Happy New Year, but not really. I've been on a decline since January (getting sick, needing dental work, etc.) and only today felt well enough to come back around to the old stomping grounds. Don't know when I'll upload yet; I don't plan these things out too well and you all know the pace I go at. Still trying to finish this project I've been collaborating on for almost 2 years now? Maybe I'll have it done sometime in my generation, geez :/ .

Long time ago ...

my laptop refused to upload files on Newgrounds and I had to cut my losses and moved to better pastures (for the most part). But now, I don't know what happened but..... Yay? I guess I'm back on the platform for however long the site or my computer works for me.

First: Currently Unemployed once more so I have more time to illustrate and animate, however I am unable to upload anything on Newgrounds due to problems with my standard PC. I've been considering replacing it for a long time but have never earned enough money to safely make that transition without hitting bankruptcy. Now that I'm out of work at the moment, a new PC will have to wait.

Second: Even with the PC issues, overall I'm just not as active on Newgrounds as I am on other social media, so if anyone wants to keep up with what I'm doing:

With that the 2010s have came and went, a lot has happened to a lot of people I know and don't know yet most of it is relatively the same. I'm still trying to be a better artist, just that now I'm one with a job. Yes, for the past 5 months I've been working off some stuff and raising a little bit of money on the side, all the while leaving me with less time to illustrate or draw...

But a lot of time to think about what I want to do next.

For now, I think I'll start uploading again, and make up for lost time.

I know I've been pretty inactive on here as of late and there have been infrequent gaps between pieces, I'm unfortunately not like the others who upload a piece of artwork a day and it becomes an instant like among the NG community. However, I do try to keep up and not leave anyone in the dark for too long. Though I would prefer if everyone followed my other accounts (especially twitter) so I don't have to split my focus so much; eh... beggars can't be choosers I guess.

In spite of my whining, I like to thank the 34 of you guys for sticking around as long as you have and should be grateful that I even got this far.

I made a piczel account for streaming if anyone is interested in checking it out: https://piczel.tv/watch/John9Fold

I want to stream today by 1:20 PM EST so come by then. 

If you asked me right about now, "How you doing," I would say "pretty terrible." 

In terms of art, I could be doing better but I am slowly figuring out my own art style. But in terms of my personal life, well...... it could be worse?

Recently, in order to open more opportunities for jobs so I can try to bring in a check every now and then, I applied to UEI for HVAC training to become a technician specialist. It pays good money apparently and my family and I may need some of that. Of course, this did not affect my lifestyle all that much; I still draw and play video games in my spare time.

The problem comes through my finance and at home. TO be brief, I am afraid that I'm about to hit rock bottom long before I graduate and I need a source of income in the meanwhile.

To make my long story short, I'm posting this to remind or mention everyone of my Patreon and Commission Pages which I will link here:

Any help at all is appreciated.

It's been a while but Here I am to actually post something. This time it's a question...... What is by far your favorite toy growing up as a kid? "Why I'm asking," because I want to; no motif, no scheme, no convoluted plan to trap you in my web so I can feast on your carcass like a wido, just a decent question. As far as I remembered, Transformers dominated my toy line-up.

"Dear Newgrounds,

Hello. To anyone asking, No.....I did not kill that man. I haven't seen him before in my life and if you ask me again I shall proceed to anal probe you with a stick I just found.

Sincerely,

Stranger Danger"

Anyways as u can probably tell from the nonexistant fans I have, I'm a nobody and may always be a nobody, but here I am showing u the work I've been cultivating the past 3 years and onward. So I hope you like what you see.
