Life Update
Added 2022-12-07 11:41:40 +0000 UTCHello everyone I hope you all have been doing well! I just wanted to give an update since it has been a number of days since I last posted.
As I alluded to recently, I begun working a retail job this week to pay the bills and not be homeless over Christmas. However three days in and I’m already having a very good idea of how draining this job is, especially in the physical sense, really isn’t fun standing for 7hrs and running around, after spending the last 7yrs of my life doing graphic design at a desk my body really isn’t used to any of this so it’s struggling to keep up (my age ain’t doing me any favours either), and with no time off until this weekend (honestly don’t think it’ll be enough) I really haven’t had the time for almost any art at all, other than some small bits I do on the iPad cause laying on my bed is the only relief from the pain in my legs even though I took all the recommended painkillers today I could safely take, I’m still in pain :’(
I did start a small single page Enho comic that I’ll be attempting to finish, if anything to just comfort myself to make myself feel better.
But overall for now my art schedule is really bad. I am waiting to see once my body gets used to the job and if/when they change my shifts to mid-day to evening if that will give me some time and energy. Otherwise I may continue with keeping the Patreon billing on pause until things either improve or I finally switch work (or quit whichever comes first) which I’m unsure when that will happen next year.
Either way I wanted to give you guys a heads up and that I’m sorry things are patchy on the art front. I will try my best to figure stuff out!

it is very new, but I have learnt a few things that may make being interviewed for jobs next year difficult, so we going to see how I go. But also how long my body can hold out, as the reason I switched out from retail work originally was cause my knees were constantly in pain. So yeah, we shall see!
