I'm Still Alive!!!

Don't worry! I'm still alive, just working a lot.  I took on a seasonal retail job about 3 months ago, and they've been piling on the hours like nobody's business! But hey, the pay is good, the coworkers and supervisors (mostly the guys) are great, so I can't complain.

I've been keeping up with music and other crafts, so there really isn't much time for making videos and tutorials.  However, if you follow my personal Instagram, you can get short clips of my latest drawings.  The newest sketch is of my character, Dreamer - which I will eventually share on YouTube.  You can view the Instagram video here ---> Drawing Dreamer

Plans for future YouTube videos? Sure, I have plans! Half the battle is bringing them to fruition.  And with school coming up in the fall, who knows what I'll have time for - maybe live streaming. 

Stay tuned for more content, and have an awesome weekend!
