Exciting News!

exciting news!
Remember last week when I mentioned I have finally broken out of my rut and had some exciting news? Welp. I left my job! In all honesty, for the last 4 or 5 months, I was going crazy. I was depressed, sad, un-inspired and unhappy. I'll be starting a new job on Monday and I couldn't be more excited - it's a much better fit and I can't wait to get started! It feels a bit strange, closing one chapter and opening another, but it's the right next step for me. I had been dwelling on it for a while, but it finally feels right.

The above girl is a new drawing I've been working on for the past few months, but had been uninspired to finish. I'll show the finished illustration soon! I'm just excited to finally feel 100% excited and positive again.
