I'm gonna try and write rambly stuff here...

With so many awful things happening in the year for me, (for everyone tbh) I want to thank you all for making my 2021 bearable and giving me reason to keep getting up in the morning. Art is basically the only reason why I still exist and having the support that has been given to me has only helped.

Back in Autumn 2018, before any of this art existed, I was discharged from my workplace because of depression & anxiety. I'd felt isolated from everyone at work and I was in the furthest possible place I wanted to be. I was in a really tough spot and I basically used art as a form of therapy to get myself into a better mindset.

Since then, I've had unprecedented growth which in-truth amazed, shocked, and scared me. As I've said before in one of my posts, I'm really not used to having any kind of success, I guess it felt like I've always been really unlucky. You guys sure proved me wrong!

Most importantly this year has made me realise that the friends, supporters and everyone in-between are the ones that keep me going and I cannot live without them. I'm truly looking forward to future things.

Here are a bunch of people that have helped me this year in no particular order. I want to thank...

C0C0_Puffs, for giving me the confidence and direction to pursue my dreams
MrBalrog, for putting up with my spontaneous emotional breakdowns and dumb shit
pjj, for helping me embrace the child within me with nonsensical humour
Viciousteeth, for helping me remember that I am a real person that exists
Dutchfox, for being a great friend who believes in me every step of the way

and many many more people....

Thank you friends, patrons, supporters, for your continued support!

Let's make 2022 a little brighter together.
