JerinHaus

Jerami says I should start updating this thing, so I guess I'm the sheriff of updating the DeviantArt journal now. Yeehaw? BUT SERIOUSLY I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO PUT IN THIS ENTRY. My residual mental image of DA is stuck somewhere in the mid-aughts olive-green Web 1.5 fever dream of my early 20s, so please bear with me while I stumble around the new interface like a boomer on TikTok (I also don't know how to use TikTok, I am very old). I guess we'll be mainly posting our digital drawings on here, but we also do other stuff (3D modeling/printing, various old lady crafts, and socially questionable fan fiction in my case, actually cool shit like engineering and electronics in Jerami's), so maybe we should make galleries for that too? For that matter, I guess I should also get reacquainted with the category system on here. Or is it just tags? Are we just doing tags now? Jebus, this is making me feel old(er than my intermittent back pain was making me feel already). I'd be curious to know

Dear reader, It's been a while. We recently chatted with another twitch streamer who recommended we give da another chance. When we were here last we found the site to be a little difficult to navigate and nothing like the da we grew up with in early 2004. We were also disappointed by the lack of engagement combined with the comparatively decent discovery we were experiencing on Instagram, so after trying to split our focus over multiple platforms, we decided to cut da out of our social media loop. Since then, Instagram has decided it wants to be tiktok instead, and engagement on visual media there has plummeted, so we're hoping that da will provide us with the platform we need to grow as we continue to improve on our creative works. Erin and I have been quite busy during our absence from this platform. We're still working hard to try and figure out a direction for our creative ventures, and while we haven't settled on anything yet, we've certainly broadened our experiences with studio tours, interviews, and live streaming. For those not in the know, we're currently streaming on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights at 8:30pm est on twitch.tv/Jerinhaus Streaming has been both difficult and fun. We're still struggling to learn what makes for a good stream, but we're slowly starting to make progress in what we think is the right direction. Hopefully you can check us out when you have time. We've also published a few more YouTube videos since we last posted here. A few studio tour recaps, some fantastic interviews, and some stuff about a few of our other favorite creative projects. If you have some time, please leave a comment and let us know how you found us, and what if anything you'd like to see from us next. We would love to hear from the community here to learn what people would like to see most. Thanks for listening.
