STATUS UPDATE aka. why I haven’t started posting stuff yet
Hello there!
Some of you have seen the posts I made earlier this fall about coming back on track in drawing Edna & Leonard -related stuff, and many of you have probably noticed that I’ve been unable to do that. I deeply apologize for not being able to fulfill that promise. I assure you, though, that I’m by no means about to abandon my precious children, and I truly wish to start posting here on E&L -related stuff soon.
I also apologize for being so bad at communicating about taking a break earlier. Every time I though about doing just that I found myself thinking things like “I’ll start posting soon anyway so why bother.”

So I thought that I would now tell you why exactly I haven’t been able to be active here lately. 2017 hasn’t been treating me well. At all.
Lulu, my family’s first cat had to be euthanized this spring. I hadn’t seen her in five months, and when I finally travelled to see my parents and cats I saw the condition she had fallen into. Putting Lulu down was very hard decision to make, especially since my family wasn’t fully behind it at first. The last thing I wanted was to see her suffer, so I pretty much ended up organizing the whole thing. So I went to the vet with my mom where Lulu was put down. I’m very glad she doesn’t have to suffer anymore, but I still miss her dearly.
My family has fallen into drama this fall, and now it seems it’s really going to fall apart. I won’t share the details any further, but it has been exceptionally hard to deal with since there isn’t much that I can do to make things better. Seeing my family members sad is the worst feeling ever.
Lastly, my grandpa died lately and I attended his funeral last weekend. It brought all the other negative feelings I’ve been dealing with on to surface. That’s why I finally decided to share something with you guys as well.

I have hopes of starting to post Edna & Leonard here on this blog in the near future. I’ve met so many amazing people over this blog and I really miss you guys. I miss the feeling of excitement I get from sharing my art with you!
I still have tons of plans for my thieving children. Now I just need to crawl up from my nest to do just that. I hope it will happen soon, and I will update you guys about the process <3

Meanwhile I have been drawing stuff unrelated to E&L (seriously if I didn’t draw anything I would go completely mad). I haven’t been posting it here because it is quite different from what you’re used to seeing from me. I have another blog here on tumblr, and I would be happy to share it with whoever wants to check it out.
BE WARNED THOUGH!! The blog contains M/M-relationship and NSFW-content, so if you’re not into those things (or you’re a minor) it may not be for you! But if you would like to see what I’ve been up to the last year, throw me direct message and I’ll give you the address :)

Lastly, I’ve been stalking all of you from the shadows even though I haven’t been active myself, and it still amazes me how talented and driven some of you are. Your amazing art and posts still make my day.
