It's been an emotionally draining year for reasons I don't wanna go into, and I'm just grateful I've had friends, and I want momentum. I want to move. I want it to stop hurting. I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired.
But what I'm proud of is that I didn't stop.
Sure, it took me ten months to finish a single picture of a tank (keep your eyes peeled for the 20th), but my commissioners will tell you, I kept in touch, and I kept drawing, and they've been the most patient and wonderful people in the world. Like... they get that my brain kinda fell apart and I've been putting it back together.
My rent just went up, and busking season has ended. And I'm also paying for insurance out of pocket now. So I can't NOT take inktober commissions, but it's taking all I have to finish the ones from last year. So I'll probably open up for some halloween style slots, and do some little ink doodles that won't completely exhaust me to post.
Then sometime this month I wanna get my patreon back up and running and am I setting my goals too high? Only I can know. (When I got kicked out of the library scanners the week after announcing my return to patreon, it shitcanned my avenue to make the kind of art that created the patreon perks I was going to offer.)
You know what? In five years, we'll look back at this and laugh.
I'll be posting what's left of Inktober 2020, if I can find the art in these mountains of paper that cover the house, over the course of this month. And... god, I make simultaneously too much art and not enough art. I need a curator. I don't have the brainpower to create and be my own librarian.
See you when inktober starts.

No apology needed. I don't talk about this stuff very much. I had to say all this because this year I wasn't able to bail out the boat fast enough, so the water's leaving algae and I have to explain why I'm scrubbing it out.
Don't you dare let me lose hope, you're one of the most hopeful people I know - and when you say it, I believe it. Thanks for being here, big guy.

Hear, hear!
One thing to consider, other than the price: the size. We talking something to handle 8.5x11, 8.5x14, 11x17? I personally figure the latter would be particularly amenable to a healthy variety of picture sizes, but since I don't regularly scan art, I can't speak from experience on that.

I didn't know you were so young!
Have you gotten the meds figured out? You can pay cash and they're not expensive if you can get doctor to prescribe them. Places which had your documents are required to release cooies to you and to your next care source with your permission.
Anyhow, please make sure you have that figured out. Help is out there. I can't help you find a doctor or counselor, but I do want to help.
