Alrighy, so it is about time for a big update on all the things I've been up to.
For those who knew I was pregnant, I finally gave birth back in February to a baby boy. He's perfectly healthy and just had his 6 month birthday this weekend.
I spent several months recovering and focused on my son, hence the lack of activity. I didn't even get to work on art for two solid months! Agony!
When I finally did get to work on art again, I had to fight to find the time. Gradually finished a mini personal project I had started back in January. Since then, I've been mostly active on my new Tumblr: kickingrabbit.tumblr.com . You can also find me on Twitter: kicking_rabbit . (If you haven't noticed yet, I also changed my DA to match!)
Right now, I am working on my next personal project: A Story A Day. The one-month trial project is to be hosted on my soon-to-be Patreon account. More on that later this week.
Finally, I'll be uploading a bunch of art I've worked on the last couple of years that never got to my DA gallery. This probably won't happen until I get my current project rolling, but you can be sure that there is lots to look forward to! As this happens, I will also be cleaning up what's in my current gallery. Need to make room for new art as I push on to the next level!
It has been a year of transformations, and things are just starting!
Hope everyone has been well!

What's The Scary Thing?
When I am feeling in a funk, I sit down a this exercise:
I ask myself what I'm afraid of. I write down everything I've been afraid of doing or saying or worried might happen I write down what I've been avoiding and why I am avoiding them.
Last week I was avoiding starting my next painting. I have so many other stressors going on right now. I am still working on my divorce, still getting a handle on finances and daily to-do's. Still trying to make time to rest, relax, and take care of myself between errands and appointments. Trying to balance the time I spend teaching my son to be responsible with the time I spend having fun. It is exhausti
Miss Me?
Just wondering who still pays attention here, though I realize it is hard to keep-up with DA notifications. I am exploring my art in more personal ways and wish I had more of a community to share that with. Contemplating being more active here again, but honestly after 20 years on the internet I'm getting tired of trying to be heard? I don't usually like to pity-party vent in journals, but there it is.
Anyone here use their art to explore their spiritual/subconscious reality?
Also, does anyone really use the new Eclipse DA? I feel it is aptly named, I can't see shit through the new UI. Where the fuck are my feeds? How does anyone see when
Life + Kickstarter Nearly Funded!
Heya folks!
I miss posting here regularly. Life has been hectic! And then my Cintiq Companion took a dive and currently needs to be sent in for repair (I hope they can fix it!). Downside of having a tablet and computer in one means I cannot digital art OR get online except via phone, lament!
On the bright side, I've been helping to manage my friend's Kickstarter, which is just $300 shy of funding with 3 days left in the campaign! Please consider backing if you like dinosaurs, books, or even my art! (I designed the bookmark and stickers!)
Check it out and read the first chapter here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/941536304/mark-of-the
Reflection: When Your Species Isn't Original
Whoots! So I'm getting back into the swing of DA, perhaps more than ever before. Design sales and group participation and art I just do for fun will probably be the main focus of this account, though I do spend time on more serious endeavours.
I've been looking around the Closed Species / Original Species scene and am so surprised to see how much things have developed, holy cow!
I've also noticed, a little to my dismay, that my Figment species is not particularly unique in concept anymore among CS. It is a little disheartening, I have to admit. (Not that masks possessing a spirit-esque entity is a new idea.)
