After the Convention:

The long and yet short feeling weekend at the MCFC convention as a handler is over. Most of it went as smoothly as possible, but weather was not nice on pretty much all the days. We also even had a tornado warning on the last day, but it does appear that despite the severity of the storm that came through, damage was minimal in our area and on our way home. 
I was not able to table at this convention for various reasons but will aim to do so next year. That being said, I will be putting up on some unique Art Cards I made for if I had tabled and those will be up in my Ko-fi shop, so be sure to look out for them. They will require a mailing address as these are traditional art pieces, not prints! 

I was the handler for this silly big manokit dork, so be sure to check out they're Bluesky Social. I'll make sure to they post more updates and pictures from the convention as well.

With April just around the corner now, I am also preparing for the new month and the aim of $200 once again. While I don't expect much to sell from the shop itself, I do hope to at least sell some and up and coming YCHs to help cover costs. I have also been a bit more diligent in posting videos once more but still is slow to get back into doing them properly. Little bit at a time as they say. 

Thank you for everyone's support and patience!

Make Up Your Mind Weather!:

I mean that seriously! This past Friday, it was so warm, I was gardening outside with a teeshirt and still sweating just pulling weeds and prepping the garden patch for planting next month. Then, the weekend was filled with high winds, a couple okay storms and now we're back to snow and frozen temperatures as if that burst of heat never happened XD

I did discover that my hyacinths have survived this rather cold winter once more and so have a few of the pansies, but it does look like the large batch of pansies I had the past couple years has been near entirely wiped out thanks to weeds that popped up in late autumn last year. I do plan on planting lupine this year though and a few more sunflowers for the birds. It did seem to help quite a bit in keeping them for devouring the garden and leaving my vegetables alone.

Other than that, I'm still prepping a few last minute convention things and hopefully by the time I get there in about 2 weeks now, I'll be all ready to go. I definitely do expect to stumble and be very clumsy over the whole thing but practice makes perfect as they say. 

Still running a little short on funds this month, but who knows I may be able to make it up at the end of the month. It is pretty close and as discussed with current merch tier patrons on my Patreon, we've come to a happy and pleasing resolution due to me not being able to afford all the usual merch.

These last 2 YCHs are still also available from this month's YCH batch if you're interested. 

Feel free to contact me via any of my socials or email if you're interested. Payment is either Ko-fi or Paypal only.

Thank you for everyone's support and patience!

Slow Going But Going:

With the temperatures back to rising up again, I have started walking the dogs once more in the morning. Getting that nice early morning sunshine and it's been pretty good. Still have quite a bit of work to do and still working on the catching up of it all, but I am making progress. Comic pages are currently just barely staying up to date, but I am managing them thus far with work as well. It will be another busy month and it's already day 10... part of that realization alone is a bit scary. I had hoped to have more cleared and done by today, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Patreon will also be updating soon as well. I've been working on some videos again too. Nothing too fancy and some broken down into shorts rather than long videos so I do hope it all ends up working out in the end as I go through it all. Bit by bit as they say. I should have the rest of the Sketches and WIPs ready real soon too since I held off on that. 

Lastly, this month's YCHs were released today and Patrons have nabbed up 3 of them already so there's only these 2 left, but who knows, someone may like them yeah? The little rodent was on a whim and it doesn't have to be a rat. 

Feel free to contact me via any of my socials or email if you're interested. Payment is either Ko-fi or Paypal only.

That sums up things for now and off I go this week to see how much I can get done. Good luck!

Thank you for everyone's support and patience!

Starting Fresh:

Before I get started, if you'd like to see the SPICY side of my artwork, from patron rewards to Parallel Rift universe OCs, be sure to become Patron and sign up to my Discord server. It's the only place I have my NSFW artworks!

Now, with a new month, I am back to using previous journaling methods to keep track of goals and endeavors. This method has proven to be the strongest in the past and after falling behind as I have thus far, this method appears to have proven to me that it is the most reliable to pull me out of these situations. And to prevent them from happening again. Of course, this journaling method doesn't always account for sudden changes but other than those situations, it will work out. I am to return to my productive self as I was at the start of 2024 where I was ahead for a solid 4 months! Record really.

The goal for this month is to once again, earn $200 usd. If you'd like a commission or simply to donate without perks from Patreon, be sure to check out my Ko-fi Commission offers for the latest deals, YCHs, and general character commissions. As a reminder, Patrons do take priority over other commissions so if you want to push yourself to the top of the list, be sure to check out Patreon first. If you have any questions or concerns, you are welcome to check out my Discord Server for updates and progress on current works, comic updates, and other life related updates. 

Alrighty, now that that's over, this past week has already shown progress in catching up to the list. Just a few more things to conclude and I'll be right back on track! My mum has also picked up her dog so I don't have the clingy lady stuck to me anymore either. I am hoping that with some hard work and pushing to my max a bit for the next couple weeks, I'll be able to either be on top of everything or even ahead once more. We shall see!

Thank you for everyone's support and patience!

Fire Festival and Dog Sitting:

This past week, we went to a nordic fire festival, which was a lot of fun. It wasn't huge like the Renaissance Festival we attend more in the autumn, but it was still worth it. There were plenty of wares to peruse, music, bonfire, and of course, my favorite, some weapon tournaments. It was only for this past weekend.

Now...starting off this week with dog sitting for my mum. Her dog Zoe will be staying with us for a few days so she can have a momentary break and figure out how to fix her computer after it was hacked. She's also been receiving some rather threatening emails from the hackers I assume, but don't know for certain, so ... yeah, fun way to end February hmmm....

In other news, I'm largely on deep work focus mode. Missing merch this month as well so will double up again in March to make it up. Wasn't my intent, but things just ended up spiraling a bit out of control and I did have a small existential crisis and winter blues mixed in. Not the best of combos, but after finally getting out a bit, I do feel largely better and ready to get down to the nitty gritty.

Thank you for everyone's support and patience!

Winter Ensues:

Nothing new to really report XD

We were supposed to have a huge snowstorm but it largely fizzled out. We still have plenty of snow but the actual harshness of a storm never truly hit. Just on and off snowing. Dogs love it though. I....not so much. I prefer warmer weather and green plants.

Anyway though, I have lots of work to do and have most likely fallen behind a tad, but still going to try to do as much as I can! I've also livestreamed a bit last week, and when time permits, will be setting up some videos again. So far, I'm definitely meeting my monthly goals in other areas, so now just time to catch up with the art itself.

Thank you for everyone's support and patience!
