Best Wishes for 2018

.. or as I like to call it, 12018 of the Human Era (Kudos, Kuzgesagt! Video )

I wish you a year filled with love and kindness - not only to others but also to yourself, dear reader. Understanding can go a a long way, and so does kindness. That you do something that makes you smile just for the hell of it. Look after yourself and those you love - forgive your own shortcomings and understand no one is in this world to be perfect - and that’s alright. 

I wish sometime this year you can feel truly happy for being the amazing person you are, whoever you are.

Theme Changes!

I will be changing and adjusting my theme in the next few days until I find something that suits me (maybe during hospital time so to put to good use?). Right now small changes will appear here and there as, new pictures or colors... hopefully I’ll find the right combination sooner than later. Eep! :’D recommendations and suggestions are welcome!

And yes... changing Icon will be a thing after... years :’D

Wonderful start of the week...

... not.

... Cintiq having dead pixel issues (yep, even the new model they sent me after they replaced the original one because of.... dead pixels) and Wacom being silent about it...

... Gallbladder being swollen and making me return to bed rest for the next five to ten days, standing between “it will calm down” or “run to the hospital as fast as you can and take your bag with you” status... “but it is probably stress so please take it easy”...

... I swear between this and a lot of emotional stress these last six months due to friend and family reasons... I need a break. I need some good thoughts and good reads and good vibes.

So if you feel like sharing good things and positive emotions, feel free to leave them my way. I will wholeheartedly appreciate it.

I had some amazing highlights this year. And also some very sucky moments: but these last six months have been too much. 

Thank you for reading this, if you did, and for letting me vent a little bit.

Cheers!

Thank you all for your birthday wishes, notes, gifts and kind words... you know who you are. I've had the very first birthday with smiles from beginning to end in years. Some of you remember what it was for me in the past so - I am incredibly thankful for these feelings. And for having such amazing friends and people in my life.  <3 I'm so so thankful to all of you. From the bottom of my heart  - all the love, hugs and positivism back at you all.

Cheers!

Ouch

I hope everyone is alright and having a wonderful day / week so far. Sadly, I cannot really say the same, as spring cleaning made my back hurt again... the not so good kind of pain at that. I expect it to be in bed at least until Friday / Saturday so... that is a downer :/ So... don’t expect many uploads from me in the next days. Oh well.

I wish you all the best and, go enjoy the sun! :3

Updates and Delayed with Commissions for a bit

Hey there guys. i hope you’re alright! 

Just a quick headsup for the last September slots. Given I am now in bed rest due to my back, I will be delayed in getting back to your slots if for a few days, at least until the area stops being swollen and i can walk again.

While little Poe does not pull when walking, he is very fond of jumping around his leash and biting it and all these unstable movements are damaging my back further. My PE Trainer has suggested I do not walk him until he has learnt how to behave. Waking up today unable to walk again has made me have to comply even if it makes me feel ilke the worst puppy owner ever.

Thank you for the understanding!

On Ghosting Artists

Just a quick reminder for fellow artists / coworkers: do not ever ghost away or  don’t reply to interested commissioners because “you forgot” or not take their requests seriously. This also goes for Art Trading with fellow artists as well.  A week is fine, a month is fine, six months is fine so long you keep people updated -  if you’re ignoring your commissioners requests because you can’t organize or prioritize your schedule and life or are bad at communicating you’re unable to take slots, that is just poor professionalism. They are willing to pay for something they want from you, the least you can do is take them seriously. A quick email / headsup about “being delayed” is perfectly fine but please, treat your commissions and commissioners with respect.

Commission Artists and Freelancing is hard. Do a service to yourself and your fellow Artists by taking commissions and commissioners seriously.

RL Update

Hello Tumblr people! I hope you guys are alright! Sorry I’ve been rather quiet lately.

I’ve spent the last week and something in bed resting my back, which is still a damned mess. I can’t sleep properly, I can’t really do a lot to begin with. And to top this I wont be able to visit my family this year (yet again) due to it, which I think its what gotten me the most sad lately. I know recovering will take time, as it usually does. The appointment with the specialized orthopedist will take time as the place is rather booked out as well. Last time I went, my back was great and I had made a full recovery. Then a week of bad beds and airplane happened. I miss my family, I miss drawing, and I miss feeling useful. Alas. Sorry for the rant. I had to let it out of the system.

Now with all the love I can muster to you ppl. please, please - look after your backs. Stretch a lot, sit properly. And if you are having pains - already, it happens. It will get better.

Love and positivity for you all! <3
