So....yeh...Things have been occuring recently (like for the past year) at a rate that is making my head spin.

~Applying for jobs (market is just not hiring or looking for someone with more experience.)

~Decided to forfit sanity for finacial reasons and moved back home. I am now concidered free labor to "roommates"

~Had several projects (all non art related) that have taken up a significant amount of time and have been labor intensive (like helping turn my parent's rental house around in 2 weeks)

~Getting a small studio space set up so I no longer am drawing on the couch with half a coffee table for work space.

But it's getting there. I suppose it always has to get worse before it gets better. Moving back home was a blow to the pride, and I'm still working temp jobs that are unconsistant in their work so money's been extreamly tight if it exists at all.

Otakon was good, it was great to catch up with people, even if it was only in passing. Birthday was fun, small and quiet but I got to drag my family to a vegetarian Resturant! For once I was able to order from the whole menu. ^__^

Now it's catch up with commissions and working on a big illustration project for a guy in London. He's been incredibly flexible and patient with me, I really hope I do well!
