Hello everyone!

First off, I want to aggressively thank you all for allowing me to have this time off, and for directly giving me the financial freedom to have a vacation and to rest and recover from a bit of burnout.

It really means the world to me and I know how lucky and privileged I am to be able to have that- so thank you, from the bottom of my heart!

I had a very nice vacation and rest and I was able to see my family for the holidays. For the last couple days I've just been relaxing and getting used to doing my Etsy work again.

This Monday, we'll be returning to business as usual!

I originally intended to work on the Fox Dakimakura designs earlier, right after I got home, but I found myself to be too tired to get much work done ^^;

However, I've rested up and on Monday I'm going to attack it head on with full time business hours. 

I may need to work on it for a significant chunk of January, but I will still consider January to be a normal game development month [ I'll go back to placeholder work immediately after the pillowcase design is complete ]. Hopefully it won't take too long!

But either way, I know I'm ready to get back to work now and I'm eager to jump in to a new year of growth and productivity!

Thank you all for a year of support. I feel like my business has really taken off last year and I feel so much more... sure and solid about my life path. I know this is what I want to do with my life. I love this work. I love telling these stories and drawing these pictures. I love interacting and collaborating with you guys. I was so lost in 2018, but after half a decade of growth, I feel like I found my place in this world.

Thank you so much for helping me with that.

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year Everyone! I look forward to finding out what's in store with all of you! 

And as always, stay safe <3 See you next week!

This is amazing gato. Me and my girlfriends have talked about how we hope you're doing this for years because we don't know how to live without your content LMAO I'm so glad you enjoy what you do and I hope you keep making enough income to do so.
