Journal! Why have I forsaken you. I don't particularly want to dump a load of really personal shit out onto the Internet, but I have been going through one of the most unstable mental health episodes I've ever experienced. My mood has been a fucking yo-yo. For extra hilarity, I also decided to start a strict diet and temporarily quit drinking to gain some mental clarity, and while I ultimately think those were a good call, short term, I am down two things that I quite enjoyed in a period of Read more
Happy six years, Caby <3 It's been a strange last couple of years as life re-enters the picture and we get busy and don't just have time to hang out all day like we used to, but I'm really happy to say I'm less clueless now and understand her better, and she understands me better as well. Our discussions don't turn into argumetns anymore. It's been well over a month since we last fought, which maybe doesn't sound like a long time, but it's the most peaceful we've felt in a very long time. Read more
First drawing of the year finished! January is Wynuary, as is tradition, and I wanted to add to the weirdly large pile of "Wyn exploring the dark with a flashlight" drawings. Mine has some shitty layered fog though, ooooh! Yeah, first time painting fog, and I think it came out...interesting. I used the bleeding watercolor brush in FireAlpaca and then smudged it. There's five different layers of darkness here, some on top of the boy, some underneath. It does give it a nice sense of depth, at Read more
Well, August 1st would normally mean the end of the annual art trading extravaganza Art Fight (here's my profile—note that all Art Fight links require a login), but they extended it to the 3rd this year! Turns out deploying features mid-event causes people to not be able to submit attacks. Still, I'm bowing out at the normal time because I've accomplished everything I want to, and I really had to upend a lot of my routine to make it happen. It was intense, sometimes rewarding, and sometimes Read more
Well, we're eleven days into July and I still haven't updated the journal yet this month! Literally all of my free time has been spent lately either writing album reviews (follow the RSS feed, I've got a run of one of day going!), working, and most importantly, participating in Art Fight! I've gotten four attacks done in eight days. One attack every two goddamn days. Here's some highlights: It's been good, really! It's nice to get some more dynamic, character-driven art done, given how much of Read more
I've been meaning to write this post for literally a week now! I'm just...really busy at this point. And likely to fall asleep the moment I get out of work. I haven't talked much about my job on here because I think everyone around me is a little sick of the "Cammy doesn't like his job" carousel even though this one probably legitimately deserves the complaints. At my last two jobs, I was at fault, really—a lot of me being a baby for no reason, a lot of issues with customers and other Read more
I have my flight out of here scheduled for this Sunday, the 17th. With any luck, by next week, I will be back in the US, comfy and with all my new CDs to finally listen to. On another note, I've been hitting the art stuff seriously hard this trip. I might try to finally update the mari@macintosh.garden art gallery, seeing as it was last updated in November of last year. Here's a drawing I did just yesterday and one I doodled this morning, neither of which have been posted anywhere just yet, so Read more
So a weird thing's happened! I'm drawing stuff and people like it: "Okay, well, maybe that's just how active I've been with the community on Sheezy. Let's check FurAffinity." Well, alrighty then! I didn't post anything of them to this journal (or my long-neglected static HTML art gallery on mari@macintosh.garden, which I'll update when I get back), but I drew both Cammy and Colton in separate drawings, and both of them have done remarkably well basically everywhere I post art (save Weasyl, but Read more
Think like you haven't ever, try to remember the days When we would talk 'til the light, before morning Your summer neck is burned with salt and sand I lost my fingers trying to find your old hands In time, maybe We'll discover we Could've been closer to the core, yeah In time, maybe We'll discover we Could've been closer, closer It's funny, how perspective works. I've mentioned this before, but I've really sequestered myself these past few years. There's only so often you can watch things blow Read more
Happy new year, journal folks! Have been getting over the emotional holiday hangover, but I'm pretty close to full speed now. I've had a bunch of things to update the journal about, so to avoid spamming it with a bunch of smaller updates, I'm gonna split it into two bigger updates, one with projects and one with my leisurely pursuits: mari.somnol is officially parked I've had plans for mari.somnol for well over a year now (this journal just happens to be from eight months ago instead), so I Read more
