Life & Art Updates: Lost my job by baLOrKIn

Hi folks!

When I returned from Eurofurence, I hoped I could write a joyful journal about my time there soon after I worked off my overtime at the day job. But, after two weeks of said overtime, I was made redundant and lost my position. This is sad routine in the industry, but I have been lucky ever since, so this is the first time I experience this first-hand.

Sad thing is sad, but life is life. I am a little in a pinch, here, as the 'season' is bad and I will probably have to be on the lookout for some months. Until a new opportunity comes up, I am returning to art as my bread-and-butter-job. I haven't done this since Uni, so some of my galleries are a little dusty. I will try to change that and update

in the next couple of days. I will also come around with some commission specials and after working off my couple of EF homework commissions, I will return to accepting full coloured pieces again.

I will probably revive my [b]Etsy store and sell some originals[/b]. Some originals in my gallery are already marked for sale, so check out my SALES folder, please, if you might. I have some swag as well that can be ordered from me directly or my Etsy store in the future. right now I am dealing with bureaucracy. I also had some vet bills, so that is that.

I originally planned to dive fully into my personal art project, my webcomic [b]"A Fools Journey"[/b] when returning from EF, and I will keep it up. If you are interested in this project and want to support me, keep an eye out for journals and submissions about it as I am about to set up a new [b]website for this project [/b]on which you will then be able to make [b]donations[/b] to the cause. But for now, Commissions will come first, so if you are planning commissioning me, just watch out for my journals and openings here and on Twitter or contact me directly with what you have in mind.

A note on witter: This is hands-down the most immediate way to keep updated on my art, commission status and whereabouts, so I cannot recommend following me there enough. Thanks for considering.

If you want to help in a different way, I would be humbled if you'd help promoting my art business and share my offers on your favorite platform. If you got a commission from me, before, refer me to your friends or comment on my work and let me know what you'd like to see from me in the future. It is all appreciated. I am also available for collabs or whatnot. Every little helps. =)

I tune out for now as it will take some time to update my online presence and go through my waiting list again. Next on the list are my EF customers

  • KrankesPapst:
  • Khirdas
  • Greldon
  • Secoh & Tylon

I will keep you up to date on special commission offers and my waiting list! Thanks for your support past, present and future!

    Sorry to hear of the negative turn of events. If you would like any signal boost or promotion of commission openings you decide to throw out there just ask. Poke me here if we can help out with such things.

    Sorry to hear that. From all news you can get after an awesome event this is probably one of the worst. :(
    I can't support you with money nor do I have a reputation which would allow me to gather customers for you on Weasyl or elswhere but be asured my thumbs are pressed as hard as possible for you!
