My work has been moving pretty slowly this last month while I'm getting used to some new medications.  I want to thank all my current clients for their patience as I'm now starting to get back to drawing again.

In the meantime, I am running behind on rent and other expenses.  If anyone would like to commission something with the understanding that it might be some time before I can begin work on it, I'm happy to add new names to my commission queue.

I don't like to put out the hat for donations, but if anyone would like to donate to my Ko-Fi, that would also be a tremendous help in getting back on track: https://ko-fi.com/unimpressive/

this is your occasional reminder that i have a patreon: https://www.patreon.com/kasran

this month i've resolved to start using it more consistently. i haven't written a good summary of rewards yet, but my current goal is to write weekly posts discussing gamedev/programming projects, and also release a new piece of music once a week. i'm not quite there yet, but if you want to toss some dollars my way while i get the habit down, any support will be appreciated!

we talk of nature as such a spectacle
of green leaves and amber grain
and joy and poetic melancholy

but the wild world does not perform for us

it's dead branches twisting and reaching
over bare mulch and brown grass,
a weed through the cracks defiant
and a wrap of sticky silken longing
where something fanged waits to lash out
