hey! if I send you an invoice, shut the fuck up. do not mention NSFW stuff or even the word "furry" or anything, Paypal is company of dickbags searching for any excuse to harass creators. using invoices is the smartest/best/safest way of working as a comm artist, and this is explicit targeting

Apparently P*ypal now asks for customer opinions on accounts sending invoices.
If you are paying an invoice to a nsfw artist, do NOT mention NSFW in any way, keep it blank even. you risk both your account and the artists.

Doodles, a la the cartoonists workbook

Progress. Neat little piece of scrap can be a coaster now.

Out here learning new techniques and patterns

Biggest and most picturesque horse-poo mushroom I ever did see.

Also this makes me want a real camera even more. Phones are nice but I want the real deal in my hands.

Do we know anyone who can help with this? Can we help find the right people?

My heart is broken, I am sick to my stomach, and I am absolutely furious for you. I’m so sorry. I am in no position to help right now but as soon as I can I will. There are no words, just rage. All my love to you.

Yeah TT locked me out because I changed my phone number and forgot to remove 2FA. Oh well! I also wanted to be done with it.

My kid is back in school so my wife and I have private time again and she is so goddamn SEXY it is everything I can do not to pounce her in her office chair and forsake all my duties

Unfair that you can’t call in to work purely because you want to spend all day fuckin

I have a great job tending to horses and I’m back to training regularly.

With luck, I’ll be able to be in tournament or even on the roster this year at Sherwood. Stay tuned.

So I got off the road eventually because my health stopped me from jousting.

Gut issues I feared were deadly like from my family history ended up being merely IBS.

Nearly a year and so many tests and thousands of dollars later, I’m now aligning my diet to work for me rather than against me.

I’m also locked out of my old TikTok account apparently. 😅😂 despite trying through submitting a ticket, I cannot remove my old phone number or 2FA and they closed the ticket.

Oh well!

Oh and the meta apps & TikTok are all designed to be addictive. Yuck.

I always hated chasing the algorithm and the paycheck to paycheck living, so I have a way more stable job that pays the bills. Plus, my TikTok became a something people only cared about if I was crying.

This brand and persona can return to being a happy hobby instead of a job.

Jousting dissolved any and all previous versions of myself and demanded that I become an athlete. Okay, that’s now done. Still figuring out how to make measured and regular progress in that direction.

This meant all content ground to a halt. It’s time consuming.

“Just where the heck did you go? What happened? You were cranking out cosplays and content and you had just played DnD professionally live with Matthew Lillard and a bunch of other really talented performers. Then you kinda vanished!”

In short?

Got hired by a joust company.
Then-
Got very ill.
