Hiya folks

It’s a new year and of course there’s new troubles on the horizon for little old me XD

First thing that is in the category of “Yeah… cheers, life” is: My trusty old laptop finally kicked the bucket after roughly 10 years.
A lot of good stuff was thankfully recovered on my backup drive… but I am sad to see it go. It was such a trusty machine, went through a lot of good and bad times with me. It survived 2 Scanner/Printers, the immigration to another country and 3 moves within said country.
R.I.P. Laptop you will be missed.

The second well… I wouldn’t call it trouble… is a bit more darker.
I had a surprising and rather shocking death in my family during the holidays last year. I still try to grasp the whole thing and make peace with it as good as I can, but it is harder than expected.
In my head I’m with my family even though I’m here (I know it sounds weird, sorry ^^; ) and it’s just awkward at the moment for me.

Third trouble is the usual result of a longer absence from the art game: Getting back into shape XD
I will give it my best to get back into a presentable artistic strength so I can upload pics again that I am proud of. In my current style I still see a lot of potential for improvement.
So please be patient with me ;)

Have a good start into the new year and keep staying awesome ^v^
