Hello all!
I hope you are doing well in these interesting times. It has been a while, so I thought I’d make a quick journal with some personal updates.
Rebuilding my website.
First, with the uncertainty around social media and sites like FA and Twitter I’ve decided I wanted a more permanent place to have my art. So the last few weeks I’ve been working on rebuilding my website. Still quite a way to go there though. Part of it is I’m going to be re-uploading just about all my (sfw) stuff I possibly can so I can have a more permanent archive. But with 11 years of art it is quite a challenge to even find and catalog it all. But it should be a good primary home for my art and comics. Will have tag filters, search tools, RSS feeds, and all posts will have comment sections. After that I will have FurAffinity and BlueSky as my other 2 main places to post (with IB and mastodon as their respective mirrors.) When the rebuilt website is done I’ll go into more detail about it!
Unpublishing my Patreon.
Kind of related, but I’ve shut down my Patreon for now, possibly permanently. I don’t think that kind of thing vibes with what I want moving forward. Probably going to move towards something more lightweight and less cumbersome, like just Ko-fi donations. Probably a simple subscription there like for WIPs, timelapses, and voting on future drawings. It depends on whether I get in a good rhythm with posting or not. With a day job it kind of takes away from the dire need to make money with this stuff so for now my Ko-fi will be there for donations.
Drawing update.
Drawing wise I’ve still been moving along on my ref sheets and comics projects. Slower than I wanted as usual haha. But I’m starting to get a bit sick of working on just that, so I’ve started working on some other stuff like the drawing I posted a while back and sketches. Still have other stuff previously mentioned that I’ve still yet to post (but they are getting a bit old at this point.) Looking through and cataloging all my previous art has made me kind of realize aspects I’ve lost and have been missing out on. Kind of been inspiring me in a way.
Personal update.
Not super into sharing personal updates anymore but I will add that I’ve been taking college courses and playing with the idea of going for a degree (online sort of thing) while working full time lol. Nothing decided yet but if I did that it would take quite a bit of free time away obviously. That said I’m still doing art but gotta find a balance between my work life and this art stuff which is now a hobby. It pains me to take time away from drawing art, but it might be for the best in this case haha. A temporary time investment.
Thanks for reading!

I like the idea of just Kofi and such for supporting a great artist. And the personal stuff, it's ALL the right move.
In these times, seeing an optimistic plan like this is a lot of encouragement.
So long as things are going well for you, I'm happy ;)
Pawsome idea with the site!
Wish you all the best!
