Howdy patrons,

There’s no easy way to say this, so I’ll get right to the point: I’m not doing well lately. I haven’t felt great for a large portion of this year, but I tried to find ways around or through it. That strategy has worked in the past, but this time around, a perfect storm of circumstances lead to me hitting a hard wall. Burnout, major depression, anxiety… all the things I’ve worked hard to maintain over the years bubbled up and overwhelmed me.

When this happens I have a terrible habit of dropping or ghosting any and all of my obligations. Work, deadlines, events, and communication gets fumbled in the process. I wish I had better coping skills, but unfortunately it’s still an area of self improvement I’m working on.

That said, I wanted to give you an update and to be honest about what’s going on. I’m in the process of moving over the next two months. I likely will be focusing my time and energy on packing, moving, and ‘restarting’ in a new location. Public and Patreon posts will likely be very slow if they happen at all. The online shop is closed until further notice. My social media presence will also likely be diminished or will have non-art related content for a bit. This includes Discord and Twitch streams. I’m using this time to take a step back and focus on getting back into a healthier mental state.

I apologize again. I felt I owed you all at least some kind of heads up or explanation for my behavior. I do plan to be back with public and patron-exclusive content by September or October. If you’d like to adjust your pledges accordingly, I understand completely and hope that you’ll choose to join again once I’m back at a fuller capacity.

Thank you all so much for your support and patience. I wish you all happiness and health and look forward to speaking again soon.

Megan
