A little about myself (part 3) (Patreon)

And just like that, 2023 is here. I remember when I was a kid, summer was forever, and a year would last an eternity. Now, I’m fearful of that inevitable day when I look into the mirror and see someone who is 35 looking back. Ain’t it funny how all that doom and gloom is also exactly what makes life precious and meaningful?

2022 was such a transformational year for me, an absolute roller coaster with all of its ups and downs. So much happened that I feel like a small recap is needed just for my own sake.

In terms of my art and my career, I decided to make the switch from drawing all kinds of stuff to just focusing on my true passion: drawing sexy ladies. I already made a decent living before that, and I was afraid that this change would kneecap my income. Instead, the amount of support from all of you absolutely overwhelmed and ensured me that I’d made the right choice. With Patreon and Discord added to my schedule though, I also learned about the serious toll managing so many social platforms (7 in my case) can take on mental health. It’s a dangerous rabbit hole to fall down.

In terms of my health, things really took a nosedive. I finally got Covid, and I wouldn’t wish that on my worst enemy. That period was so tiring and painful I couldn’t finish a single drawing. There was even a day when I lost all sense of taste and smell, and I was so scared that this might be permanent. Everything tasted like ash and sour cream that night. You guys also already know that I cut my finger while cooking recently and had to get 3 stitches. I will never feel relaxed holding a knife again.

On a much brighter note that is my day-to-day life, I moved to another city and it has been great. It’s exactly the fresh environment that I needed to get things to feel lively again. I live in this really big condominium zone now and it has tons of cool stuff including electric buses, a small artificial beach, and so many trees! I also bit the bullet and finally bought me some great comics that I’ve always wanted to have. It feels so good every time I walk by and see them on the shelf.

Goodbye 2022, and cheers to the future, to another year of drawing lewd girls, watching great movies, and spending time with your loved ones 🍷
