It's AD's birthday today, happy birthday big guy.

I haven't forgotten, I'm just not in the shape to do anything. No scanner, no drawing software or tablet, not a whole lot of time... I'm sorry it turned out like this. I really want to keep going.

It's the anniversary again and I am NOT in a shape to even think of a comic so I'm going to just wish the Dąbrowski household a lot of pleasant and memorable moments together.

Krowa the cat is very loved as well, just thought I'd remind you about him. He and AD are inseparable, he clearly has a fave.

I've had AD for 15 years.

We are both embarrassed of this old edgy portrait of him, but I do appreciate both the 'elaborate' background splash and stylish shading :P

I drew my idiots again

What is this style? we just don't know.

14 years together!

Today was Johann's 41st birthday!

He's doing ok, they're both healthy and the cat has settled with them for good. Life in Poland is a mess, everything got massively more expensive and sometimes it's hard to get out of bed but I'm sure other places aren't that much better...

I don't have art for the occasion but I did sketch out a little comic a while ago. The thing is, posting art online is hard these days. I don't even know where to begin. I lost a lot of confidence and simply don't know where to turn to feel better. My socials don't bring me any kind of joy or fulfillment. I'm a boring person and a bad artist :U

Happy birthday, AD!

As some of you may know, at the beginning of this year I lost my dear pet. I always thought if I ended up giving boys an animal companion, it would be a dog but... I'm afraid this would be a triggering experience for me. So instead, a kitty joined the family (through adoption) and it's going to live a long and healthy life with AD and Johann.

AD was very apprehensive but you know... cats be cute as heck. I think they'll be besties.

Cat is male and the working name is Krowa ("Cow") but I'm still open to suggestions.

some just... tmi kinda life events. 

Hello, again long time no see. My country is entering another lockdown and I’ve been home this week, another 3+ are to follow. I’m both relieved because less stress, but also I don’t really like being at home since January. 

I’ve been feeling quite sick for the last month or so. My heart’s been giving me trouble, my sense of smell and taste has changed because of covid and I can’t eat any dairy or drink coffee (which just so happens to be all of my favourite food, rip). I had some tests this week but according to my results, I’m perfectly healthy. I went to the shrink for the first time in years and I got meds again, hoping it might help a little. I’m supposed to go to a therapist as well but I’m not really interested. 

I’m really behind with my job. I’m scared that I won’t be able to catch up and I have a little over a month to do so but I barely have energy to do the daily tasks. It’s a mess.

I’m trying to draw semi-daily but with all the low energy days it hasn’t been going that well. I don’t really have anything to show other than mindless doodles. I miss being able to put ideas together. Thinking is hard.

I did that thing I do every year… I think this one is better than the last, but not as good as 2019′s.

It’s been so long holy shit…!

[addontdieonme]

It is back.

it’s the 5th of February, let’s rejoice. 13 years of domestic togetherness.

Johan used to really stress out before his birthdays because he always felt like he hasn’t accomplished enough in time and every year means less opportunities to have fun and be relevant. 

Lately however it’s been way more chill and cozy during his birthdays so maybe he finally grew up to just accept that age is just a number... 

(I planned something grander for his 40th but you know, life doesn’t really take your plans into consideration. And honestly, maybe that matches his new approach more. 38, 40 or 45, only you know what you’ve been through and how much you grew. I want to believe that).

[addontdieonme]

Hello. Happy New Year.

As some of you may know something happened in my life recently that has dealt a serious blow to my last ounce of productivity and will to live. I’m trying to build my life back up again after my routine fell apart but so far I haven’t felt like creating at all (while some may argue it can be therapeutic, the stress of sharing art and thoughts have shown time and time again to be very exhausting).

I will push myself to at very least acknowledge Johan’s birthday and upcoming anniversary but the thought of birthdays and celebration is not really something on my mind these days.

Please forgive me and stay safe.

Hello, hope your winter holidays are all nice and safe and cozy. 

[addontdieonme]

I am in this picture and I don’t like it

How’s your pre-holiday mood? 

[addontdieonme]

just some sad gays in this god forsaken country :c

[addontdieonme]

I did it, woo

Johan what did you do, AD looks pissed.

I want to draw more before work comes back rolling into my life. I also need a break from historical clothing, let me draw some jeans and tshirts u__u;

[addontdieonme]

hello,

still trying to get better, still coughing a lot. 

I drew this AD but I think he needs company. I don’t really feel well enough to go on so let’s just have this fella for now.
