It's been months since I touched this account and that's because my plans have changed for the Nth time. I packed up my life, I moved, unpacked, have yet to set up my art studio and a housemate that... I may have to kick out sooner than expected for several reasons. As I am currently getting the spare bedroom ready for someone else to move in, I have finally taken time to write up descriptions of my Elsewhere works granted that has been slow. I have also decided to redraw one of the Elsewhere pieces to finally do it justice and have plans to get to that next month. With any luck, I'll be more active after everything gets settled and my friend finally brings me the large desk he's been trying to get rid of. After that this will probably my main page for updates and uploads. I will fully admit, I've never been a huge fan of social media and some platforms are more lacking than others when it comes to home base art accounts. Now to rock out to Mr. Kitty and repair the dents and cracks

It's been a long time since I've truly been active on my account. There are plenty of reasons why that is but that's inconsequential now that I'll be making an effort to keep this as my online central base of activity. In the last few days I've posted a majority of my finished ink drawings, have been updating my info, and contemplating how I want this account to look. There will be future galleries coming up; such as one for my "Outsiders" comic book project, a full tarot card deck gallery, and possibly a subscribers only "Archive" gallery of works that I have decided to pull from public view. I have been asked about NFTs a few times already and as of June 2023, I do not have any of my works available in NFT "format." That will be a possibility in the future when I have more time focus on the fine print details of that market. My current objective is getting my originals professionally framed and in a gallery as well as moving to a new location as I've outgrown my current workspace.
