Hi! I wanted to address some things regarding my absence from Patreon, and the lack of updates, and I’m afraid, transparency. I won’t go into detail because it’s strictly personal problems that I wouldn’t tell my nearest family, but I have been going through severe clinical depression, problems with my medication, and very, very narrowly avoiding hospitalisation. Due to this I haven’t been able to handle a lot of work-- and a lot of responsibilities that come with managing an internet presence, or a presence at all as I’ve neglected to function as a human and cut contacts with a lot of people just by lack of being able to reply to… well, most things. It’s been extremely unprofessional. I wanted to make a ton of speedpaints and stuff but realised halfway through recording I couldn’t go through with it, and just shut a lot of them down.

And of course there is no excuse to leave you all hanging without anything. I have just been seized by episodes and anxiety about posting anything, on my main channels, particularly due to my own paranoia about having a large audience(which is as humbling and affirming as it is terrifying) or on here. I have begun taking medication again, and want to correct and fix paths forward so I can do this in a way that works for me and for you guys, because I really am grateful to have you all here, and I’m sorry I’ve dropped the ball so spectacularly on everything.

The changes instated would be:

I will in the future only have one tier, for 3$, to take part in speedpaints, sketches, as well as bonus content and art tips, updated monthly. (I will still draw what I am due to the people who have previously donated and requested!)

I have taken more time than usual finishing commissions because earlier this year I undertook about fifty-five, which was the overwork that led to many problems to begin with. The measures I take now will lead me to be able to update in a regular, healthy way which I hope works for me as well as for you guys. Every person I’ve spoken to here has been so kind, and I don’t say this to guilt or alarm anybody, I am saying this because I felt you were owed an explanation, as well as a clarification on moving forward.

I’m going to take the next week to restructure things around here, answer messages, as well as draw the requests in my backlog.

Sorry for all this messiness around here, and thank you everyone for sticking with me, and for your patience,

Jay

P.S

I have not drawn Much, because of this, but I have done so, and I hope you enjoy what stuff I have to offer. Thank you again!
