Thankyou!!! I don't like posting things that aren't art here but I have done some on my blog: natescoloringbook.wordpress.com/tag/pets/

If I’m honest I just sat on the floor and drew the first thing I saw which was my Jurassic Spinosaurus toy lol. I’m so glad you like it!!!

I am so very grateful for the continued support especially with all these changes ongoing and I appreciate you all so much! ☀️

I do apologise to anyone who this might price-out from my work

Once I am making enough to cover my rent & bills I will be doing free art streams at least once a week which will be open to anyone who wishes to join

can no longer afford to continue on with where my current rates are. At the moment I am working 24/7 which is not sustainable for me especially as I want to make sure every piece I put out is the highest quality. Before my next opening my prices will increase from a range of £5 up to £10

Despite being only a week into it I have already over-worked myself. I am very afraid that the result of this will upset people but this means that I will need to be raising my rates 😅 It is very important to me that my work can be accessible for all, but now that it is my only source of income I

me feel but I hope that has it come across

Within 4 days of streaming I have hit Twitch affiliate! I don't really know what this means yet so if there is something you'd like to see from me in particular feel free to let me know!

belonging that has been missing from my life, never have I felt so seen, appreciated, loved - you are all responsible for helping bring back my self-worth again and I appreciate it so much. Again I wish I knew what words to use to express the feelings this has made

for those feelings. I can't even describe the feeling I get that people not only are actively choosing to come to my streams but then also taking the time to talk to me as well. Even though I have only done it for such a short amount of time it has given me such a sense of

the urge to cry ( and normally end up in tears after it ). I have always been relatively isolated in my work - I never was surrounded by co-workers and spent my days at home alone. I do not talk to many people or get approached often, although Lala coming into my life was a huge improvement

usual self this past little while. If I did not have that support I don't know where I would be now so thankyou

On the topic of support, starting streaming on Twitch has been genuinely life changing for me. The support has been overwhelming and every time I stream I have to fight back

in my lifestyle. In this process there have been several times where I doubted I would make it through this event, I have truly been at the darkest point in my life ever, and I want to thank those around me who have gone out of their way to provide support to me while I have not been my

Firstly I do not cope with change & uncertainty well ( this I already knew though ). The loss of financial security has been a ginormous impact on my mental health; I stopped eating, lost my identity completely, and have not been able to function properly for weeks leading up to this major shift
