Text Update (plus post ref maybe?)

Hi folks, it's been quite a while and i realized that time has become a miasma that I cannot see my way through! Let's Update!

I ended up getting sick literally 3 days after Minnesota went into lockdown. I wasn't sick enough to get tested, but I lost about a month to bedrest. Even now I still get out of breath faster than I feel I should be. I'm trying to get out a bit and do some walking, but the park near my apartment has been so full of people.

A friend of mine hooked us up with some nice masks with a nose wire, so my glasses problems have been solved! June hasn't gotten sick at all, and has been very sweet about going to the store for us.  She recently released a single that I think you might enjoy -  https://junelalonde.bandcamp.com/track/a-birch-is-an-anchor  Please give it a listen!

My day job has been really busy, as I work for a software company that deals with online social events. I went from getting ~10 emails a day including Jira tickets to OVER 40 A DAY and its been so so so much.  I am currently thanking my lucky stars for Animal Crossing.  My typical day is to get up at like 10, stare into the void of Twitter for an hour, work from 11-6 with nearly no breaks, then play Animal Crossing for 2 hours, then stare at youtube until i fall asleep at 2. It hasn't been great, but we're surviving and I'm really grateful that we're both pretty healthy.

I was able to get a 2018 iPad and an iPencil with Procreate and I've been getting used to drawing in bed again. If y'all want to post a ref, I'll see how many headshots/brush tests I can get done for y'all.

As always, now that I have a day job, Patreon is just a tipjar for me, so if you are in a financial situation, please know that it's fine to drop your pledge. I am thankful that so many of you have stuck around even though I don't have as much time to draw, but I don't want anyone to feel like they're the difference between me and eating or anything like that. 

I hope you all are staying safe out there and getting what joy you can during all of this.
