My Journey Back: A Story of Rediscovery and New Beginnings

After two years of silence, I'm finally back! It’s been quite a journey, and I want to share it with you. In 2019, I started sharing my artwork, hoping to make a living from it, but soon, my art became a means to an end, feeding into unhealthy habits. I grew lonely, overwhelmed by self-doubt, and I lost sight of what I truly loved.

At my lowest, I even said goodbye to my beloved dog, Fye. That moment was a wake-up call—I needed help. I took a step back, traveled, found inspiration, and reconnected with myself. One of my biggest milestones was fulfilling a childhood dream of traveling to Japan, which reignited my passion and curiosity.

Now, I’m in a better place. I’m not chasing perfection anymore, just enjoying the process. I’m focusing on what brings me joy, including conventions where I love connecting with all of you. And with a fresh mindset, I’ve reopened my shop with new prints and launched a passion project, Mochi the Sad Shiba.

Thank you for your support during my absence. I hope my story resonates with those of you going through something similar. I’m excited to see where this journey takes us next—let’s discover it together!
