Con-Alt-Delete is December 16th-18th 2022 and will be my last con of the year. I will be in Artist Alley selling all my merch including all the new stuff I did this fall. I already signed up and confirmed for my first convention of 2023, which is Anime Midwest. Minus the Pandemic year it will be the 8th consecutive year I will be vending there and the 10th time attending. Hopefully I can get into more Anime and even Comic Book conventions in 2023. Until then I will continue to produce more content and merch to sell.

Oh btw... next year is the 20th Anniversary of when i created my Digimon OCs. I have Huge Plans in store for August 8th, 2023.

I was considered to be lucky to avoid some major debts as I fell victim to a scam artist who was trying to commission me. I was fortunate enough to resolve this issue and avoid being so much in debt that I would not be able to afford rent and food.

I am someone who frequently commissions artists and here's some advice to take when buying from an artist.

- Make Sure the Artist is Available to Commission if they are closed then they are closed.

- Read the Artists Terms of Service or rules before sending them your idea, there's a good chance they will take or reject your idea.

- Use a Reputable Payment service, Paypal is the best I also recommend Cash App and Venmo. Some artists may have you purchase commissions from Etsy, Redbubble, Storenvy or their own website that has a checkout. Most will take credit/debit cards.

- Make sure you have the money beforehand before considering hiring your artist. Many will ask for payment upfront before starting and some will take payment after providing the first sketch, but read their rules or TOS (Terms of Service)

- If you are commissioning NSFW art make sure the artist is comfortable doing that once again Read the Rules or their TOS.

- Once you receive your commission SAVE IT! Upload a copy to your stash, a cloud service and also save it to a physical drive. Some artists may or may not archive their work.

And some advice if your are selling your work.

- MAKE A TOS or RULES. When you do this you make it clear what you are offering.

- State your prices clearly! In fact it should be the main point of your image or journal/whatever. Also include your country's currency. Most payment services usually make the money exchange for you chances are you will be paying in USD, Euro or Pound Sterling.

- Please specify when you take payment. If you take payment beforehand then state it. If you take payment after providing the first sketch or revision then state that. Otherwise people will assume you take payment after the commission is finished.

- DO NOT TAKE PERSONAL CHECKS OR BANK TRANSFERS. And if a customer says they want to send the money directly to your bank account then kindly decline. That person is trying to gain access to your bank account and will take your money. Use a reputable payment service or an online shop that will protect sellers.

- Clearly tell your customer when you plan on finishing. Either by DA note, email or messengers.

- If something looks suspicious then it is suspicious. Take the safe route and just say no.

- If you do NSFW, make sure your customer is comfortable sharing the artwork online. If its a private commission then state that its private.

- Always I cant stress this enough, ALWAYS archive your work. Use a cloud service or buy a harddrive.

I fell victim to bank fraud and after going through all the proper channels I'm still liable for the money owed which is $1500. So as I work my uber job to pay it off I need money for groceries and to keep myself fed until this clears up. Any little thing helps. Here's what I'm offering.

April 4th is my 37th birthday. I'm really starting to look and feel my age. I think I'm starting to enter the early stages of the dreaded midlife crisis. To be honest I didn't think I make it this far I figured with all the people ive pissed off I wouldn't make 20. But here I am I will be turning 37. I will be updating the online store with more buttons and bookmarks and soon adding the option for magnets once I figure it out.

Digiworld: HD is still going strong entering year 19. More characters being added and of course figuring out how to finalize the side story "Odyssey"

Your likes, comments and favs are always appreciated. Even if I never respond.

10 Months Down, less than 2 to go and they are going to be the busiest months of the year for me. For November I switched to working an extra day doing Uber Eats so I can not only pay bills/rent/etc but to also afford the two cons Im attending in December. C2E2 as an Attendee and Con Alt Delete the following weekend where I will be a vendor yet again. Feels great to be back on the con circuit.

The point of this journal is to showcase what I will be working on and hope to accomplish before Mid-December.
