Not only am I barely getting any work, I ended up getting stiffed on most of the work I did do. So far I’m out a few hundred. Long time clients too.

I’m building a hip hop duck model at 4am on a Sunday because I can’t sleep like a normal person. I have some work to do but I’m hitting that later when my head isn’t being so stupid and pain meds kick in.

Meh anyways more stuff hitting eBay today

Wanted to start early. Pain in my side decided that I wasn’t moving till 1pm. It’s a pain that only happens if I lay on my side. When I’m upright it’s nothing

I really don’t have words for the absolute evil we are witnessing, nor the people sitting on their hands allowing it to happen. Rage and disgust, I’m past that point. The leader of my country is vowing with his full fucking chest that he’s going to commit genocide. No one’s doing shit to stop it

In all seriousness, one thing that might be worth doing today: Tell your Reps and Senators to call Adm. Richard Correll, the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, which controls the nation's nukes, and remind him of *his* unique responsibility to refuse an illegal order.

We’re literally committing war crimes every day now, and we’re just accepting this reality. What the fuck is congress and the senate even for?

I have a ton more to throw on eBay, I’m hoping I can get rid of everything. Maybe make a little money to make up for the horrible past few months. The goal though is lightening the load as I figure out the move to Canada.

So I have this one gig right now to design a tattoo, but it’s of a collage of cartoon characters, all which have different styles and nearly nothing to do with each other. And I have to stay on model. And Slash from the guitar hero 3 cover is in there.

Part One of my Animated Study Notes are up on Ko-Fi! ko-fi.com/s/abd4e3ba67

Ending the month feeling like I was going to die wasn’t fun. Yesterday I couldn’t lift my left arm. It annoyed me that I couldn’t play bass. It’s a bit better today

More stuff on eBay. I’ll be adding a ton more this week. www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?i...

Bought a cheap bass, thinking I’ll noodle around. My wife is playing it better than me, she’s playing it upside down as a lefty too

Thank you for hosting Quico! 😎🍷 Here are my most recent completed pieces. All pen on paper. (Optional) tags for @lkcreations.art @aromiekim.bsky.social @mirin-sauce.bsky.social @lri.bsky.social @brokenoptics.bsky.social @angrychango.bsky.social @trabbles.bsky.social

I’ve been kind of offline for a bit. Wasn’t feeling hot so going on and talking felt pointless. I’ve been working a little bit. Trying to get more going, but it’s rough. So I finished resident evil 9 tonight.

Yeah, I’m just terrified at how bad and how fast everything got fucked, and how we had multiple opportunities to stop it, but didn’t. I just want to move up north, live a quiet life making art.

I really don’t get the point of why I have social media at this point. Being a ghost fucking sucks.

Next week we start making comics. If the world isn’t nuked to shit. Even then, what the fuck else am I going to do?

Shits insanely scary. Prep for the worst, hope for the best. As long as I’m still breathing I’m still fighting. I hope y’all are doing alright.

So I had an opportunity fall in my lap today that if it works out opens me up to a whole other side of the business I currently do. I hope like hell it works out

I haven’t checked in for a bit, everyone doing alright? Anything cool going on? I’ve been trying to organize stuff, get things ready to sell off and we learned of a new law in Canada that might be our ticket to citizenship, provided we can get certified records for my wife’s family’s ancestors.

Ended up upgrading my clip studio on desktop to 5.0 The annoying part is their upgrade structure that they make purposely weird so you buy their annual upgrade pass instead. So I bought the full perpetual license 190 bucks in the hole but I don’t have to pay yearly, I will take that

I’ve decided to harness my generational trauma and make a comic. It’s been a good 20 years since I last made one proper. It’s time.

In my downtime for the past few months I built a lot of gunpla. But I have nowhere to to display them.

Waiting on a logo design gig, it’s something. Trying to drum up more.

Alright y'all seem to dig it. Want it on a shirt? ko-fi.com/s/0e9a1e4d17

Oh, yeah It’s MAR10 day. I’d put on the hat if I had one.

I’m at the “shut it all down and disappear” phase again. I feel like I can’t ask for help. I have nowhere to go. Everything I’ve done so far hasn’t changed circumstances. I don’t exactly have friends to confide in. I’m also sick so that might be a big part of the feeling. I just want to work

Ok… not seeing the point.

Man I’m trying my best. The chaos of the world is really crushing down on me. My wife is out of work, I’m out of work. What the hell are we supposed to do right now?

Cheers Quico and as always thank you for hosting and tagging! 😎🍷 (Optional) tags for @keycheyn.bsky.social @lightvick.bsky.social @riolavar.bsky.social @canuckuma.bsky.social @rjb-mallacore.bsky.social @brokenoptics.bsky.social @runningcritter.bsky.social

Incredibly messy desk shot of the Turn A Gundam model I finished. I need to fix the panel lines on his gun and some bits but he’s looking good.

Today was uneventful. Guts are still feeling funny so I’m taking it easy trying to catch up with everyone I miss. It’s been too long not engaging with people more often. Sharing stuff and what not. I’ll be spending the weekend sketching a ton of stuff, hopefully work comes in but if not 🤷‍♂️

I’m pumped full of steroids, finally have medication. I’m feeling funny but I’m itching to really get back to work. If you have any projects that need an artist, I am available now.

If anyone was interested in reading my comics (for free!) I have them up on Webtoon. www.webtoons.com/p/community/...

Reflecting on things, my semi exile with social media really helped. I needed a good solid break from chasing interactions and trying to be a social butterfly, we all know I suck at that, instead turning inward. Doing stuff outside of everything, building Gundam kits I had around.

I have good news. I actually got medication, granted it’s a generic that’s kinda sorta like what I was taking but I took the first shot last night. The new injection pen is one of those push down ones, I like it better than the button one, hurts less. (I’m a giant bitch about needles)

QRP with your skull art!! #darkart #skulls

So I’ve been quiet, trying to keep chill, still have to deal with a fallen tree, it’s quite big so it’ll take a bit, trying to chop as much as I can out then call people to take care of the stump and the stuff near the electrical wires. Trying to get costs down prior if I can.

New game with the wife. Watch European restoration channel on YouTube. Take bets on if it’s going to be a weird lighter or not. It’s almost always a weird lighter

I pretty much didn’t do social media much at all. I also didn’t accomplish much. Instead I was practicing getting rid of seam lines in gunpla. Trying to get the funk out so I can draw. I’ve also made small notes for a comic.

I renewed my domain, though I still haven’t done anything with it since help I was getting skipped out on me, the plan was an easily updatable portfolio/store site. Had no real budget being a broke artist so it was to be reasonable and stuff I could mostly do myself with a bit of guidance.

Finished Mob Psycho 100. It was good. I’ve been randomly watching anime I missed out on since I’m doing a crunchyroll trial. Filling the time however I can since I’m blocked up creatively.

I’m still trying to find work, but still nothing moving. I’m just panicking a bit because it’s that time of year they drastically cut my wife’s hours so I’m trying to make up the shortfall for the time being, but each year it gets more impossible.

Finished him, took horrible pics because I was tired.

Fullmetal Alchemist - Brother's Lullaby

Snow. A bunch of it. Yeah. Hope this is the last hurrah of this horrible winter
