Correct me if I'm wrong, but there was once just Black Friday. Then Cyber Monday appeared. Suddenly I'm seeing Giving Tuesday, or maybe I wasn't paying attention before. Now it's Cyber Week?! And Black Friday deals are becoming a month long thing.
When I was busy moving, I wasn't really watching what I was eating for a couple weeks. I was scared I'd have gained 5 pounds. Nope!! Only 1.5. :blobfoxcheer:
I think being active helped! And *mostly* choosing salads or grilled chicken at food places.
Just trying to play some VR games to workout to, and everything is washed out in a purple tint. Installing a 1.2GB GPU update is taking ages event though I have fiber.
ARGH!
I didn't sleep well at all last night, but I made today productive by going for a walk, sorting out mostly all my stuff from moving, breaking down moving boxes for recycling, selling stuff online that I don't want anymore, eating an apple pie ice cream bar, yada yada.
I'll take a melatonin at 9pm and try again tomorrow. I can't art if I slept like crap.
@46879311 I'd love to use it as a creative tool for generating images to base inspiration off of, but *only if everyone had opted-in*. Can't use it in its current state, I'd feel too dirty.
Maybe being a bigger artist would make my life easier by making my necessities easier to buy, but IMO I'm a small artist because I am horrible at marketing myself! I have no desire to do the song and dance of constant Instagram/TikTok art Reels. Sure, I'd love to join in on the animation memes, but time is so crunched for me. It's difficult.
I don't care about follower count, stream viewer count, fav count, all that. Those numbers don't measure my worth or skills as an artist. It may be shooting myself in the foot in this day and age, but that's how I feel. I want to draw kooky & cute toons and perhaps make some friends along the way.
I basically feel like a visitor to Twitter now, trying to keep it only related to art updates. I check out Bsky for the art and post art, then I post my rambles as toots. :blobfoxaww:
Finished headshots - Truck, Ruser, Foxy, Toast, Goatboat. Had to move stuff from the moving pod into my house and I'm exhausted. I'll finish up Ziggyfroid, Emmet, Jacobspencer and send them all together.
Come join spooky and chill vibes at 10am Central! No mic, but I got plenty of toons and relaxed vibes (and coffee!). Let's be coworkers and draw together or hang out. 🎃

Interesting how I'm not the only one from Kansas City moving BACK to KC. They're moving back from Colorado, Georgia, and California. They all state is because the cost of living crisis.
KC hasn't been immune to the crisis, but compared to other places, we got hit less hard.
Only crying a little, cuz I wish I could go give each Skunktember drawing a different color background, but I accidentally merged the PSD files containing all of them. Uff.
