Important Life Update
Added 2025-03-10 06:42:49 +0000 UTCI've sat here trying to figure out how to start this, since some of you have been here so long you've known I've been struggling to find supplement paid work besides patreon & Etsy, since neither are at a stage that I can comfortably live off of (yet! I'm working towards it!)
I was going to do a long winded explanation of how I've gotten to this point but really I don't think you all want to be sitting here reading an essay.
So here's the tea;
Last week I went to an interview for an unpaid internship at a Greeting Card company For those who are new or don't know, I used to work as a graphic designer at a Greeting card company for 4.5yrs before it went bankrupt (and didn't pay my retirement funds that it owed me but that's a whole other tea).
To my surprise, I was offered the internship today, it starts next week and is 2 days a week for 3 months, and if it goes well, may lead to some stable employment to supplement what I do here on Patreon and Etsy. I WILL NOT BE STOPPING PATREON!!!
During these 3 months I will continue to work every other day of the week as well as evenings after my internship to keep giving you all as much art as I can, I just wanted to keep you all up to date on this that may affect the art frequency, even if it's only just a little.
I appreciate all the support I get, whether one month or more, every little bit has helped me keep a roof over my head, my kitties fed and my drawing hand to keep giving as much as I can. So if you've read till the end thank you so much. I'll keep everyone updated on what happens and if it affects the patreon π
p.s OH! Also, don't worry I'll still be packing and sending out all the patreon packages over the next few weeks in-between doing art, don't you worry I haven't forgotten!

After doing 2 days already so far it is a nice place, it's far from where I live but I can work around that for now :) Thank you for the well wishes I hope that it does go okay, and I am happy I'm able to keep bringing art and merch to all of you here π

2025-03-20 21:38:41 +0000 UTCThank you, would be nice if it turns into some form of paid work, but whether it does or doesn't won't stop me from giving you all here on patreon as much juicy art as I can! :3 plus lets be real, these two fictional men (and any others I draw) are keeping me sane xD
