🕑 Added 2023-07-10 13:39:01 +0000 UTCI wanted to chat a little and bring you up to date, about my work and in general everything that is happening now!
I really want to tell you something, because I so rarely text something for everyone to see that sometimes it seems to me that everyone thinks that I'm just a robot artist who has no life outside of my art galleries X)
Many are aware of my situation: I am from Russia, my boyfriend and I lived in St. Petersburg for a long time and everything was fine and wonderful! However, due to a situation that is WELL KNOWN all over the world, we were forced to urgently leave to another country. We are both horrified by everything that russian government is doing to my beloved home country and are looking forward to the victory of Ukraine and the change of our government.
In any case, my boyfriend`s and my life has changed a lot amid all this fuck. Arriving for the summer to relatives in our hometown, and not even returning home for winter things, we abruptly left to Kazakhstan. On top of that, PayPal was blocked for us, and we had to use Boosty (damn it a thousand times). And then I got sick.
So:
- winter is coming, but there are no winter clothes
- I need to go somewhere almost every day to deal with bureaucratic paperwork, which will allow us to stay in this country for at least 1 year
- boosty`s blocked my account for 90 days and we were left without money in another country (no money for warm clothes)
Bottom line: I got very sick and yes, I'm still trying to recover
Little by little, many problems were solved. All thanks to the support of my beloved boyfriend, as well as the friends we found here (this is a separate very dramatic story, lol)!
Despite the fact that renting an apartment is quite cheap by European standards, about 60% of the income goes to pay for my treatment. It's scary to imagine how much money was spent on this in 8 months, haha
The money is running out faster than I would like, so I have to distract from the already paid orders and draw YCHs or adopts (because the money from the orders has already been spent on treatment, and new ones are already needed).
Fortunately, I'm a big fellow! I keep my to-do list in check and still place orders within the deadline. But of course, sometimes execution takes longer than before. So many thanks to my commissioners for your waiting!
In any case, I try to stay in high spirits, and I would like to express my deep gratitude to you personally, my Patrons! Thanks to your support, I can find some time to relax! The work of an artist may not be very physically difficult, but mentally it is very exhausting. I rarely leave the house, mostly only to the hospital, and going to the cinema once every few months or spending money on a donation to genshin is JUST NECESSARY to keep myself in line, because most of my time I look at the canvas with the next order)
I really want to finally recover, and then I can take my mind off the endless earning of money. I've have an unfinished ref list for chatski for half a year now. God, how I want to finish it!
I just wanted to chat with you a little, so if you have any questions, I will be happy to answer them :3 Also, run to order an artwork from me!!!
I love you
