June (2025) Monthly Update
It’s been less than a month since I taking a shift in a different direction and BOY has it been worth it. Right now I am still getting out of the mental fog but I’m getting closer in that better direction… and far sooner than I’d ever thought. But I still want to keep giving you all updates so let’s dive into it!
Art Update
The break-away from the job has lead to an EXPLOSION of art! Nearly everyday an art project has been being worked on and I can not be happier! To the point that weekly art is BACK! There is much more I would love to do but this is a great step forward. Ideas for June are being reworked so I can do ones that I never got around to during that time. I also want to really thank all of the recent and older commissioners, your patience and enthusiasm has been helping me keep going!
Look forward to June’s art tho, some of it might be more “stop-gap”-like but it is looking so good!
Streaming Update and Excitement
Streaming is back, and I finally got a schedule together! At the time of writing this, I'm learning and relearning some things but it’s been forming into a better experience! For instance, The new schedule put out has been filled to the brim because I got excited and soon realized I need time to take a break from streaming for at least a day or more, also having backups incase the OG plan falls flat.
I’m very much willing to relearn it and even get more skills, streaming has been fun and interacting with people is always a blast! More changes are coming eventually to better the quality and the experience, and I’m so thankful people are joining for the ride there.
I am still trying to get a few things ready for the first LP streams, plus any troubleshooting. However it’s coming along in a way I could not be happier with!
Merch and Convention Update
The merch scene is slowly getting better and better as I’ve been creating new button designs, not just art buttons. I’ll be selling these both at the next convention and on the eventual shop. Had to downsize so I’ll be opening an Etsy to start things out. I’ve been hearing a lot of back and forth in regards to Etsy, but I decided to just test the waters and see if this helps out. I’m hoping to create more button and stickers soon too as I have a few fun ideas.
As for conventions, well.. this ended up being a late post so in that time I ended up having two different conventions and markets. So a little too late to properly advertise them.
IRL Update
Right now I am trying to improve myself with walking every weekday and slowly getting better. I’m also relearning proper budgeting by…. going paycheck to paycheck. Not great but rather be humbled at least at the moment than anything. I also ended up getting sick from the common cold, it definitely hindered me on the creation front. Here’s hoping to recover as quickly as possible.
Conclusion
This is the first month where I finally got that freetime and I think I’m using it well. Yes, a lot of recovering but it does seem like things are improving more and more. Art is finally returning and I could not be happier! There are several other things that need to be done but this is at least a great step in the right direction.
Sorry no fun gifs this time, kinda ran out of time. But hope you all have a great rest of June!
