The Frogurt Is Also Cursed
1 min read
So, after a *mumbledy mumble* long absence, I'm back.
In late 2012, a person joined my household who abused me mentally and emotionally. They set themselves as the arbiter of what was creative. My photography sucked, my drawing sucked (never mind that on the later, I claimed nowhere near a professional level, more of a near beginner). The fact that I was in the roughly 10% of people who can't use a graphics tablet that isn't like a Cintiq meant I was a bad artist.
They left my life 18 months later. I cut the ties because I needed to save my own sanity. I wish them well and I hope they get the help they need.
The journey back to feeling and being creative has taken a long time. It's not been a straight line by any stretch. I have had many cathartic moments that lead to where I am today.
Hopefully I will be posting more in the coming weeks and months.

I'm excited - my Danbos (big and mini) should be here in about two weeks. 
Yeeeeee! Looking forward to photographing them all over the city.

Needle and thread.
I'm busy lately with working on Yule presents for friends and family. Yay. Of course, the new puppy got into the cough drops and I got screwed by a client for money, but hey, life is good, right?

An Idea Like This Needs To Be Shot...
1 min read
For some reason, I have the idea to do up a MLP Tarot card set for a friend of mine who loves horses.
Derpy has to be the fool.
I am going to regret this, aren't I?
