JOB GET! update and art!

Current Mood: 💘Loved
Listening to: Emilie Autumn- Misery Loves Company










Went on a date a few days ago with my partner and gosh it was amazing. For once I don't have anxiety in a relationship and I'm so happy. It's just so casual and nice since I'm dating a friend. Anyways went for korean bbq, the hello kitty store, and got a ton of treats from my babs, and then our fave bubble tea store. We are even making a scrapbook together filled with sketches of our time out and cute stuff saved from our outings. I love the bonding already. It's also nice for someone to understand I'm ambi/poly. the communication is so open and freeing.

Now onto the nitty gritty

Also got a job haha with a huge company, won't say who for the nosey folks plus under contract not to say who so... womp womp but wow wow I'm shocked because I'm pretty sure I felt I tanked that interview but you know what maybe not. I've been feeling pretty insecure as of late job hunting wondering if people can detect my ADHD or autism and starting to get into my head if this was the reason why. But it wasn't, it's just the job market is a complete ass. Cause now, even more, jobs are coming in for me. NTM I may also have a separate weekend job if I'm lucky with a luxury store. I really click with the manager because get this, we were both raised and born in the Bronx majority of our lives. So we just get it. So positivity and happy times rn. Most of my anxiety is just not there anymore. Now to get my sleeping and art on track.

While my sleeping will be on track, my art has to be scheduled and timed. I still teach art classes which are flexible but now student intake is very limited and atm my classes are perma closed with what students I have until further notice. I just can not handle an over amount at this time plus I have an apprentice so hey busy busy. Not to mention a queue. I feel If I don't finish a good chunk of it by the end of the year. I'm refunding folks. Not that I don't want to work on the art but with all this work... and a super big project for a friend's storefront that has to get done for him. Yeeeeaaah it's possibly best so I don't legit overdue it with the workload. Since my irl jobs come first. Gotta pay that rent to even keep drawing both comms and personal art yalls woooosh.

One thing I do know will tank..is possibly my social life : ( I possibly can hang out with friends irl and online for a limited time at night and not like I used to which sucks but I can always check up on them with text. it sucks but hey...the life of an artist...this is kind of our M.O at this point as creatives managing everything beyond our art. I'm pretty sure my buds will understand.

And here are some Wips of art.
Some art is already finished but the rest I deff need to get done





Anyways yalls I am exhausted and just wanted to do a well overdue update here to keep you guys in the loop with my life.  :3c
