So for the last several years, I've been trying to use various types of social media to grow my career: Tumblr, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter. I even started streaming on Twitch and will be celebrating 4 years on there this June. I have a Youtube channel, but haven't been mentally or physically able to truly devote the time and energy towards it like I want and need to due to various reasons. Many are due to being a stay at home mother and having a husband that has health issues- though there's more to it than that. Things have been rough and difficult to do anything with my art. I have a million excuses, but some of them are not due to my own issues and I felt the need to get them out here and explain more... even though I owe no one an explanation, it's more of a life update really. I have been in a 13 year marriage that... well, it has come to it's end. I've realized some things about my relationship that were not healthy as well as abusive and made the difficult but freeing

Feels like DeviantArt's new style and update for the site overall is better than it was before. Did they upgrade the algorithm? Seems good. Anyways, since I no longer upload to Tumblr, and Instagram is kind of a pain sometimes, I think I will attempt to upload here again. Let's see how it goes, yeah? Also- wana see me draw live? Join my Twitch channel! I stream Mons & Tues, 8pm PST Hope to see y'all more! Oasis~♥
