Man! What a year it's been. Looking back through all these pieces, it really feels like the months just whipped on by. Stuff I felt I've drawn last week was actually done back in June. Crazy to think about!
At the end of 2021, I'm just looking forward to the new year. I've seen so much growth over the last 12 months, had so much positive feedback, and had the opportunity to talk with all the awesome people in this community. I could not be more thankful for the opportunity I've been given to simply create for everyone. It is a satisfying and rewarding job that continues to fuel my fire.

To everyone who follows me and supports my art, thank you so much! There's more to come in the New Year.

To all my Patrons over on Patreon, you guys are all amazing and I thank you for the ongoing support you provide! You make it all possible, and I'm so happy with the awesome community we've created together. I love you all tremendously!

One more thing... it's been a tough 2 years for everyone in the world. The pandemic has persisted longer than I think any of us have expected. I, like many others, lost my job to Covid in 2020. I had experience and education, but also a seizure disorder, and in a time where everything was closed down and the economy was tanked, my job searches yielded nothing. I put myself on antidepressants, which destabilized my seizure medication, making many things dangerous to do.
Frustrated by my search for employment, I had the thought to return to furry art, returning to something I did in college to make some money. It started as just something to supplement myself, but soon turned into a full-time job, one that didn't take energy from me, but gave me energy!

I am so thankful to be where I am now, and certainly feel very lucky. I would not be here if it wasn't for everyone in the community supporting me. You are all the best! Thank you, again <3

I would like to especially thank a couple people;
My girlfriend, for being there to take my mind off of things, and for providing ever-steady encouragement, support, and pure love.
My parents, for encouraging me to start my own business in the first place (no matter how weird they think it is) and just saying "do it".
My best friends (you know who you are!), for making me laugh, letting me rant, providing a safe space to talk, and contributing to the work I do.
My Patrons, for not only supporting me financially, but for building up the best Discord server ever.
Zorrito, for being the best van ever and satiating my insatiable wanderlust.
And my Grandpapa, for showing me that creativity can become a career, and for allowing me to channel his creative energy when I need it most, even after his passing.

Man, 2022. Let's be good together! Share your love, and smile at a stranger!
<3
