Hi guys
I'm gonna be quick and serious for a second
I feel kinda bad for the lack of art this year, if you see my gallery you can see I post a LOT of art every year, except this one
As mentioned in my pinned tweet:
"I try not to be so vocal about this- but back in April I had a loss, and from there I feel like my life has been going downhill, it has not been easy to continue with my art, but I'm trying my best here
Thank you for your kindness and patience"
(I also recommend checking this life update here)
Thanks to this- my art kinda suffered and slowed down since I felt like I wasn't worth being called an artist- Like- I kinda isolated myself from the art genre as if I didn't belong there
This, of course, made me feel pretty depressed and I stopped producing more complex artworks and focused on small things, I re-opened my shop to keep creating stuff... at least not so-complex pieces
But THEN- I was thinking that my merch stuff is not good enough to put on a gallery and- you could say I started a spiral of doubts and worries about my art- what is and what isn't good
So yeah you could say I stopped because I was sad and dumb
Nowadays I feel a lot better, but I still have some stuff left to do
My last IRL deadline is on November 15, and after that, I'm free to work on pending stuff
Thanks for your patience :)

Your health is important, and if it is something you don't feel like discussing openly, then that's absolutely fine too. There's no shame in grieving - it's only natural that we human beings feel sadness over experiencing a loss. I'm glad you're slowly getting better and that's how you should do it: small steps, no pressure. Good luck to you!
