(WIP) & some thoughts...

edit: sorry for the edits, apparently Patreon didn't want to upload my additional images. Should be fixed now!

Ello my dear friends and happy FRIDAY!! I hope you're all having a great week/start to your weekend ^_^

 I have been locked in myself this week catching up on things, you may notice hearing more from me now than you had this entire last year...that is no mistake - your zappy cat is finally feeling better!! After a very, very long year and a half+ in recovery from substance abuse amongst other traumas, I am finally feeling myself slowly crawling back out of hell and getting the itch for art back.

I can't thank everyone enough for the support for those of you that stuck around, joined recently.... it means a lot that any number of you still care about me or my art enough to stick around. I had a really hard time getting my footing back after stopping working cons financially, and although I don't plan to work a lot of cons in the future, I will still have to prioritize a few to make up for those costs.... so what does that mean for me? GOOD QUESTION

I'm branching out into gaming, anime, cosplay convention in May called WasabiCon! It's a bit different than my usual market and to be honest I'm quite nervous, but I'm also super excited to meet some new people and maybe get some new inspiration too. I don't think I'll be done working furry cons forever, but for the time being I'm super okay with this direction I'm headed.

It's exciting to plan for something new! And i've never been to NOLA... maybe by chance one of you will be there? [eyeballs]

Other than con news...

Since I am mostly a homebody anyway...Twitch has come up again and again. I have no intentions of VTubing, but I really enjoy my silent lofi art/dino time! Recently only paused my streaming due to some PC issues BUT I hopefully will be fixed that in the next week or two so I can get back to normal streams. :) It's been a great outlet for me, especially since I don't have the energy for talking much anymore.

Other than being more confusing than ever with more usernames to add to my list.. wanted to keep my dinosaur gal for the more public face of streaming so I can keep ZAPS for me but we'll see how that goes! I thought about maybe using my gal Nugget too since my channel points are nuggets... who knows!

 I'm keeping my options open, not going to limit myself to any certain box anymore and just going with the flow [and meanwhile trying not to drown].

Other than twitch things, I've started up a STICKER CLUB on Ko-Fi to help me mitigate some costs of the ongoing dental work I've been getting done. I'd love if you checked it out!

Lots of WIPS incoming this weekend, I'm trying to be better about uploading with intention and not my usual 'throw it out there and run away] tactic. Hope you all have a good weekend!
