Appreciation post

As I'm taking a dinner brake from working on the latest batch of elements to the Cartoon Carwash, I couldn't help feeling a wave of gratitude for you all and I wanted to share that with you.

I've been on this site for years.

When I decided to move from games to comics, you all sticked with me.

When I had surgery and had MONTHS of slower output, you all sticked with me.

When I decided a few weeks ago to slow down on the bigger projects to take on commissions, your responses where overwhelming. And for the first time in at least 6 months, I did not end this one in the red. You can't imagine how much of a relief that is for me.

Last week, when I decided to remove a picture that was overall all right but blurred the line too much, none of you complained, and the messages I had about it where all understanding and in support of my decision. Which I appreciated even in the midst of repetitive anxiety attacks about it. It helped!

And this week, when I decided to temporarily slow things down even more so I could recuperate from theses attacks, while I'm not going to tell you that I was overwhelmed by get well cards :P the little contacts I got from some of you where super nice to me and only wishing me well.

What can I say? I am super lucky to have you. And will do everything I can to be deserving of that kindness toward me and your continual support.

I often say : "I'll be forever grateful". In these exact words. I sometime wonder if the repetition of that particular line could be considered as a lack of sincerity of my part. Nothing could be further from the truth. It's just that once my brain finds a path to do a particular thing in a particular way, it's pretty hard for me to change ways ^^

so I'll repeat it again: Thank you all for everything.
I'll be forever grateful!
And will see you all real soon.
