To say that 2023 was a year of stress is an understatement. I had a lot of things happen to me which tested my resolve time and time again, but I never stopped fighting to keep my head above the waves.

I'm stepping into 2024 hopeful and cautious. Many things happened in 2023 that I have learned my lessons from, one of which is focusing on family. In August 2023, my mother had a brain blood clot that caused her to be rushed into the hospital, and I was not prepared in any way. I had to shove every priority aside to gather the income, battle with USCIS's naturalization process and Finland Embassy to get a passport so I could fly out to Spain to see her, and ensure my own mental health in the process so I didn't give up under the pressure.

But I'm happy to come to you with good news: Not only is my mother recovering great, but I became a US citizen on November 17th, and I received my passport soon after. Because of this, my posts are going to become a lot more erratic for the next month as I'm flying out to Spain to spend January with her.

I'm glad to start 2024 by spending it with the woman who taught me everything I needed to pull through 2023, and when I return, I hope to be fulfilled with the desire to achieve the goals I've set myself for this year.

Again, thank you for supporting me and my work, and I hope I can bring you amazing comics, art, WIP images, and stories throughout 2024. Have a wonderful New Year, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

And the commission(s) are guaranteed to be done by Dec 31st!

I'll be out of the country starting Jan 1st, and I don't like leaving work waiting So, if you're looking to treat yourself, or someone you care about, to a commission, DM me or email me! Email is written on my commission info:

Commissions are open, with no slots currently taken!

If you have an idea or a character you would like to see drawn, I work fast, I work well, and I care that you get the drawing you want!

You can find my commission info right below here, and below that are examples of what I've drawn for others:

Two weeks ago my mother ended up in the hospital due to a brain blood clot, and needless to say, I experienced the scariest moment of my life... The good news is that the doctor said she is going to be alright, and is slowly on the way to recovery.

I had opened my commissions originally to make enough for a plane ticket to go see her. I can't thank everyone enough for making this happen. The only thing standing in my way now is bureaucracy as I try to get a Finnish passport as a permanent resident...

But until that's done!

I'm keeping my commissions open so that I can send any money I make to help my mom with bills. So any commissions and shares are appreciated <3

Commissions are open! DM me or email me!

I still got 4 slots open :D
