Haven't posted in a bit...
I've wanted to check in for a while, but as with everyone else, this year has set up major road blocks. After battling Mao's army of sock puppets, I got very tired of social media and deleted both Discord and Twitter. From there, work picked up. I even turned away thousands of dollars in work because I was just that busy... A sharp drop off in mid-summer, bursts of work until early November... and it's been below average activity for me. I'm very fortunate to have had client work during the down time that should make up for the loss.This summer, I had a rib injury that made breathing extra painful. Less breathing and activity lead to pneumonia, which I seem to have survived okay. But buddy did I ever gain weight! So, starting yesterday I've been on the treadmill for FORTY minutes a day.
I just got some animation work in today for a huge online retailer, which will be good because holidays are boring and frustrating :)
Anyway, sorry for deleting my social and not telling everyone. Sometimes you tell everyone you're going to delete your social and then don't, making yourself look like a complete piece of sun.
It's like the wind is no longer in the sails
It's hard to art or animate when it feels likes dooms day is right around the corner, especially with all this Coronunism going on... but I still force myself to make art here and there. It used to be for money or comments, now I make stuff so I won't get overly sad :DI have missed this site in a lot of ways, most here don't willingly agree to the rising tide of authoritarianism — whether it's from the Sock Lord or the creepy mofo elites.

Wanted to do some attempts at digi-painting.This site is way more talented than I am, but why not just post something stupid for kicks!?
Welcome back! :)
Thanks Mr. Acid! Although I've never been more out of touch with what's been going on. I've been in a bubble of sorts.
Good time to get back into the waters. ^^
For a long time I've been thinking about ditching this account and starting over. The whole OKC shtick is pretty stale :D
Until then, I think I can post practice work.
First Class Frog Beast, welcome back
Hi M, I remember you, but I think you had a different icon. Thanks for stopping by. Feels like I'll just post every 30 days or so, but I'll try :D
You can post once a year or twice a day, you're always welcome in my feed :))

Is good to see you here. Welcome and your work is great
Thanks, that is too kind. Time has been scarce this year and life just hasnt been the same, so it's harder to post :)
Yes, it has been a very difficult year. Greetings from the island of Margarita- Venezuela
Glad to know you're not a dilapidated corpse that's covered in crusty Pokémon cards and semen on the side of the road or anything.
What's going on!
What's going on!
Welcome back. I hope we get to see more of you around.
If you ever get bored you can always mint your artwork now as an NFTs. The Artwork scene in crypto has been exploding.
Thing is, I have a pretty good career lately, which is a shock, my career was in the dumps since early 2017.
I'm not really technical enough to make NFTs and my art's more about quirky fun than valuable collector's items :D
I'll try to post monthly or so. :D
Well if you ever want to for fun. Hive now has a platform called NFT Showroom for minting art. It’s like 5 hive + 1 hive per edition.
The hardest part is getting whitelisted to get in if that is still a thing.

I look forward to these monthly posts. Glad things are going great. Have a great New Year's.
Uhuuu :)

Welcome back. We are all rich now. You missed it... pffff not!
Aqua Lung is yucky. Glad to hear your on a treadmill. If it gets old, become a staircase/incline hunter, like me. I’m not an expert or nothing, but I have fun looking for local staircases. I’ve located a few nearby outdoor staircases. Fun in the morning before it’s busy.
Stairs and hills are good ways to keep a workout routine interesting. See more yoga butts too. 😍
Hi HiveSeph, sorry for a slow reply, I've been drowning in busyness.
I also got a pull ups bar last weekend and I think it's going to help a lot!!
Are you still in CA?
Don’t drown! Punch and jump that shark and keep swimming. I’m glad you have lots of work.
Ooh, you inspired me to break out the pull up bar. I forget how much it helps my back to hang from a pull up bar.
Thanks for responding. Stay safe.
