Update: Hello friends! I know I have gone quiet this last little bit, like most everyone, I have been white-knuckling through life lately, and it seems all I can do to not lose my s**t.

I was diagnosed with an alphabet of mental illnesses a few months back, and the meds are no joke. It has made it extremely difficult to find/keep work, which is why you've probably notice my excessive posts to sell my book.
The distribution deal fell through in the 11th hour, and it was too late to not move forward.
Anyway, on top of this the brakes on my car gave out, and I have managed to gather enough funds to pay for the parts, but I am short on labor. Getting work in Providence without a car is also no joke!

I am loathe to ask for help or handouts, but here I am. I'm happy to give out ebooks to people who may want them in exchange for a donation, you can still purchase the audiobook and paperback on my website.
I know we're all struggling, and if you are able, please help me get back on the road!

* It's funny how six degrees of separation works! Y'all, we're developing a new segment on the Cafe Penumbra Podcast to elevate artists and hopefully bring a little exposure their way. If you are an artist you love could use some fresh eyes or a shout out, PLEASE dm! (Also like and share please!)

* We're proposing a few minutes to show examples of and a discussion of the work, and any links they want to share. This is so important especially for artists who do not produce digital content!

* We only ask for permission to share the work and links, and for a nomination of another artist to be spotlighted.

I just realized that the largest population of people most closely related to me on the planet now live beyond this gate somewhere. My grandmother was born on this same street, married and built a house on the same street, raised her family, and is laid to rest here, on the same street, along with around a hundred of my ancestors and relatives. (4 generations) When I lived there, I spent countless hours caretaking the graves with her. It's truly a respect thing, speaking for my relatives, they don't come here, it's just where there bodies are. The closest I feel to my mother lately, is when I am intensely focused on a task, and curl my tongue around the corner of my mouth, she looks at me and smiles.

The journey that had to be taken… Everyone struggles to figure out who they are and what to do with their lives at some point, right? I took it personally.

This is WIP 3 of 4. Starting to add the textures in, and tweak the lighting. As progress continues, some of the lighting and proportion errors become clearer. Notice my candles are pink? That's because my color temperatures are accurate, but the designer cheated! Figured out this week that the reference is CG, lmao!
