Bitchin' Betty

It's been a while, huh? Unfortunately I haven't been doing much art, life has been exceptionally busy, however I do have some old art that I believe I never posted - expect to see some shortly. I'm a little halted on the art front, I don't have a laptop/PC that can handle my tablet, and I've been through a few phone changes so my WIPs I had on Sketchbook aren't easy to get to/work on. I know, excuses excuses. Suffice to say I'm still around! Just that my energies are being directed towards stuff other than art, unfortunately.

To those who reached out re my health - thank you so much, I'm doing much better now and life is more or less back to how it was before 😊 I hope everyone's well, take care and be kind to yourselves ❤️

I'm hoping to get some more art and writing done over the next few months. I've got some fairly major health stuff going on so it's likely I won't be working as often, which means (maybe) more time to do projects (we'll see what my energy levels are like).
