This is for you kind souls who have commissioned me so far. I know I said I wanted to send 50% of my commission profits to COVID19 relief funds. I trust you won't mind I gave 100% to the Black Lives Matter Global Network instead. After the events of the past weeks, I felt this to be a more pressing cause. So thank you all, for allowing me to make this contribution. I haven't worked nearly as much as I hoped I would during these weeks, but I intend to do more and do better in the next month.
In the meantime, I advise you to support black creatives directly, get involved, open your ears, listen, learn, educate yourself and others, amplify, share charity links and support funds and, if you're protesting, don't instigate violence and stay safe <3.
I also urge you to share this very useful twitter thread of bailout funds and grassroot organizations and this great video to help raise funds with the youtube revenue you generate just by simply watching it (without skipping adds). (I have in on for repeat rn, it's got great music and a cool artwork slideshow from black creatives, 100% reccomended!).
Secondly, I want to thank you all for helping me cover my cumberson personal bills just with your patronage in the past months. I can't begin to tell you how much of a relief it is to have been able to cover for them. Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support!!
Finally, in other unrelated news, I wanted to apologise for the delay in responding to your messages and keeping up with the last commission requests you've sent me. My mental and physical health have been taking a serious toll in the past month. I have discovered a new stage of sleep deprivation where you get palpitations out of nowhere and your body itches all over all through the night. Last night I finally failed to sleep at all. I'm unable to work efficiently in these conditions. I want to focus on fixing this issue now, so I'm giving myself a brief break from commission/patreon work this week. (No need to worry about not getting your money's worth of patreon exclusive content in the meantime ;) I have drawn enough stuff during the past month to cover for the whole month of June and it has all been scheduled to be posted in the next weeks).
Starting Monday, commission work resumes full time again (and all profits will go to the BLM movement). 💪
Thank you once again for your support and your attention!
