I quit my job so I'll be taking a few commissions while I'm in the awkward "looking for the right fit" phase. I don't normally talk about my personal life but I think it's worth explaining what happened given my public statements that I wouldn't be taking commissions anymore due to mental health issues. For context I worked with Goodwill at the donation door but very quickly was promoted to being a Team Leader (basically a manager but I don't do anything regarding hiring). I was very happy with my job until we got a new regional manager. Our store was just starting to get back on it's feet after years of being short staffed but this growth wasn't good enough for them. The new regional manager was strictly enforcing production goals, a lot moreso then the person previously in their position.

Since most probably don't know the inner workings of Goodwill, the expectation is to produce 60 items an hour. Even seasoned producers can't accomplish without putting out things like chipped plates or torn clothes. Previously it was treated as something to shoot for in the best case scenario but the shift we were being put through was this lofty number becoming the bare minimum expectation. More production means the company makes more money and I'm sure anyone can see where that leads to. This regional manager in particular began to ridicule us during meetings and make threats to cut hours over not meeting these numbers. Being even 0.05% short on our store goals was met with vivid anger and increasingly I was pushed to correct this shortage since I was a manager. I recognize we live in a capitalist society and I'm sure plenty of people would tell me to have seen this coming- but actually being asked to crack down on my 60+ year old coworkers and those with serious mental health problems to go beyond human limits was too much for me. I'm too compassionate and so I gave my letter of resignation only a few weeks after my promotion which included how I personally felt about the situation and the direction our particular region was being taken. It included stating the blatant disregard for the non profit companies supposed values and how the stress affected me. I had lost 10 pounds in a short amount of time from it and was spending almost every night crying myself to sleep. I shared it with a few people because they asked to see it. I was loved and adored by every single person there, including my assistant managers and store managers. They read it, talked about it, and word spread very quickly that I was quitting directly because of the actions of my regional manager. My letter of resignation was apparently so problematic not only was I let go only a few days after putting it in, I have been blacklisted from applying to any Goodwill for essentially... attempting to unionize my coworkers. I was told by the regional manager to either "stop spreading slander" or leave my keys on the desk. They explained in depth how the numbers are actually not that strictly enforced. How expectations are actually pretty reasonable and they can't imagine how I got the idea that low production numbers were being used threaten people! People with severe physical and mental limitations. Oh woe was the regional manager, they told me my words were making things feel hostile for them and they didn't appreciate how I twisted the facts against them. Needless to say, I left my keys on the desk. I had done all that I could anyway and I know I'm replaceable. Really gives me some fire to work on my comic at least and I'm glad I gave the company the best middle finger I could. Anyway, that's why I'm open for commissions now!

2. What movie have you watched most recently? What did you think of it?

13. what's something you learned recently?

17. do you believe in luck and superstition? Do you carry any lucky items or follow any lucky rules?

Hiiiiiiii Bull :)

2. Zootopia 2 because I as curious and it was doo doo ass. Instead I WILL yell about a most recent comic I read which I would reccomend which is Desert Birds illustrated by Jackarais and written by Forrest Storrs. For just a 26 page comic it has so much story to it- and it prominently features vultures which I know you love :)

13. How to paint with acrylics! I'm mostly a watercolor artist, but only recently did I undestand what people meant by "building up" acrylics and it kind of hit that it is plastic and you can layer them to get texture. It's finally been fun to paint with instead of the struggle I've been having!

17. I absolutely do though surprisingly I don't have a lucky item I carry on me- some things I do though is throw salt over my shoulder if I spill it, always go back in the same door I went out of (or I'll leave luck in the doorway), or knock on wood for luck. I also wish on cat whiskers or Penny's I find face-up so you could say I am fairly superstitious hfhfg.

Hi!! For the ask meme (doing my part to revive ask culture here!! 🫡): number 11!! What music is stuck in yr head lately?

Hello!! Thanks for the ask :) This morning while making breakfast it was Holding Hands by The Magic Lantern!! Kind of somber and lovely?

[stitchy-face]

for the ask game: 8, 15, 19 (in my dreams 19 includes drawing but actually i think it's a fun question for artists, what's your 2nd pick for communication if visual wasn't one)

8. favorite month of the year and why? I think June wins it out- Cicada in the morning, firefly and crickets at night. It's the perfect warm mornings mixed with cool evenings, rolling storms, equal blend of warm and cool days both. There's a lot to love :)

15. What's a piece of advice you find yourself giving a lot? Mostly to other people to freelance and it is to take a day off- or if you somehow can't, keep a strict working schedule. At least personally I find if I just keep working until I go to bed there's a bell curve of productivity and "making good art" that significantly nosedives around 9pm. It's better to realize you just need to stop for the day than it is to just cram in a few more hours of work especially if it means the work will suffer from it.

19. Write, type, or speak? Oh HO that's a good one. I think barring visual it would be writing- probaby because a lot of my writing involves comics so in my mind they go fairly hand-in-hand but if I could not tell stories through art I'd tell them through writing instead and barring that speak it like some sort of Epic.

From the ask game!
