I'm scared and I need help. This month has once again been largely eaten up dealing with important things catching up to us and family crises -- including three pet deaths and two households needing rides after their vehicles broke down -- keeping me from working. I'm practically invisible in social media algorithms because I haven't posted much art in weeks, and when things finally settled down enough for me to sit still and do my job for a few days, I got sick with some stomach virus that has kept me bedridden, weak and in agony the whole time. I'm finally able to sit in a chair and write this from my desk without suffering, but I've been trapped in my head these last few days extremely aware of the fact that we have no money and nothing coming in, with a tire that needs replaced, limited food, and next month's bills on the horizon. My last few commission posts have gotten a few hearts but not a single bite, and I don't know what to do at this point except ask some more. I'm trying to get art done, I really am. Every time I think I'll be able to work, something comes out of left field. If this sickness doesn't come back for an encore I might finally have ample time to accomplish something, but I need some kind of support to survive in the meantime, whether that's new commissions, tips, or buying from my merch stores or Bandcamp. Anything is greatly appreciated, and I promise I'll be working through owed commissions as fast as I can.
