I don't tend to post any real life stuff here because it has nothing to do with art, but I almost ended up taking a nap in the forever box yesterday.
Remember to wear your helmets.
My e-scooter hit a bump or a root or some damn thing and it threw me over the handlebars.
Half of the impact was taken by my lower back which is now a nice shade of black and purple and rest of the hit was directly on the back of my head.
That impact was so hard I'm pretty sure that would have been the curtain call or at least brain damage if I wasn't wearing this thing.
Well I'm still here, really damn sore and full of painkillers, but hopefully I'll heal quickly and I'll try to keep on working on the lines.

Jebus.. do please take care as it’s at least fortunate the helmet took the brunt of the impact.

Jeanna Faux

Agreed with everyone else. Very glad you're more or less ok, bruises heal at least. Take care of yourself now.

Raptor Jesus almighty and Zoe on a pogo stick! Don't go and get into stuff like this Catcha, you're scary us all here! Take some time off until the pains goes away man!

CatchaBird

Pretty much my words when I saw the damage.

CatchaBird

Oh yeah it did it's job alright, good to know these things work so well when needed.

CatchaBird

So am I, could have been way worse. Mostly I'm happy that I didn't catch any of the impact with my hands, drawing would have been on hold for a while.

CatchaBird

Thanks and I'll try to get over this as fast as possible, I really don't want this to put the commissions on hold.

CatchaBird

I'll have to keep you guys on your toes every now and then, it's only healthy to elevate the heart rate occasionally. Good thing that I'm in a fairly good shape in general, I should heal at a pretty decent rate.

Great Axiom

Jeeze, that looks nasty. Hope you recover soon.

Jeanna Faux

I understand. Right now I'm eating bread and water myself. Never thought I'd get this low financially. Nothing compared to almost losing your life in a freak accident by no means.

JIngle

Glad that you got through that mostly unscathed. I hope the recovery goes well and that you can replace your helmet quickly

Vanksteiner

Glad you're mostly alright. Hope the back heals well and yes, helmets people, helmets!

CatchaBird

Oh yeah been in the world of subsisting on noodles many times myself, not fun at all. But thankfully the financial stuff seems to go in waves, so it has a tendency to ease up. Hope things turn out better for you sooner than later!

Jeanna Faux

You ain't fn lying there!

CatchaBird

Thanks and yeah it's certainly a respectable amount of damage, could have been worse. I'll try to recover as quickly as possible.

CatchaBird

Thanks and yeah hope so too. Good thing is that it happened so late to the year, not much time to drive around here in Finland anyways as it's increasingly starting to freeze.

CatchaBird

Thanks and yes protective gear is so damn important. Feels useless and a chore to lug around, but when you need it you'll be happy you had it.

A Big Guy

Glad you’re safe! Hope the recovery for the bumps and bruises isn’t too bad

Bruce W. Liu

Great with art and smart! Too many learn the hard way to always wear a helmet.

CatchaBird

Thanks and I'm happy to be safe too. I'm sure I'll reach a point fairly quickly where it's tolerable moving around and I'm back in action.

CatchaBird

Thanks and yeah, never riding without one.
