Old one from 2020 I never posted. I'm going through my art folder, reflecting on how little digital work I've done in the last 4 years.
Now that I live in Chicago I rarely spend time on the computer. I suppose now that it's winter time I may be here more. I'd like to start drawing again but it's taken a backseat for a few years now.
Lately I have been working on myself. I'm a lot less anxious than I was, way more confident. I'm also more emotionally mature, more spiritually attuned and overall doing leaps and bounds better than I ever have been.
I've been working at a pottery place, and helping some older ladies clean and organize in their high rise condominiums. I also work for an abstract artist as an assistant, I'm part of a woman's spirituality group, and I have an amazing group of very talented friends. Chicago is amazing, it's breathed life into my existence like nothing has before. There's limitless opportunities and possibilities here for artists.
I guess I wanted to lay this stuff out just to say..I am still here. I am doing well. Back in 2019-2021 I really wasn't doing great at all. My Dad had just died, I was in some really toxic situationships (friends and romantic). The opportunity came to change my entire life and I took it without a second thought. I knew it was right, even though it was a big scary change. It paid off. Sometimes the risk is worth it in ways you could never have foreseen.
I'm still making art, though I'm not really sure where I stand with commissions right now. I'd like to post more personal stuff here if its not too cringe.
I hope everyone reading this is doing well.
