A shaky future
Added 2022-03-01 18:28:52 +0000 UTCHi guys. I hope your business is going as well as possible right now.
I'm in a pretty depressed state right now. Being Russian (and human), I am terribly angry and saddened by what is happening in the world, my heart aches for people who are not to blame for the wars of the authorities. The Russian state shuts our mouths, imprisons, mutilates, breaks our destinies for protests. Any sloppy word on the Internet can result in Russian job deprivation, imprisonment, a huge fine. Our peaceful people are also scared, but they continue to protest and do everything in their power.
In Russia, Twitter is banned (it no longer works for me). Instagram started to work poorly. Perhaps soon we will be cut off the external Internet. I do not know, these are just rumors, but in our country the state does everything against the people. They are at war with other nations, and with their own.
In this regard, I risk being out of work (commissions and Patreon are my main earnings). Now I am fulfilling the orders that I have. My favorite job helps me get away from all this shit, and now I especially appreciate my work. All countries have turned their backs on Russia and every cent is valuable to me. I still have to eat, be treated, pay for housing and feed the animals. I can't draw in sketchbooks or any other personal art right now. I have absolutely no inspiration for this right now... But I'm glad that the commissions are pushing me to draw.
Fuck, it seems to me such a sacrilege to talk about my experiences when Ukrainians are hiding from missiles now...
For the same reason, I can't post content anywhere. FA and Patreon are still working, but it's awkward for me to show my art now... But since I feel a great responsibility to my subscribers on Patreon, I will gather my strength and post something here soon. I am eternally grateful to those who continue to support me here... If Patreon is turned off, I will continue to upload sketches to my Telegram channel - https://t.me/+BzkPzfdyLkM3Mzli
Also, if you lose contact with me, you can write to me by email: olka02293@mail.ru
or my Telegram - @chickenzaur
Now is the time when every word needs to be weighed a hundred times before it is said. This is a place where I trust my subscribers and can talk about it more freely. I hope that everything will be fine very soon...
