So 2020 finally ends. I think we can all agree that this year wasn't that great, specially for the reason we all know. Although, for me, I could make one of my dreams true and that is working by doing something I love: drawing. Thanks to you, thanks to the people who support me, thanks to the people who commission me I could make this possible. I would never imagine this could happen so fast. I've quit college twice. Those two careers weren't for me.

I'm from Argentina, and here the situation gets worse every year. Unless you're extremely lucky, it's impossible to work as an artist here, as in, we don't have so many companies that hire people like me. If you're a graphic designer, that could work, but still you need luck for that. And the payment is awful.
And now I'm working as a digital artist. NOT for my country, but for myself and specially for people on the Internet. Still sounds crazy. I always saw great artists getting commissioned daily, and I was like: "Will I ever be like them?"... so here I am. Thanks to this job I was able to buy a lot of stuff I needed: A new drawing tablet, a new PC, clothing, etc. I am more than grateful. Thank you, thank you very much.

Regarding this year, I spent way too much time inside my house. Yes, that was worldwide, but I refused to go outside. I can even count the times I've went outside this year. This is understandable, because in my computer I do many things, and in general I don't like going outside. However, this affected my mental health; intensified my introversion, anxiety and depression. More than once I've felt like it just wasn't worthy. Eventually those thoughts disappeared, but then appeared again, disappeared, appeared, etc, etc. I'm trying to look after myself more now, but it's hard. I know a lot of people also feel like this, so I just want to tell you, you're NOT alone. There are people willing to help you.

Summing this up, I want to say thank you again to the people who support me, thank you. You're all amazing people. Stay safe, please.

Shoppy and I, Julie, wish you a happy new year, and we hope this 2021 will be way better.
