Hello! Many apologies for my absence. I've had a hard time keeping up with everything so I just kind of.. stopped for a little bit. But I plan on catching up on here as best I can. Just wanted to give some warning that I'll be uploading a bunch of junk and moving stuff around. ALSO: I will be clear…
YO ok I'm super last-minute with this but here it is. I hope whoever is attending FWA has a really fun and eventful weekend! See you there! Where are you staying? Marriott What day are you getting there? Thursday afternoon/evening How are you traveling? Driving up from FL w my roommates! (Quaggy +…
If I sold merchandise with a character like Aardy on it, how would you feel? I like the thought of doing pre-mades with my characters on them, since they’re pretty much the “mascots” of my art/image. But I don’t know how many people like the idea of having someone else’s fursona/personal OC on thei…
A few friends and I are desperately searching for a home for a cat, Greg. He's a 5-year-old manx who is neutered with (trimmed) claws. He prefers a home with no other cats, but if the owner is understanding and good with training, it should be fine. He should not be around any large dogs, however.…
Come Mid-late January, I’ll be moving out of my wife’s mom’s house and in with some roommates so I’ll be ~officially independent~ yaay! This move has been a long time coming, but the possibility of school (totally not happening any time soon) and a few other things have postponed it for a while. I…
Hey!! So if you hadn't noticed by all the uploading I've been doing (sorry for the flood omg), I'm back from the con! Therefore, I'm ready to get back on finishing the commissions I took BEFORE my con pre-orders! My apologies for the wait and I'm hoping to get those finished in a timely matter. If…
So, I decided to start using my FA again for commission purposes, same old username: http://www.furaffinity.net/user/rooibos/ ALSO Nettle and I have changed our collaboration account, so please follow it if you get a chance! -> FancyRats

So yeah I'm 24 now! My birthday was on the 1st of this month. I was actually sick on my birthday, so I didn't really do anything but lay around with my wife (which is a pretty nice way to spend a birthday anyway IMO). Then I was gone for a few days for my father-in-law's wedding! It was on a pirate…
I just wanted to thank everyone who commented on my last journal! Your input and varying perspectives were really, REALLY appreciated and helped me a lot. Just wanted to make a separate journal stating this because though I've read them all, I really haven't been able to come up with adequate repli…
Everyone's been talking about Weasyl slowing down lately, and though I have no intentions of leaving this site right now, I wondered if anyone had opinions on any others? I used to love DeviantArt when I was first starting to post my artwork online, but I left and can't really remember why. Do many…
I just wanted to note that I will be scarce for the next 3 weeks or so. Please refer to my Trello for my progress if you're waiting on a commission: https://trello.com/b/2J6J7TK7/commissions ~or~ Email me if you have any questions or concerns: RooibosArt[AT]gmail[DOT]com
Commissions are closed, thank you! I thought I should let everyone know that I am closing for ALL types of commissions tomorrow (Monday, June 23rd). SO, if you've been thinking about getting something from me, do it quick! I don't know when I'll be re-opening yet. Basic commission info is here. Bad…
I wasn't able to gather sufficient funds and aid in time to make it to Sheridan this year, unfortunately. So, I'm stuck here again this year. Needless to say, I'll be applying next year with a lot more knowledge and time to prepare. I'll also be applying to more than just one school (dumb thing not…
I put these links in my profile section, but I thought I'd make a journal entry about them anyway. ~(UwU~) I now have pages up on Spoonflower, Storenvy, and Society6; I've had a couple people ask me about my Gastly pattern, so I put it up on Spoonflower to be bought as fabric or wrapping paper! I L…
So, college for me is coming up in August. I am extremely excited to attend, but finances are getting in the way and scaring me at this point. I am attending college out of the country (Sheridan in Canada) and I need to be able to prove that I can pay to get my student visa by June (just ONE month)…
Edit: The icon slots have been claimed. The plushie is still available. I'm planning on opening for more commissions in a few days, BUT I have four pixel icons and I want to make a set, so I'm opening for two to be done fairly quickly. Examples include my current icon and these. $15 each. First com…
About an hour ago, I mailed out badges and charms! Just to clear up any further confusion (and to save me the trouble of noting everyone individually), I've compiled a list below of everyone I shipped merch to. If I owe you something and you do not see your name below, please let me know immediatel…
Quaggy, Nettle, and I decided to make a collaboration account together. We just opened for some digital painted busts over there to help us out financially during our journey, so please check it out! °˖ ✧ ✧˖ ° ヽ(＾▽＾)人(＾▽＾)人(＾▽＾)ﾉ Journal is here: https://www.weasyl.com/journal/48549/bust-commission…
I'm still away from home, which has been pretty tough on my wallet. I really want to try my best to catch up, as I need to become as financially secure as possible before I leave for college in August! So, I'm starting by taking some small commissions for now! I want to take these to help improve m…
Long story short, my partner, Nettle and I have been planning on getting married for the past year or so. We've been in Lubbock, TX for the past week and decided that we'd take a day to drive over to New Mexico to get married (gay marriage is legal there, woo hoo!) So, we did that yesterday in ROSW…
Something important came up a few days ago and I had to leave the state to accompany a friend who's dealing with a family emergency. It was extremely sudden, so I was not able to gather up and send out badges and charms before I left. At this point, we don't know when we'll be able to return home,…
A few of my pals who take commissions use Trello to keep track of their progress, so I decided to try it out! So, from now on you can check the status on your commission on my board: https://trello.com/b/2J6J7TK7/commissions
Talk about a great con! Despite feeling a little under the weather, I had a wonderful time! I spend a lot of the con in the AA, where I got to see and talk to a lot of folks (huge thanks to those who stopped by my table). I really enjoyed hanging out with my wonderful roomies and friends I haven't…
Where are you staying? The main Hotel. What day are you getting there? Thursday. How are you traveling? ROOOADTRIIIP with some hot babes. Who will you be rooming with?

Plushie Badges! Info Examples HERE. These are $30 (USD) each. They range from about 4-5 inches (10-12cm). Your character will be plushified! Therefore, I will likely simplify your character's design. Colors will be changed, patterns will be added. Cuteness will be increased. There are only 10 slots…
So, my partner just opened for the mat board badges she makes as pre-orders for FWA next month!! Since her account is just starting out, I wanted to give it a little signal boost! CHECK THEM OUT HERE!! Info for getting one is here. I have of these badges myself (mine is the first example) and I LOV…
So for the past few months, I've been working really hard on preparing my portfolio for applying to school. So hard that I didn't really pay much mind to my computer's performance quickly declining, so I was extremely surprised when the hard drive crapped out last week! I'm not asking for computer…
What's your real name? Kale is derived from Kailey, nickname is courtesy of my best buddy, Quaggy. A few people know me by 'Aardy' too! How tall are you? About 5'2". What's your natural hair color? I was blonde as a child, but my hair darkened to a deep brown over time. What's your eye color? Hazel…
So, a lot of FA folks have revisiting since the downtime over there and I'm more than delighted to give this site another shot! Cleared out my gallery because I'm stupidly obsessive about consistency (and I like clean starts anyway). Big thanks to those who watched me previously and have stuck by d…
