Hello FA!
a year ago
Welcome to my Journal!
Hello everyone!
First of all, I want to say thank you to all the new folks that have followed me since advertising my return to this platform.
For the longest time my FA became stagnant, despite having a lot of watchers, there was little engagement with my work, it stifled my ability to create and support myself in the process. I move to Tumblr and then Twitter where my popularity and art really took off. I decided that FA was simply not worth anymore, and migrated to where the majority of my fanbase now resides. Sadly though, nothing lasts forever. Twitter was bought up by an ego maniac as part of a power trip, and in doing so has slowly begun making the platform unusable. Today even notifications and DMs have stopped working, which means people asking for commissions can't get a response, and I can't message anybody.
I also want to thank those that, despite my inactivity here, remained watching me anyway. I plan to be more active here, but for those that didn't follow me to TUmblr or Twitter, let me catch you up!
First of all, I am now a fulltime freelance cartoonist! I quit my job in April of last year, and now work full time making cartoons, it's been difficult, but I've loved every second <3
I have a boyfriend! Two years ago I came out to the world as bi, I decided to finally embrace who I really am, and in doing so, gained a wonderful partner who loves and lifts me up every day <3 There name is Tori, they are from the US and, moved to Canada to live with me. We are currently in the process of getting them Permanent Residency ~
I'm also a PR holder here Canada, this is now my home, later this year or next, I plan to apply for citizenship!
So those are the big events so far. I will be doing that thing where I spam you all with a bunch of recent artwork and then we'll be back on track to being active. I missed this place tbh and I am happy and excited to bring you all on my continued artists journey =3

FA might be a relic of the past stuck in 2006, but frankly, it's the place I get by far the most meaningful engagement on my art... mileage might vary, but even though it's old and crusty, it's still the most useful place for me by far l3 So, hopefully it will be to you, too!!
I have silently visited Twitter and even Instagram time and again. I still follow you on Tumblr!
Honsetly, I congratulate you going to Canada nd being a full-time cartoonist! I honestly believe that you certainly earned those positions!
