Art is hard.
People who don't art sometimes have the impression that art is this fun relaxing thing to do, and it can be, but like anything else, when you put in long hours and have to do it whether you like it or not, it is work. Finding motivation to do work is doable, even on one's own, but art is fickle. As an artist if you're only slightly motivated your work will often only be slightly good.
Slightly good isn't good enough, so these days I've had the awful habit of scrapping 3-12 projects a day for the past... to be honest, the past couple years. I want to increase my production ten fold. I want to make lots of good art for you and for myself.
To this end livestreams keep me focused. If I know someone's watching I keep arting and am more motivated. Thus I will be livestreaming almost constantly on weekdays and occasionally on weekends at this link: livestream.com/viwrastupr
Any watchers are appreciated and have my thanks, plus you get previews of any of the art I'm doing!

Rift Apart Lombax
She's just adorable. Why? Why do they do this? Why do they want me to go full furry? I've gone full furry https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/viw/lombax-daki Yep. It's shameful self-promotion for a dakimakura, and an upcoming blanket. I'm past the point of no return. Why am I whistling?
I'll be at bronycon!
Booth 524, see you this weekend if you're there!

Hi folks.
It's official: the gofundme funds have hit my account. Holy crap it's never been that high. I've got a lot of personal effects that I can replace and a dental/optometrist appointment to make, but I thought I'd let everyone know the specifics, especially on the Jenn Blake donation amount:
Total raised by the gofundme: $9,131 (What. Just.... what.) There were also some direct paypal donations.
Total deposited in my bank account after gofundme fees and whatnot: $8,431 which is roughly 91.7% of the total.
True to my word I wished to donate 1/2 of any extra above the $3k initial goal to Jenn Blake's cancer fund, which takes some math
Car found. Posessions gone. Friendship massive.
Hello all. For those who read my last post I have an update. My car has been found. It is functional (thankfully) but is not in near as good of shape (transmission grinding, jammed window, broken window rolling thing). This is a relief.
In heartbreaking news almost everything that was in the car is gone. There are a few minute items which were left in the car (some shoes, spices, a tankard, a candle, some bbq sauce, one buffalo nickel, and two broken legs from my grandfather's table) but everything else is gone. Forever.
It is good to have closure and saddening to have all my possessions disappear into the ether, so my mood is a bit mixed.
