dog, I lost many friends and my mental health went so downhill I lost my casual jobs!

clap HOWEVER!

Right now, things are actually going pretty well! I've cleared ALL my commission backlog so I'm happy to say I can take on limited commissions! (I'm still returning to art after a long time so I want to pace myself!) Freelancing will be my main means of income at the moment, so I'll be making sure my website and social media sites are all ready to take on art work!

Also, my mental health has settled and I'm managing, I'm drawing again which is fantastic! I make cute bead jewellery, great coffee, play video games and meditate. So I'm doing far better! (I miss having a pet though, but I cna deifnitely say I'm not in a position to be a

2019 is my year for finding myself~ I am an artist and I need to pursue that because no matter what path I go down, I always, ALWAYS come back to cartooning and illustrations. So, I'll make a go of it! One of the things I want to set up in a Patreon again! I at least have a Ko-Fi:
Which helps immensely! How? Donations means I can keep my website up and running, supporting other artists and various other tidbits!

So, my resolutions?

1. Change my last name so I'm no longer the broken half of a combined family name (I adapted my last name from my ex-husband and it hurts being called something I'm not.)
   Also as a non-binary there are a lot of male names I want to include so it's legal for me to have someone call me a BOY name. Yeah!

2. Get out and about more! I used to love adventure but over time for various reasons became disillusioned and just stayed at home. However, I need fresh air and exercise! I have a wonderful camera so I think I'm gonna take up photography again just for fun and try and get some decent photos around where I live!

3. Actually train and practice in art. My style did not develop during 2018 since art was few and far between. But, I now have the time, passion and dedication to take up life drawing and practice along tutorials again! There is still so much to learn!

4. Make A Comic! Just even drafting right down to the last page, not even finished but there! Rough drawings, rough dialogue but on pages with an order to them is enough! This one is going to be the toughest but I have so many stories I want to tell, it's about time I tell them!

5. Be Alive and Happy. I have so much to live for, and so much to do. And even though there will be rough times, down times, self-loathing times etc. there will also be hopeful times!

6. Read more! I used to LOVE books as a kid but as an adult I find myself just mindlessly on social media more and more, I need to find a better distraction, like reading! So gonna be finding more books to get into!

I'm so excited to see how far I can go with these! So, thank you all again for being so supportive of me, and I'm really looking forward to how high I can soar and how far I'll go! So watch this space!
