Oof. MAN! 2023 started off great, but much like last year it took a big dumpy around summer time. And once again... it was mostly financial struggles. Sucks when money dictates so much of your progress.

As a result of this, pretty much all of my projects I was PLANNING to pick back up in 2023 had to stay on hiatus, and once again I had to focus a LOT of my time on commissions. I have mentioned it before, but as much as I really do like doing commissions (I love making people happy and drawing so many cool OCs), doing my own projects with my own characters is what brings me the most joy. I really didn't get to do much personal work OR work on my comic... and that kinda stinks!

But I'm not gonna dwell on the negatives. Shit happens! Gotta move onward!

One thing I enjoyed this year was starting back streaming, this time on TWITCH! I only got to stream a couple times, but the move to Twitch from Picarto made a huge difference. I really enjoyed it when I did do it! So for 2024 I am planning to take every Thursday off from my day job and stream! I might not stream EVERY Thursday, but I will be streaming as often as I can. My first Thursday off is NEXT WEEK and I'm excited! I'll be returning to doing commissions strictly in stream from now on, and when I'm not doing commissions I'll be doing personal art! There's so much I wanna do!! 

If you'd like to follow my streaming adventures (attempt #443093) you can follow my Twitch! I'll only be using Picarto for content not Twitch-friendly going forward. I'll look into possibly streaming to both platforms simultaneously, as I know that's a thing, but I have to look more into it.
