I really hate the inner workings that come with being in any artists circle. It’s a load of bullshit. 

You can never just draw and be happy about it. There’s always something else. Something fucking stupid. 

Sometimes I have to remind myself to keep myself as far away from that crap as possible. It always comes with heavy baggage. 

I just want to draw and make a living off of it. I don’t give a rats ass about who’s who or what’s what. 

I’ll be opening commissions as well as putting up YCH’s again. Since my job ends on July 4th (how symbolic) I don’t want to waste anytime keeping my income rolling in, so I’ll be doing everything I can to make sure I stay on top of my game. 

I know there’s a handful of people who’ve been asking about commissions for a little while, and to those of you who did, I have you written down on a waiting list, so I’ll make sure I contact you all first. If there is anyone around looking to catch a commission slot, please let me know in my messages and I’ll be sure to try and accommodate everyone. I obviously don’t want to take more than I think I can handle in one go, but I’ll certainly be doing my best to make sure that I don’t overwork myself. 

As for YCH auctions, I’ll be starting my first round of YCH’s around a particular subject. It should be a fun one to do seeing that I’ve been a fan of this particular kink for a lil while but never drew much of it. We shall see how it goes over. :3c

On a side note, I’ll also be jump starting my Patreon for personal projects like the lil comics I like to work on. Private Fluster is also on the list for Patreon support. 

All of that being said, this week I’ll be focusing heavily on getting prices and other matters for artwork in order. I’m pretty nervous about getting this all right, so I’ve been pretty on edge about it all. I’m excited, but scared! Taking on your own work and being your own boss can be a little intimidating, especially when you have bills to pay. I’m not new to this endeavor, but I’ve never tackled it with this clear a mindset for it. 

Just a small update for now!

Thanks for reading! 

For the past 4 months, I’ve been working for a small music shop out in Sacramento. It’s a small business that hasn’t been doing very well as of late due to obsolete business practices and poor ownership. I’ve been earning minimum wage at this job and putting in 110% effort, which was met with a thank you. Basically, I wasn’t given any raises, wouldn’t be getting any raises, and commission rates at the shop were pretty much nonexistent.

The job took up 5 days out of the week and left me heavily fatigued. Most of my time at the shop was spent merchandising and organizing their sales departments, but after most of that work was done, there was not much else to do. This resulted in me sitting around most days and doing next to nothing. Sometimes I’d help a customer here and there, but in the end it’s insanely unsatisfying work for shit pay. 

It’s because of this that I’ve decided to hand in my 2 weeks notice with the company to return to art and music full-time. 

I’ve been able to make a reasonable living from my work before when I didn’t have myself together, so I feel I can responsibly tackle this avenue again. I want to start doing YCH’s again, I want to open up commissions for multiple art works, I want to start streaming everyday again, and I want to focus time for some music projects that I’ve not been able to. 

There’s going to be more challenges for me to face in the future no doubt. Mostly having to do with being able to pay all of my bills every month. 

I’m willing to give this a shot though. 

I just can’t and won’t waste my time at a place that’s completely unfulfilling just for a paycheck. 

I want to make my own way again. 

So yes. I’ll be returning to my artistic pursuits full-time once again. This time with a renewed vision for what I plan to accomplish. 

I hope you’ll all stick along for this next step in my artistic pursuits. 

It’s a exciting chapter. I want to really make this happen. 

Thanks for listening and supporting me. Love you all.

More details on this soon. 

One thing I can confirm is that commissions will be opening up very soon. 

I’ll be posting up more details on this tonight. 

So just to keep all of you in the loop, I wanted to let you guys in on what’s going on in life. 

I’m going to be away for a couple of days while I travel down past LA to visit a friend at hospital. I’ll be spending my weekend with him to see him through some rough times. 

While this has been on my mind, I’ve also been thinking on other important things. My life has been a small mess in relation to my job, what is fulfilling to me, and where I’ll eventually end up in the future. 

A couple of things might happen. I’m not sure what’s going to happen just yet, but either way I’m aware of the consequences. 

I’ll give you all a bigger update on life soon, but I just wanted you all to know that life is taking the wheel at the moment, so I need to just let it happen until I can settle down and figure things out again.

Thanks for the endless support you’ve all poured into me. This ride is far from over.
