Feb 20 – April 30, too sick to draw
The last few months have been some of my hardest yet, but I’m finally back here, and improving a little bit. I’m still worse than where I started before the symptom flare, but at least I seem to be stabilizing. I have a better understanding of some of the new symptom triggers, and maybe a dozen new symptom management techniques. Thankful for everyone’s kindness and support over the last few months, they really buoyed me.
The other things which helped me stay afloat (barely) included some good art news:
Two Upcoming ILLMARKS Exhibits!
