Hi everyone ' v ' )!

To be honest, I'm not quite certain how to put a title on this journal. As much as I can help it, I refrain from making too "personal" journals. Though, it has been weighing my mind for quite a long time now...

I don't know how to explain it properly, but I'm at a crossroad in terms of my art right now. I don't think it's going very well for me, so I believe that I need a long break from everything. 

I'll still work on the art that I owe, though I don't think there will be plenty of activity from me in terms of drawing from here on until I don't know when.

I'm also uncertain of the conventions I will attend this year or the next. 

But in any case, thanks so much for the support that you have given me until now. It meant a lot to me, and I wouldn't be here if it weren't for you.

I'll see you guys around on the upside ' v ' )!

Cheers!

Hi everyone ヾ(*´∀｀*)ﾉ Hope you are all doing well!

I imagine it's been a long while since I updated my journal. Just saying, I'm more active in my other websites than here (links are below~), but I still check my dA account once in a while!

I'd like to announce that I re-opened my online store but on a different location this time: laceart.tictail.com

I still have fanart stuff that I sell in conventions ` v ` )

' v ' )/ Well, that's it! See you guys around~ +*

Hello everyone / ' v ' )/ My friend and I will be selling at TamaCon 2015 this March 28 at the SMX Convention Center. Our booth is 'chocolace'. Please stop by and say hi! We will be selling a variety of things from keychains, stickers, buttons, and charms, and we also have some mystery surprises in store > v < )/ We will also do on the spot commissions! We hope to see you there~

It's kind of amusing that every now and then when I don't frequent my dA visits, it changes drastically XD 

As to my opinion on the change, I think it won't hurt to establish rebranding efforts of the company's goals and vision every now and then. I just don't know how the other people will be receptive to this change. Then again, it is their site, so it's their rules. I'm pretty neutral about this, though I'm quite interested to see how it plays out.

So I admit I've been a little dead on deviantART. That's why I made this little journal update to let you guys know what's up.

I check my mail every now and then, and not let it reach the thousands (otherwise I'd get very lazy and delete them all), and maintain Morphos-Metaphor a bit. But aside from that, I've been all sorts of things.

Aside from doing commissions and freelance projects, I've been a little down on the art side of my life. Perhaps I've been burned out by too much work. Though, I'm constantly seeking out the light and shiny sparkles. Much thanks to cherubchan for being there for me always too ; w ; )!

I'm planning to be more focused on my art than I do now because I want to improve on what I can make. Though, one of the things I want to work on is to try and be more confident with my art, even if that's a challenge for a shy person like me to crawl out of my shell. I'll still have a long way to go though, I know ^^ But I need to start somewhere.

I realized that I feel very comfortable in posting my art on Tumblr. I purchased a custom domain name not too long ago out of a whim, and it feels nice for some reason I can't really explain without sounding silly XD My Tumblr is here if you wish to follow me: LINK 
So far, I've only posted the old stuff I put in there because I did a bit of cleaning up with my posts, and I will work to keep it clean and organized.

As for commissions, I'm still open. LINK  I updated my prices for the holidays c: I might change them again around January / February 2015, but we'll see c: 

Lastly, I recently signed up for a Patreon account. LINK 
I have a lot of things that I wish to accomplish as an artist, but I know it's a one-step-at-a-time matter.
When I made this account, I was admittedly very shy about it, but this is like one of my efforts in crawling out of my shell. 
What I can offer may not be much to you, since I know that there are a lot of artists on Patreon out there, but your patronage would mean a lot c:

In any case, thank you so much for supporting me this year. 2014's coming to a close, and I'm glad that you guys are still with me on my artistic journey ^^ Thank you, thank you, and happy holidays!
