It's almost been a year, what. I haven't given up drawing entirely, just the digital stuff. It's always weighed in the back of my mind that I needed to come back, fresh new head on me, and start again. I dusted off my tablet and looked in my art folder, stuff from a year ago, is sitting in there. I remember back then thinking, "This is crap, why do I do this? I have a child who needs me too much. I can't.." and I put down the pen.

Now I look at those pictures and I think they look really good, I don't know why I was so hard on myself! PART of it was postpartum depression and self-loathing. I did get hit with that pretty hard in those first few months after my son was born, but I realized it and came to terms with it, I got better. Learned to love myself again and stop feeling guilty. This is all personal stuff to me, but I felt like I owed an explanation for my disappearance. :heart: So here it is.

So.. I took a break. A longer than intended, much needed, break. Until I felt brave enough to pick up that pen and start again.



TLDR: Personal hiatus was taken for heavy stuff like child-rearing and self-rediscovery!

Bronycon

3 min read
So I have to say.. attending Bronycon 2014 as a Vendor has been an AMAZING experience! And I just wanted to take a moment to thank you all for making it possible!!
I mean, between the watches, and the views, the comments, and faves.. more or less you guys have been a force in making this happen! AND, it wasn't a cheap trip, by any means, but we broke even plus a profit! So it was a success!

Thank you art will for sure be in order! I need to personally extend thanks to my boothmates: atryl (he couldn't be there, but having him there lastyear helped immensily for this year), Siden, Scene (Girl, you're worth it!), and my Husband of course greennpc (Stranger Danger)!

So even if you couldn't make it to Bronycon, I just wanted you to know that I still consider you part of it! I thank you from the bottom of my heart! :heart:

You almost have too many ideas to draw. But atleast I have all day, maybe something will come of it~ the day is young!

Seems like I am most motivated when I get up at 6:30am, that was 1.5 hours ago? Music's playing.. I should open SAI.
