So many social media to Upload, Update, and Upgrade...

I have not posted anything new to my Instagram account since New Year's. 

I decided to give my phone a break and had looked up last year how to post to IG from a computer and can I say the directions and steps were RIDICULOUS. 

I don't know what kind of nonsense Instagram is trying to pull, but I just posted four new pieces of artwork I did during the week of Christmas. 

And I didn't even have to do a third of the steps Instagram posted on their official page. Maybe some IG employee is trolling but I got those done. There are still more but most of the latest have been posted.

Also, DeviantArt upped their already A-Game to an A+. It is SO MUCH SMOOTHER to upload to the DA account and the old way was actually nice...

Blogs have been updated, website needs a new host and upgrade, will soon post new art prints to Gumroad, and there are a few online subscriptions that need canceling or I roll them back to free. 

Anyhoo, I'm working on some personal paperwork and trying to make some big changes to my social media and freelance work for 2022. Make sure you keep an eye out and I'll try to stay in touch.

PEACE, Dear Readers.

I wish my readers a belated NEW YEAR'S

A disturbing start to the New Year, which I can't add the appellation 'Happy' this time. 

I DO want to say that I've gotten the ball rolling on purchasing art supplies every few weeks. 

I may be starting the next chapter in my life just as I'm doing with my stories and artwork. 

2020 was a godforsaken and awful year but it brought a lot of lessons with tears and now I'm ready to apply what was learned.

Let us explore 2021 together!

I Finished INKTOBER 2019

The last day for Inktober was yesterday, Halloween, All Hallow's Eve, or Samhain... And I feel--incredibly sad. 

I'm not sure why, but since I started to participate with Inktober 2016, this was my first year following the prompts. One year, I just drew what I wanted. 

Another year, I practiced urban and interior settings by doing progressions: one day for pencils, the next day, inks, and the third day of the piece would be coloring. 

But now, with the final being a totally cartoonish piece and the last day, I think I grow more as an artist every Inktober. 

This year is particularly poignant because I'm working on outlines and clear goals for where I want to take my writings and my art. From sibling's suggestions, to parent's encouragement, as well as a random stranger on Twitter, I beginning to get a sense of what I want to present to the world as well as how to market it. 

I have had better luck with my writings and how that may go but I have often struggled with my artwork, which has actually been longer with me than the writing. 

Perhaps I'm so close to it that I felt I couldn't release it. And perhaps that's the reason I'm feeling bittersweet... It's time. I finally know what I must do. 

NOTE: As with everything, I will update on website, blogs, and other social media platforms I'm on. And, as always, take care Dear Readers.
