Some unfortunate news (Patreon)

From the moment I put in my two weeks notice, for the first time I felt like I was free. Genuinely free. Never had I felt so...secure, so loved  and protected especially during a time I didn't know if I was going to  be shot on shift or some other terrible thing.

Even when my car got stolen, dealt with health issues, and continued to  better myself when my mind kept pushing me and pushing me with one poor  thought after the next. "You're not doing enough. You're not giving  enough. You're growing worse as an artist and person."....but I felt  free.

I never thought I would make it to where I have been. Being able to work  on art full time. I never thought I'd start working on multiple comics  at the same time or exploding with one new idea after the next with some  days sketching over six or more entire potential stories. Like the well  couldn't run dry. It still hasn't.

It has been a blessing being given that time and freedom to do what I  have. And it came with a price of my hands suffering. And so I am trying  to find that time to heal, to strengthen what I can in my hands because  I'll never afford surgery if that's the option. And that too has come  with a price.

At this moment I'm not sure what is going to happen. The art isn't going to stop but I don't know if this can be turned around or what kind of job awaits me. No matter what, I want you dears to know how much I appreciate you for everything you've given me. Your words, your time, your kindness, and your sincerity. 

I'll continue to upload work to the best of my ability and strive as always to do right by you dears for there is much to be grateful for and much more to give back. I hope you can understand and have patience with me though if I begin working again. You've kept me going all these years and I have nothing but gratitude.
