on 2017

ok sorry to make another big text post but BASICALLY: good news! as you can probably tell from the upped content 2017 is inexplicably working some real life magic on me, my heart is light my skin is fresh and my mind is inspired and full of pictures of animal people and stuff. ive also done a bunch of work on my theme, and changed my commission prices a little, which brings me to my next point:

my commissions are now a bit more closed. ive just started seeing a new therapist (woohoo) and it was VERY relieving to hear that im apparently suffering from burnout and existential shame, rather than just being lazy and not getting a job. basically i struggle a LOT with doing anything where my services are exchanged for money; it really freaks me out. so for now at least im making my art more of a me-time thing rather than an outlet im trying to monetize. i might open for them occasionally (i will announce it), but i wont be taking many and it will just be for fun!

BUT. im now open for trades!! no guarantee ill accept it obviously, but i probably will, mood allowing. i LOVE doing gifts for people and i LOVE getting gifts from people, so if i look at trades as more of a non-secret santa than an exchange of goods and services then theyre very appealing to me! and my last point is that now that im consistently doing art again (knock on wood) im gonna have a go at streaming more often. i have a picarto account which is linked in my about page, so feel free to follow it! fair warning though, my taste in music is........ debatable

thats about it!! thanks for sticking round - it brings me immeasurable pleasure to be able to share my stupid animal drawings, and i love every last one of you for actually signing up for more. hopefully youll be seeing more of me in the days to come!!
