Good morning!
I hope you’re all doing well. I’ve mostly been off-line for about a month now, but not quite ready to come back yet. Maybe in a few more weeks, we’ll see.

Just a few things I wanna get off my chest and my mind.

Early last month, my wife became incredibly ill. A severe allergy reaction that caused one of her eyes to swell shut. To what? We’re not sure yet but it had something to do with seeding over on my father‘s farm.
We had to go to the ER twice in one day simply because we feel that they had no idea what they were doing. Her ENT doctor determined that she has developed an allergy so bad that if she ever has reaction like this again, it will be 10 times worse and could be fatal. So now she carries an EpiPen with her everywhere in case she ever has another one of these attacks. She’s much better now, just hoping whatever it is doesn’t set it off again.


I’ve been trying to move on from being taken advantage of. Around 2018 two artists (whom I’m not going to reveal due to rules on here and to avoid any furthermore drama) opened for commissions. I trusted both of these people.

One of them I and a few other people paid $50 or more to them. They took off and ever came back. One person realize something fishy was going on and did a charge back., but as for the rest of us, it was too late when we realize it is what happened.
Whenever I’ve ever talked about this artist, oddly, I’ve always been met with the same reactions.

“Did you ever stop to think what their living situation was?”
“maybe they’re going through some things?”

Whatever the reason may be, it doesn’t excuse just taking a bunch of money from people and running off.
Honestly, I’m not mad anymore just disappointed. If they needed the money, I would’ve given it to them. Really I’m just more upset that they did it to several other people.

As for the other artist, they took several “bust commissions” from me and other people. One thing that was out of the ordinary about this is that they asked for payment on ko-fi. Weeks go by they make a statement “Guys! These bust commissions are of going to be done right away. Just when I get time!”
Regardless after two years, I finally just asked them if I could just get my money back. they ghosted me.
Today this artist seems to have a membership only thing going on to see their art. Apparently I wasn’t the only one that complained and they kind of just ran off.

I still pay people through ko-fi, but only if I trust them very much. To this day I do get nervous asking an artist if I’ve been waiting a few months, not trying to rush them it’s just I’ve been taken advantage of in the past.

I think the major part of this that just always bothered me that I’ve had to get over is, it just seems like some people will never face justice. Heck, I even saw a post including one of these artists where they were asking “whatever happened to them?” Just fully unaware of what they did.

I’m not gonna bring this up anymore, or knowledge it if anyone talks about it. I’m just done with it and I’m going to move on.

To all the artists that I still commission, I appreciate your honesty and for coming through in the end.


The Monarchia Daemoniorum
Over a year I started this. Few comments I have gotten about it.

“Why? Not getting many faves on these. Why continue?”

I’m having fun 😸
Flexing my creativity, making lore and a world these characters exist in. If you like it, great! If not, I don’t care.

Hell, if anybody wants to draw or write something about any of these characters have at it!

“Are you a devil worshipper?”
Lol, no! I just have an interest in horror and the Macabre. Inspired by the “De praestigiis daemonum by Johann Weyer”
I’m even working on a more “heavenly” inspired project. 😉


I still have a few issues and trauma I need to work out/sort in my life, i’m starting to feel a little better. So eventually, I’ll come back.

You all take care
