Hi everyone! It's been a year since my last journal, so I thought maybe it's time I write a new one and say hi to my new watchers, as there's quite a few of you :) I appreciate any new followers, it's nice to see people follow my art, so hello and thank you all!

As for me, well, I took a break from art for a while, as I had to change jobs. I had a few projects in-between my break. I no longer need to wake up so early and travel 100 km back and forth each day. I get so much more free time after work, it's so much better. I've been drawing again, cus I haven't had so much time before due to my work and constant travels. I'm hoping to get back into my drawing momentum again. There are still tons of other hobbies I have like hiking, geocaching, gardening, but those can wait, I can't really do much when it's so dark outside :D Not a big fan of autumn, it's so windy, rainy, cold and dark outside. Just miserable weather. At least it's brighter with snow outside, hope it snows even more as time goes on.

Personally, I can't wait for autumn/winter to be finally over and have the summer warmth come back, I need my sun! The only thing right now I'm looking forward is the antler shed season, just a couple more months and I'll be hiking in forests again. Y'know, it's funny, but forests here are far more accessible during winter than during any other season. The trees and shrubs have no leaves, so you can see better all around, the foliage is dead, so you won't catch any ticks, and all the swamps freeze over, so it's easier to walk around. There are lots of swamps in my country, so it's nice to go where only animals can during winter time and find any cool places. I've found some suspicious things on my hikes... :D And besides, it's so easier to track animals in snow. I'm no hunter though, I just do it for fun.

Well, that's all from me for now, this draggy will have to put on tons of layers and keep the fireplace going to keep warm during winter. I'll catch you all later, take care and thanks for reading!
