Its been weird with whats going on in my head but a big weight on my mind has been the fact that I am soon moving out of my apartment with my roommates. Come the end of October my fiance and I hope to be packed up and moving back in with family till our plans for where to go next are settled. Over this month of September, I've spent most of my time taking small commissions on stream to raise money to help in anyway with any expenses pertaining to the move (and I'm not entirely done yet.) Suffice to say this has been a big crunch and mentally draining effort that, in between times of rest, has really made me think about where things are headed in my life and how I want to improve and change things for the better.
Come the start of October, I will be pausing my Patreon indefinitely and will be spending however long it takes to completing every artistic endeavor I owe without accepting any new commissions on top. I will be seeking regular employment elsewhere to sustain myself and when I do finally complete my long list of "to-dos" I plan to take a hiatus from art in general.
Its no secret that I haven't been great at delivering regular content on Patreon and you lovely babs have been mostly taking care of me while I crumble under the weight of my own responsibilities. Frankly I've been rather disappointing and I don't blame any of you for feeling as such. Which is why I felt it more and more with each passing month that I need to stop dragging this along, and now with another big shift happening in my life this seems as appropriate a time as ever to turn things around and try to be better.
Granted this has been a HUGE learning experience and greatest opportunity that I couldn't have ever dreamed of being able to do. Drawing for an online audience for a living, whilst challenging and sometimes unpredictable, has had its moments of being tons of fun, introducing me to amazingly cool people, and bringing me to a shockingly friendly and supportive community that has done so much good for my growth as an artist and my personal well being. Makes me even sadder though that I couldn't take all this goodwill and generous support, especially from you lovely babs, and turn it something fantastic and for that I am truly sorry.
I said above that I'm "pausing" the Patreon. Mostly to keep a more detailed list of all the babs who have supported me and I that I still plan to post artwork (if I can) to this Patreon as I complete everything I owe. I simply no longer wish for anyone to be sending any more pledges, whilst I do this. Once everything is said and done then yes I will finally shut it down.(Depending on how all this works.)
Thank ya'll for being with me on this adventure of mine. Its had its ups and downs. I definitely do plan on returning to it someday, but for right now I gotta work on being better in more than just working on my art style.
Much love to you darling Babs. Thank you so so much!

I wish you the best with whatever you end up doing! I've enjoyed watching your art develop over the years. I hope that you can still post the occasional doodle of Denzel, Winston, and Whitney on Twitter every now and again, but I understand that real life stuff comes first. Looking forward to what you've got for these final commissions!
