Weekly Update! (2021-03-01)


Hey peeps!
Been hard at work on commission work and projects, and things are coming along rather nicely!  This week I’m going to be focusing on my personal projects, save for Sketch on the Spot on Friday.
I’ll see about getting more of Chapter 5 of Various Happenings done… I’ve got about a quarter of the total stuff done that I need to finish the chapter, but a lot of it is in an “in progress” state, so it might wrap up really quickly and we might make some good strides over the week.  I’ll keep y’all posted about that as it happens.  Also Clara stuff, if I’m in the mood (I haven’t really been in that direction lately, but I can feel myself coming around again, so, we’ll see what happens.)
Next week, we’ll be flipping things on its head and I’ll be doing commission work all week with a free draw on Friday, so look forward to that!
Nothing new to report otherwise;  My health has been decent, and there’ haven’t been any new developments on the front with my dental insurance.  I’ll give them another week or two, and then start poking around at different establishments to get a second opinion.  If I can just get the insurance to pay half for the equipment that’s already been produced, then I’ll just take it, but I’m not comfortable paying $2000+ for something that I don’t think costs that, and something that I think should be covered based on our prior agreements.
So, we’ll see what happens with that.  If it comes down to it, I’ll just keep commissions flowing and pay it off, but I’d rather have the insurance do what it’s supposed to.
I’m planning on, once VH gets into its new presentation mode and it gets started again in earnest, creating some new merch for you all.  So T-shirts, bookmarks, art cards, stickers, etc.   Should be fun, and I hope things work out in that direction.  I’d like to slow commissions as my regular source of income, but right now, things are going okay and I’m not super pressured.  You all have been lovely, and I’m happy to be back to work.
Other than that, everything’s good!  Just keepin’ on keepin’ on.  I don’t think I have anything else to talk about right now.  Everything is in sort of an “in progress” state, so I’m not going to be releasing anything weird or complete at the moment, but I have a lot of stuff in the pipes, so we’ll see when it starts to manifest.
Anyway, thanks everyone for reading!  I hope you’re doing alright.  It’s really rainy lately and it’s been alright, though we have had a few storm scares.  Still, the longer the heat can stay away, the better (at least until I can move up north).
Take care of yourselves, and I’ll see you next week!
