it's that time of year i'm starting to think about resolutions and making sure i did the previous year's set ... not done yet, but since august have been making a sincere effort to actually *close out* non-art projects. (art stuff has been in a weird hiatus since moving computers, i just haven't had the energy to draw for 6+ hours straight which i need to crack an art block successfully).

the funny thing is that i haven't felt ... that productive ... this whole year even though objectively i know i was. :v toooo prove myself wrong, gonna write down "thing accomplished for each month":

january - created 1/2 of what greater sin zine (NSFW, on hiatus)
february - created leather resources (site essay / link collection)
march - co-created/released a 18+ print zine, SAFETY OFF
april - created advice from an anonymous corporate designer (site essay)
may - co-created/released No Time for Caution, a kindle & paperback romance novel
june - created the zihark fan shrine. :')
july - successfully manage'd an intern ~
august - ~~survived hell mont~~h. also got promoted x2.
september - made the great krad art dump aka posting all of my art in a zip file
october - created a personal craft book for one of my grandmas
november - ??? / if nothing happens, moving computers for the first time in 12 years is a big enough ordeal ig
december - ??? / create(ing) a promised family book for my mom

(i actually like this system of holding myself accountable to around one big thing per month. the only change I'd make for next future is doing less projects for other people (aka learning to say no more) and having more art projects and zine mixed in with non-art work like essays and sites.

I have a similar thing going on [see my pinned post on my journal] and uh I realized I have not done a lot of stuff beyond semi-actively using my DW. So uhhhhh okay I'll get on some stuff so at least the end of the year seems eventful.

also: I am now a proud owner of a krad art dump!

p.s - have fun moving computers! i do not envy you lol

p.s.s - finish what greater sin plsssssss orz

omg i love your 2021 scrapbook tho - the one with all your media listed? that's brilliant, and gives such a cool snapshot AND media archive of what you've watched/read/brought. i see so many people who focus on one medium but very few that capture it broadly across all mediums.

(eheh thanks for the kind words again - and 'what greater sin' is definitely one of those projects i want to come back to when bored. :3 )

Nicely laid out leather resources page! I hadn't seen the LA&M timeline before.

ahh thank you! <3 means a lot coming from you. also appreciate the reminder, i need to update it, heh.
