Loss

CW: Death

Hey all.

In the last 3 days, I have lost two family members suddenly. I am a mess.

My maternal aunt fell on the 2nd and was critically injured. She broke her hip, ribs, and collarbone. The worst injury was a massive brain bleed. The next morning (3rd), she was pronounced brain dead and that afternoon was removed from life support.

Earlier today (its 3am sat now), I received a message from another aunt. My paternal aunt also passed away earlier this afternoon. She was travelling with my uncle (he's a truck driver) and they stopped at a station. He went in the store and returned to her unresponsive. When the medics came, she was already dead. They are thinking it was a massive heart attack, but it is not confirmed just yet.

I received this news after getting confirmation of my first aunt's funeral times (which is sat morning). I am a blubbering mess. I'm under so much stress. I don't think I can handle much more...Please send some positivity my way. I need it.

Question

Should I post some of my favorite completed commissions here? Or should I just stick to my personal art?

Lazy

Having lazy days during my last week of work! My last day is Sunday, and I am spending my time off before the weekend binging on video games I've missed playing due to balancing work, life, and my art.

Alas, come Monday though, I shall resume my commission backlog and comic production.

Been a While . . .

Hello random survivors,

It's been quite a while. I guess a little update might help things a bit.

In the last two years since my last update, I had been through a lot. A whole lot. Professionally, I have completed my first chapter of my webcomic, got accepted and sold at a very large convention, retired from selling at cons, and began to focus on making free to read comics on WebToon for the time being. Recently, I also arranged my last day of work to be on the 20th, which is a huge step for me in my art career. A gas station is no place for me. So, in 10 days, I will be free. I will be doing art Full Time. I am excited and nervous at the same time.

Personally, boi. hoo. I have moved 2 times this year alone, I have been through so much and lost so much and just...sigh. I'm weary and tired. My mental health has been plummeting at an alarming rate, which is why I am quitting my job. But things are starting to get better it seems. Let's hope for the best.

Update about Life with Love and Magic:

I'm sorry for abandoning it on here, things got frustrating with uploading here that made me stop. Although now it seems to be working a little smoother. However, now my comic is no longer being made in standard format so it will no longer be uploaded here unless you want 50 billion pages of like 2 panels per page. It will now be posted on WebToon (will update with link later) using their format. It is already on WebToon in standard format, if you want to go look, but it will no longer be updating on this particular link. I will be starting the series over with the new format separate from it. If you are interested in seeing the new format, the entire first chapter is already available to read on Patreon. Early Access starts at $1 per month :)

So, that's pretty much it. How have you all been?

Hiatus Ending!

Hey guys! Sorry for the silence! I never got around to announcing the temporary hiatus I went on due to personal life issues, such as losing half my pay at work because things are rough there. BUT, things are starting to get better! It took a while to pick up the pieces, but I feel it's safe to say that Life with Love and Magic will continue its regular schedule on March 30th! Thanks for being patient :)
