Ever since my last post, a lot has changed.
After months of chemotherapy, my father died last March a week before the start of our worldwide quarantine. I already planned my 3rd animation video script which supposed to be titled "Emergency Fund" how timely but I haven't started doing anything about it. In fact, I haven't felt doing anything lately. My online job just decreased which means less income. Luckily, Paul's work needed a freelance animator so, that takes care of my income problem. And I happened to snatch a "big project" last August which balances the loss on our home renovation that also happened last August.
Now entering our 7th month of quarantine, Things are not coming back to the way they were before the virus. I am so grateful that Paul hasn't lost his job in spite of the economical depression we are experiencing right now. I'm still a freelancer, Thank God! I cannot express that enough. We are pretty much still the same but I'm still not happy. Of course, that whole inside my heart will never be filled again but I am trying to move on that's why I am writing again here at my blog. I'm treating this as if it was my old blog from the olden days (livejournal if you ever heard of that site). Just sharing my feelings, that's what I miss about having a blog. Reading journals from people I don't personally know but somehow I feel connected to them. Unlike nowadays, People are just doing blog to endorse, review a certain product. Vlogging is somehow good but it's filtered and edited in a commercial way. Maybe I'm just old school but one thing is for sure I do love reading more than watching people's life.
So for my project to "get back on that horse again". I would journal my quarantine journey thru blogging. I promise myself to do more ART as in drawing because I did buy myself a pen tablet so I can draw on my laptop. Well, I did draw this beautiful portrait of this couple who will be married this October, it's a commissioned artwork (yes, road to be an illustrator?) so pen tablet well served. My first time doing something like this.
Ever since I became a corporate artist (which I call myself) I think I have lost my signature style. Hoping to find my inner artistry these coming days. I just want to take things slow. Life is so fragile, I am not in a hurry, and as cliche, as it would sound, It's ok not to be ok in these trying times just don't get lost and as for help if you need one.
