Kind of an update...? (Patreon)

Hey everyone, a bit of a personal post but, I feel like I gotta let you know what's been going on. As you may have noticed I have been posting mostly at the end of the month for a while, and that's because I've been ...really busy.

I have been working at what I thought was my dream job for the past 5 months and I got fired from it today, one day before it would legally tick over into permanent employment.

Now when I reflect on it I have been a victim of workplace bullying simply because I did not realize quickly enough that some senior staff had a very different vision from mine.

That and my employer no longer being willing to pay for a licensed specialist, so replacing me with an uneducated alternative happened to be a lot cheaper.

I was told to come pick up my stuff on the 23rd, ironically, on my birthday. And was asked to not attend my last day tomorrow to "avoid misunderstandings" so.. now I'm sitting with my secret santa present that I was supposed to give to someone tomorrow when we would have our little get together to say bye before winter break. Typing this sad post lol.

Maybe it's for the better, I won't give the people who bullied me the satisfaction of seeing me sad, but it's also very tough to not be able to say goodbye to the few good friends I made there.

Which brings me here, so so grateful for the support you all have been giving me all this time and all the patience. I will upload more evenly spread out now so at least that's a positive...

Please know that it matters a lot to me, that you take the time to look at the things I make and take interest in my art and are even willing to support me.

I have been feeling so insecure about myself, but then I realise I have all of you and it makes it easier to cope. That there's people who can make me feel like I'm not a huge failure, that I can still make someone at least a little bit happy with my art.

Thank you so much for being here and making my life easier! I hope I can continue to bring you art that you like.
