Hi. It's been a while, sorry. I'm really really bad at writing! And I feel like I don't have much to write about. Just working and being tired mostly. A billion things are happening irl this year so haven't drawn in a sec.

Let's get the main subject of the blog out of the way.


I attended Mattarikon again yesterday! And had my second Artist Alley table! Bought a wire grid. Actually printed my stuff at home this time because I've had a photo printer lying around for years I should've done that in the first place. I had a good time! I sold more than last time, made the spendings for this round back. My tabling neighbors were all very friendly and we talked a bunch and I learned a lot about other events and suppliers and tools other people use.

So I think I'm gonna keep doing Artist Alley. Hobby pivot! It's a good motivator, I've had fun, just attending small events and doing my best. For next time I'm going to look into pins and or stickers to expand my dinky selection so I guess I'm gonna be drawing that. I should start drawing more so I can actually accomplish that!!! Gotta stop being tired!!!!

But before more tabling I've got even more irl stuff coming up. Attending a wedding and prepping for that, moving, got a big friend trip thing. Work continues to be crazy and knocking me out but the pay is good and I have work can you imagine actually having work in this economy I gotta keep doing it. Gonna do my best to keep drawing between all that stuff but the Artist Alley motivator is reeeeeally good for getting me to do that. Life is really hard have you seen what's happening in life recently you gotta keep hold of any motivators you can find.

I talk about media I've enjoyed in these things right?? It's been like half a year since the last one and I don't know what I've been doing... But I need to tell all 2 people reading this blog post to check out the video game After School Afterlife. It came out near the beginning of this year, I'd had my eyes on it for a while prerelease, and it even exceeded my expectations I had such a great time with it I absolutely loved it. Go buy and play After School Afterlife on itch and then buy it on Steam and leave a Steam review. Kickass game.

Until next time!
