Long time no see!

Hi guys!
As some of you may have noticed I've let this account sit on the back-burner for quite a while and I eventually ended up hiding all of my gallery content here. While I've been active on other places around the internet I haven't felt much of a need to continue posting art here because I don't really have much to show for the last couple of years. I've become very invested in the Japanese street fashion community and I've been spending a lot of my time focused more on fashion and less on art as I try to figure out what I want to do with it going forward. A few years ago, I hit a couple of hard learning curves that made me step back to take a look at whether or not I wanted to continue trying to make money with my art, which is something I think we all struggle with to some degree. For a time, I thought that keeping my art as a side-hobby would make me happier overall because of the freedom of expression that comes with it, but honestly that hasn't been the case because I've found myself feeling very unsatisfied in any other work that I do. Everything else feels both temporary and auxiliary if my art is not connected to it, and I'm tired of feeling this way. After gaining a lot of confidence as my local anime convention's primary graphic artist I have decided that I'd like to try to reenter the Artist Alley circuit next con season and that I would also begin pursuing graphic art as a career once again. As a result, I felt the need to start a fresh body of work that best reflects my current skill level, which was going to be difficult and a little bit stressful to do on an 8-year-old account. I'd love to become more active here again and catch up with the community, so if anyone here would like to join me as I move forward my new account is here!
Also, if you'd like to see any of my old work, feel free to drop me a line and let me know! I still have copies of everything, they're just not here anymore. <3
All my best,
Sara
