This was for the january prompt "you and yours(oul)". There's several metaphors in here referring to my sense of inner and outer self, I don't do a lot of directly personal art so it was interesting and fun to explore

I posted and ran yesterday because I was very busy haha but I stumbled upon the burnout project not long ago and immediately got inspired, and I'm hoping to keep on it throughout the year.

All I can do for now is keep going making stuff I guess, I wanna share more art than last year for sure (moreso when I've finished some owed stuff soon). So thanks to those who have been here for me thus far and those who will be here from this point forward, you mean so much to me

Honestly I do need the store and comms for the income, but also for the fulfillment. I do my day job because I have to, but I do the art stuff because I love it. I'll reopen them for sure and hopefully sooner rather than later, but it has to feel right+

I'm hoping this new year can be a much needed fresh start in all senses. I'm taking better care of myself physically and mentally but I want to nurture my creative spirit too, put time into personal projects but also reinvigorate the business part of it+

I wanna be clear though I'm not saying this for pity or to put blame on people who didn't or couldn't support me (especially monetarily) last year, because it's not their fault at all. It's no one's fault—but that's kind of where the frustration and lost feeling comes from, because I've been trying+

My health has also been rough the past year, physical and mental. That was a big factor in why I posted so little new art—I pushed through as best as I could but some days I could hardly sit upright. I'm doing better, but still more sick than not as of right now+

What I'm really talking about is my main platform (twitter) reducing my reach over time and then imploding completely, tabling at my first con and us artists getting kinda screwed over, manus getting rid of products I'd rely on, etc..+

Some things don't count—for example I made a bunch of original merch even though I knew I didn't really have the audience/reach/demand for it to sell. I made it anyways because I really wanted to, and though I hoped people would like it I was prepared to eat that cost haha+

I tried several different things with my art business last year that didn't work out due mostly to outside forces, and that's left me feeling a bit lost—aside from wrapping up some owed stuff that's the main reason I've closed my store and main comms for the time being+
