The one who’s receiving this used to be a coworker of mine; she’s a piano teacher, and studying to get her degree in physics (I believe??) and, well,…
….I still work at Starbucks.
I have a very soft spot in my heart for this person: she always, always extends an invitation to me to hang out–whether a small get together, or going to a movie….even though I always decline said invitations, for multiple personal reasons.
No matter how many times I say no, she always invites me.
My relationships weren’t always that way. In high school, people stopped asking. My reason for saying “no” is… the reason why you’re here looking at this.
I was always trying to improve. I didn’t have time to socialize. I put all of my time into art, writing–creating, in general–when homework was done.
Not much has changed in the past ….what, 16 years? I’m having doubts that anything ever will, despite my efforts. I suppose I can dream about “earning my right” to go to that small get-together, or seeing that movie. I can fool myself into thinking that, with enough of hard work, I can finally earn my keep with art alone, and earn my right to socialize. Or even relax for a change.
I took that to a much more personal place than intended. I’m sorry.
Thanks for looking.

So here we have a side by side of the first version of my Twisted Little Red Riding Hood illustration done in 2019 vs the one drawn this in February. I think it is an improvement.
One of the big things that I wanted to address in the new version was the Day of the Dead theme in that it is a more colorful event/world than what I had originally had. So vibrant colors was a must.
So today will be when the Moon and Sun Tier patrons on my Patreon vote to either continue with this specific theme, pick one of my previous Twisted Fairy Tales to explore further with new art and designs, or pick a whole new fairy tale and make it “Twisted”.

I’m almost out of business cards so while I have to order more I figured it’s time to update my business card design. I decided this years card will be tiger themed to celebrate the year of the tiger (I was born in the year of the tiger so that is why i’m a big fan of it ;D ).
