I’ve been caught in a loop of trying to make progress on my queue of commission work while trying to make enough money on the side for daily expenses, and doing that while managing my current mental health issues and unmedicated ADHD has admittedly been challenging. I’ve not been able to make much money because my energy is mostly being spent playing catch-up with old owed art.

I’ve been working to put together a GFM campaign to get myself out of my current living situation— I’ve been writing up stuff for it for a while now and the process of doing that and compiling evidence has been emotionally exhausting on top of everything else. I am at odds with my family and prefer to rely on and seek help from them as little as possible if I can help it.

I’m working on trying to figure out alternative, more profitable ways to monetize my art. Additionally, I am studying to get my GED diploma (I’m a dropout) so I can plan to seek more stable, non-art-related, better-paying employment in the future for my main income— and so I don’t need to ask for help like this as often going forward. I’ll also likely be reopening my print/merch store and soon opening a Patreon so you all can directly support my art on the basis of actually getting something in return.

Until I’m able to do all this, anything helps. I hope I can keep my head above water and that I can make art consistently again to make it worth people’s while to support what I’m doing.
