I know having this job will eat into the time I could be spending doing my art, and my business is going to suffer for it. I've already accepted that I'm not going to get to do cons next year. But I'm not ready to close the art business. I just don't know what it's future looks like yet.

I've got this job because I need the money, and I keep reminding myself of that. It's not a hard job either. It's just hard for me to do my job sometimes because of my chronic fatigue. Some days I'm okay, some days I start out really low then I'm okay later, or vise-versa.

Instead I will be keeping things local next year. There are also many things I wants to do to my brand in general. I've been meaning to rebrand and update things for a few years now. I'm about to have the finances to do so, thus I must make the time for it too.

I will be starting a full time job soon, so there goes my time. The travel expense is anther factor. The economy is a whole ass thing right now, thus I'm not sure out-of-state shows are a smart bet for 2026.

Please support the artists in both halls however you can.

A lot of people are also just rushing past the AA to get their photos ops and autographs.
