Lea! Damn, I visit this place for the first time in months, and find this update. You probably don't even remember who this is (w4lf). Major suckage about the health issues. I remember seeing updates about that ... a couple years ago now? Didn't you have a gov't job at one point? I gotta assume that came with decent health insurance. Maybe you're no longer working there. Gulp.
So wait, you're just now selling prints? I would've thought you'd been doing it forever. There was shitloads of interest in your work back in the day. (Cough, in #fret at least, but I always assumed you were part of a bigger art community, and a known entity.)
I don't know if you remember, but I used to draw waaay back in the day. I never took it seriously, but randomly a couple months ago I decided to start it back up. It's been this weird process of reawakening ... I feel like the Hulk getting over amnesia. I'm slowly like, "Urrrhghghhg, I remember. I used to draw. HRRAARGH." Against better judgment I've thrown myself head first into it recently. Right now I'm getting into the rhythm of studying fundamentals and doing random illo experiments when I get bored. I started working through a figure construction book, cracked open a perspective book, etc. I even started up a sketchbook thread on ConceptArt.org, which from what I gather is past its glory days, but whatever, still kinda fun. (Not going to link here, too embarrassed ... even though this place is a ghost town.)
Anyway, good luck with everything. Sad to hear you're not doing well, but I hope things pick up.
