Hey, everyone! I hope you're doing well and are having a lovely holiday season so far!

I've talked about it on my twitter a bit, but never really here. For the past few months I've been dealing with hand issues. I found out probably a month or so ago that I have, thankfully very mild, carpal tunnel. Most days have been alright, but in the last two weeks or so the pain in my dominant hand has gotten quite bad. Holding a toothbrush, a pen, my phone. It all causes pain. Needless to say, it's been a bit of a challenge getting much drawing done. Recently I've only been able to draw for maybe ten minutes at a time before I have to throw in the towel.

I discussed options with my doctor today, and we decided that instead of going straight to surgery (which initially seemed like the next course of action), that it might be good to give physical therapy a shot first. The hand surgeon seems optimistic that therapy will help so Im hoping it all goes well

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to put a pause on the poll illustrations for right now. Im REALLY hoping that I can get into therapy within the next week or two. For right now though, Im going to be sharing some things that I either never finished or scrapped, and any other small doodles I can manage (though they may be done with my left hand so be prepared for some questionable stuff lol)

I can't thank you guys enough for your support. My mental and physical health are not the best (but they're far from the worst!) and I know that they affect my output. Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you guys for supporting me. It truly means so much to me. I'll do my best to get better quickly so that I can get drawing again soon!!

Take care!! And if you're drawing, STRETCH STRETCH STRETCH before you get to the point I'm at. It's extremely important! Ya know what. Stretch if you don't draw, too. It's good for you.
