Hello! If you've found yourself here, that means you've seen that I've been advertising this Patreon & Ko-fi with my declining health in mind. I'm currently suffering from severe chronic joint pain. My condition has steadily gotten worse over the past 3-4 years, with it now affecting my wrists, hands, elbows & shoulders. Due to various medical failings, my condition has only been estimated on, with diagnosis' changing as my condition has declined. I still do not have a proper diagnosis for my condition. With COVID, any investigation into my health has come to a stand-still. Evidently, this affects my work. I now have to take up to 10-14 full days off during the month due to my pain. To the point where using a keyboard is painful. This is something that I can't afford to do, especially being a freelance illustrator. Now there is only a finite amount of work I can do. This has been a lot to take in, and has put into question my future as an illustrator. It's terrifying to think that it's something I may have to give up, as well coming to terms with this condition disabling me. My commissions will still be open, but I'm now in hopes that this Patreon + Ko-fi will subsidise some of that income. Any donations and subscriptions are a big help towards this. It's one less bill to think about, one less food shop to worry about spending. Thank you.
