Some thoughts and love

Added 2025-06-05 17:37:46 +0000 UTC

Hi everyone,

Thank you so much for your continued support — it truly means the world to me. I wanted to take a moment to share some thoughts and talk a bit about where I am as a creator right now.

As a solo commission-based artist, I’ve always believed that consistently improving my technical skills and steadily raising the quality of my work is the most fundamental strategy — both as a way to give back to my community and to increase my own value.

That said, balancing steady commission work, staying competitive in the market, and still pushing myself to try new things and grow is far from easy.

Time management is probably the hardest part. Trying to handle everything at once can slow down my output cycle, which can be frustrating for both clients and fans waiting for new work. And in the meantime, I burn out too — and my income suffers as a result.

The real challenge is to keep delivering work at a consistent pace while growing as an artist… all without being able to stay in a creative comfort zone.

Still, I’m incredibly grateful that I get to make a living doing what I love. But financial pressure is a very real thing, and with it comes a constant sense of anxiety. I want to be a creator who’s more loved, more trusted — Or, well, maybe just win the lottery so I can keep creating without worrying about money. (haha)

Thank you for reading this far. It’s because of your support, patience, and encouragement that I’ve made it this far, and I’m doing my best to make sure the things I create are worth the wait.

Love you guys. I can exist because of you. Literally.
