Thank you 😭

I was a slug all weekend because I couldn’t be anything else, and I’m tired of being a slug but also I want to get better…

I’m gonna sit here and drink my mug of hot broth and play my vidya game…

Thank you!! I am… more than a little stunned…

I wasn’t expecting anything to come of it so it came as a huge surprise..! I definitely have my work cut out for me 😅

THANK YOU 😭

I think today I’m going to make do—I have two blank (or essentially blank) canvases that I can start with, and if I get those done in a reasonable time, I’ll consider getting more.

It’ll give me time to make more thumbnails, too. Of the 10 thumbnails I made last night, one has promise.

(Basically, “do I need to go shopping for canvases?” The answer is, naturally, “YES, you imbecile! You ALWAYS need more canvases!” Unless I’m talking to my business budget self, who looks at all this and says “You can make do.”)

Thank you; I’m gonna need it!!

I 100% thought, from the submission guidelines, that it was a “submit the one you want to show” type of submission but hey

I work better with deadlines

I can do this 💪

Thank you!! ☺️

The trick is finding a job that lets you create when you’re off the clock. If you can find one that fulfills you without draining your creative energy, all the better.

Anyway, I’m working now. Not sure how that’s going to affect my art workflow but I’ve done this before and I’m sure I’ll manage! 💪

Basically, they wanted to make sure people on Medicaid “deserved” to be there. But the measures they were using don’t account for all the ways in which people suffer.
