Hey for anyone still following me. Life update: it's been horrible since losing my housing due to cancelling and my roommate abandoning me after we agreed to move out together, and my lease was up in only a couple months.
So since then I've had to move into to my grandparents house and have been living in a small room ever since. I've been unemployed for three years without financial assistance because self employment doesn't count for unemployment benefits. What attempts to regain a following have been fruitless, and the commissions I do receive from my loving continued supporters has, unfortunately, not been enough to live on.
My mental health has never been worse, and I'm on two medications to keep my mind at bay while I still struggle with untreated PTSD. I've been living off of my savings, and the savings I had set up for my top surgery is now gone, and while I live with my conservative family, all of my transitioning plans have been on hold. Not that I could afford it now anyway. Life has been the pits to day the least.
On the positive end, the medication and my faith has gotten me out of the worst of it, and I have less suicidal thoughts these days. While I live in obscurity online, I have formed local friendships that get me through the worst days.
But living at home and being a full time caretaker for my aging grandparents has not been great for my mental health and has prevented me from being able to take on any regular job (that, and having worked for the fetish community for the last 15+ years of my life, with nothing to show for it in my resume). I desperately need to move out for my own health, so that I can finally start hormone therapy at the ripe age of 36, and try to get back on my own two feet again.
I am grateful for the kind supporters who never left my side, sought me out and wouldn't let me go. I'm grateful for the shota and inkbunny community for allowing me the freedom of expression, and I am grateful to have family that was able to take me in.
Please help me by supporting my art so I can work from home and still take care of my grandparents while working towards my independence.
**My Art Policies Have Changed** I am taking commissions again, but my name, brand, and content in willing to draw have all changed over the years as I've been struggling to find my identity as a commission artist. While things are still subject to change, and will probably be rocky at first, you can find my new brand and all commission info at:
While I will no longer be working with the babyfur community, and no longer want my brand to be claimed by fetish content alone, I will still be allowing some cartoonist kinks like what I used to draw in 2006-2010. Please take the time to read my entire TOS here: https://tinyurl.com/TOSctrlzeke
