March 2024 diary

Hello everyone,

I hope you're doing well and that you had a wonderful start to the new year! ☘

I'm not sure how to begin these lines... For almost nine months, I haven't been active on my various platforms. Last year was incredibly challenging and exhausting for me. Between health issues, inflation, and other personal circumstances, I had to step back and take care of my family. I had to take many commissions to make ends meet.

Recently, after a long effort, I completed all cm, which makes me happy, but still, I'm exhausted. I don't consider rushing my work, as every brushstroke is filled with love. It can take weeks to finish projects, especially due to my health limitations. Although I work hard and do my best, the past months have been very demanding. Nevertheless, I won't give up, even though my life situation hasn't improved.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your enduring and unconditional support in the past months. Your support has always helped me to not lose courage. It means incredibly much to me that you believe in my art. It's hard for me to adequately express my gratitude in words, but I want you to know how much I appreciate every one of you.

I hope you like this Miyuki illustration. It's been a while since I've drawn something personal, and I've really missed it. I wanted to capture a peaceful atmosphere. The stars symbolize my small personal wishes for a better future without existential fears and a dignified, healthy environment where my small family and I can live. ✦

I don't want to make big announcements or promises for future content, but I will continue to do my best. Your support means a lot to me, and I don't take it for granted. I aim to continuously evolve as an artist and never give up on my dreams and passion.

Please excuse this emotional text. I hope it was not uncomfortable to read these lines. Thank you for reading. I hope you will continue to enjoy my future works as well. ღ

With sincere gratitude,

Nami
