Hey Guys,


Sorry for not updating, things have been a little bit nuts on my end. I'm a private person by nature but I owe all those who follow me a explanation.


First: Still working, still physically healthy, just tired. Think all havoc from last year finally caught up with me psychologically but have been too busy to actually deal with it in a healthy manor so I just crashed.


To be honest, I was having a hard time dealing with things last year prior to the pandemic. Had resolutions to to be more social, get my head in the right place, then everything had to be put on hold. Work has been stressful for a number of reasons and has required more from me. While I have been grateful to have the financial security, I have had to deal with allot of disrespect from people and being ask more of me with little more incentive (I work at a essential business and our parent company has been showing a great profit but we have yet to see a significant bonus or raise after a very difficult year) I have had no real time to unwind and de-stress, my work is too short handed for me to use any vacation time and things I usually do are ether still on hold or have been put already put off till next year.


The days have just been blurring together and that has more or less killed my drive. I have hit a creative wall in the pass but this is a bad one, had not realized how bad until I realized how long it has been since my last update. For that, I owe you guys a apology, a big one. I still visit DA regularly if not daily, commenting on other artist, updating The Mechwarriors group when I can but I have had nothing to contribute. Still, should have posting some sort of update much earlier.


That said, I need to take measures to get my head back in the right space. Take measures to get out and to do more than work, errands and sleep. I also need to re-evaluate my creative process so I can be more productive again.


While I ultimately need more time away from the computer, I do want to say the community here on DA and my other friends online have been great during this time and has made this past year + bearable. Thank you, I owe you guys allot.
