First off, for those waiting for commissions, thank you so much for being so unbelievably patient throughout the last few months (holy crap it's been FIVE months!). For those who noticed I was being quiet and checked in on me, I appreciate that too. I literally came to a dead halt art wise. This year has taken me by the seat of my pants and thrown me about in several different ways. I moved, moved back, went through the death of my brother in law (one of the hardest things I've ever had to cope with), had some excessive room mate trouble and other financial crap, along with getting sick and working my fulltime job.

But that's life, right? I should be getting through those commissions and there are a LOT of them left- I feel extremely guilty for not having gotten them done. However, there is some silver lining. November 6 I'm moving to California to live with my best friend. Inbetween job hunting and cleaning there, in theory I should have a lot more free time to get some art done before I land a job. I'm hoping to plow through commissions and at the same time get started on a webcomic (maybe two or even three).

For those wondering about my cat Yin-Yang, she's doing very well but I'm afraid of her making that trip out to California. So I will be leaving her in my mother's care. That and I don't want to add any extra expenses to the family I'll be moving in with. (Plus, my mom misses her. Haha.)

So yes, I've been hiding out of guilt, but I'm going to try and pull myself out of that. The next couple weeks however are dedicated to cleaning out the apartment and shipping my things. Thanks for reading.
