Pose challenge I saw on Facebook. Had to use an original character and replicate the pose given.

Starting to love drawing again. It feels great to be inspired and driven to sit down and create art. I'll draw men eventually, I promise, just really digging the fact my women are getting better.

FirebirdJP is back... Thank you to all my friends that are excited for my return to the gas mask collector community. And I would really like to thank all the people who didn't want me to pursue the hobby again. Your doubt and negativity fuel me. FirebirdJP and the FirebirdJP collection will be better than ever, and I hope that you all will join me down the path of rebuilding.

Old Habits Never Die

Rebuilding will not be easy, but I want to share it all with you again. https://www.facebook.com/firebirdjpyoutube/

Guess who’s back?

I can finally say that I’m gaining my happiness and health back. It was a weird transition, but I’m getting myself back to my old-self, and doing things that really make me happy. 

Getting back into the gas mask collecting game (Shh... it’s not official yet) is the biggest thing that has helped me. I am so happy to get back into a hobby I loved with all my heart. I gave myself excuses on why I stopped, or tried to appease others. I don’t regret selling most my collection, I’m actually even more excited to rebuild, and hopefully have an even more impressive collection!

I am also enjoying my job more, and finally eating full meals again. I would only eat 1 meal a day and now it’s to two meals a day (still working on three...) And I cannot wait to skate my ass off this season.
