Hey everybody ♥ NEW PFP TIME and a little personal update! ♥
June has been a hard and busy month for me, as many of you noticed I had barely even posted or completed new pieces this month. I had difficulties to deal with both in my personal life and my dayjob that consumed most of my energy and the tropical heat waves hitting the area where I live didn’t help either. After feeling seriously exhausted both mentally and physically, I decided to take a much needed break from social media in the past week. I have some constant mental issues to deal with - the classic tame your demons situation, which is something that I now feel totally comfortable with talking about so hit me with a DM if you have similar issues and just want to talk to someone btw ♥ sooo recently I noticed that once again I have started to obsess on numbers and external validation once again, which is a very bad thing for my creativity in general, so I kinda had to hit the reset button again. This frustration about numbers and sales and money(which obv I need to survive this reality) caused me to fall into a weird pit of artblock where I actually have a lot of ideas but i just couldn’t work on any of them beyond like a few minutes before feeling totally useless or seeing my art as garbage, and no matter how much I wanted to make progress on my book too it had the opposite result and I literally halted my own progress with stressing too much about it… So lessons learned everyone, take it seriously, but not TOOO seriously!
BUT with this little break I had the chance to do some research of my own and think about a lot of things regarding my art and my business as an artists, so now I will come back with a brand new posting strategy and hopefully much more frequent content for you all ♥
Thank you for all the support during this little hiatus and I’m so happy to see you all staying with me still ♥
Special shout out to all my Patrons, who are keeping me going with their AMAZING support and I literally can’t say how much I appreciate you ♥ Thomas, John, Rémi, Finja, Katie and FenzyFox, you are the best!♥
