This is going to sound corny (and perhaps inappropriate considering the image) but I'm really grateful that I get to do what I do, and that I still get to do it. I know this won't last forever. At some point circumstances will change, and I'll either need to get a real job, or I'll need to really step up my skills to stay relevant, but I'm grateful for the time you've all given me. I've gotten to live a life where my job is the thing I love. Most people never get that. Like 'true love,' I think it's a really rare thing. Thinking about it now, I feel really guilty for every time I've burned-out, or lost my patience with a client who wanted something that I didn't want to draw. I need to check myself. All of this could be gone in an instant. I could get banned from patreon, or killed in an accident, or my arm could get cut off in an accident. Shit like that has been happening to people around me, and it makes what problems I have seem trivial. I'm grateful that I got this time to do what I love. Drawing Disney porn. 

In other news, I should have anther page of the Ladybug comic done tonight. I really am going to finish it, even if I have to cut out the small Vulpina sub-plot that I built up in my imagination.

Nice job dude, we all have times we've "lost our cool" But you got it back just keep on drawing the cool stuff man.

You got this Mark, best of luck to you. You have come a long way man, I've been following since way back, like 2010 or something... You're one of the greats, just keep being you. Glad you rediscovered your drive, is that the best way to put it... Idw to sound like a douche... Regardless, looking forward to seeing you unleash on some art man.

Being corny is underrated Ps congratulations on patreon fixing the payment problem

Krash & Fabs

I hope you keep it up for a looooong time! Love when your pieces have that light-hearted humor, like this one! :)

Great image, and thanks to you, hope you keep it going for a long time.

Your art is awesome man, I don't support too many artists (I'm mostly here for games) but since the first picture I saw of yours (the one with hook) I felt a need to give at least a little.

Be yourself and just cruise dude, not many of us get the chance to enjoy life as much as others but it dont mean we can't go along with the ride and support each other. You enjoy art that is freaking sweet and that you can do it whenever you want and get paid, doubly awesome, forget the future mentally and be happy in the now cause believe me we love it just as much as you love drawing it.

Not to be that guy (aka the asshole) but you were really depressed and idk, listless? a month ago and now you are grateful and arguably euphoric. are you sure this isn't manic-depression?

I was sure they would. Patreon is like the YouTube of crowd-funding now. If it crashed I think it could take down the entire industry with it, and it would be a while before another platform replaced it.

I haven't wanted to consider it, but maybe. For what it's worth, I wouldn't call my recent mood 'euphoric' though. It's been more of a creeping anxiety, and that emotion always causes me to latch onto whatever things I have. I end up calling all my relatives and stuff. That could be part of a cycle though.

Thanks! I been asked about teaming up with a game-designer to make one of those point-and-click dating games, but I've been very bad about long-term projects. I'm hoping to coast on just my art for as long as possible.
