And my Truths are Made in Fantasies...

This werewolf commands astral bodies and the alchemic dualities of human-hood, beast-hood, and transgender expression. 🌕 🌟 ☀️ ----- It's available as a print that you can buy (if you live in the US). ko-fi.com/s/2d61ab077a

Cozy fall vibes for all the werewolves out there. This is a block print! Small 4x6in block. I haven't made an edition yet, but I did experiment with a couple of hand colored prints. It was really fun! I might do more.

I just want to put it out there that I've been really humbled by the folks who have stopped by in my little sliver of the internet and left kind words and encouragement. I have not really been drawing much at all for months now. So all that kindness has been especially precious to me. I want to say thank you. I have challenges in the way of me making art. I still have some emotional weight of major burnout, which I think is recovering very well, but I am still not what I once was. I started a new career a year ago. That career has been very demanding. That career demands a lot of material prep and time. As time marches on that demand for prep and time will lessen…

But for the present future, that career change is still going to demand a lot of my resources. Sometimes I find out I only have free time at the last hour of the day. Other times I'm too tired to apply myself to making something.

I think I say this because my goal is, and has been, to make a comic happen. But I don't think my work/life balance is in a good place for that right now. Even if I can't manage comics right now, I do want to make the time to paint and apply my creativity in other artistic endeavors.

So what time I can find, I must selfishly give to whatever is going to make me feel happy.

I should probably be less perfectionist. I still sketch, but sometimes they are so rough and incomplete because I had so little time to make it happen. Maybe I'm afraid if I show people all the messy stuff they'll leave.

But you guys, it makes me so happy when I see people like, follow, or leave a comment. And I look at the stuff on their account and I'm like, ah ha!

There's the person who likes gothic stuff, there's the wolf folks, that one person who's posted nothing but werewolves, the vampire obsessed, the fantasy lovers, and someone who really loves dragons. ALL the LGBTQ folks who see my trans, nonbinary OCs and are like, yeah I gotta keep tabs on that.

You are all so cool and lovely and I hope I can have the time and energy to share all my wonderful visions in my head with you. Truly, from my heart, you are the people I believe in the most.

I'm still feeling down and saw a screenshot of my old middle/high school OC in my desktop files. So I was like, why not. Let's see the glow up!
