I'm a Pyrography artist and just finished up a 69 Camaro Z28 burn. Just funny this came up on my feed today.

It just happens to be that I'm one of the life long members.

I really fucking hate seeing how those of us in the #disabled community are treated like afterthoughts. "Oh yeah, this is going to effect our third class citizens, -I mean the crippies, uhhh what I meant was the disabled community, -too."

Anyone can become disabled at any time and w/o warning.

And a new car one. Classic Camaro :)

Until then (my previous post), I continue to wood burn, I continue to hope. Here's some new dragons!

2. Who was going to help us, her bonus she was going to use in part to get us a used car, taken away, and now my car's giving me a Christmas tree's worth of lights and "call the coast guard" levels of oil leak. I'm keeping oil in it for now, but we need help.

I'm trying so hard to not just give up. I feel like I keep nose diving into the deep end of a pool and finding out it was drained on my way down. Get up, dive deeper.

I was hoping to get a chance to get on my feet, to have help getting another car, but the rug was pulled out from under the person↓

I'm not doing well emotionally. Or financially. It's why I've been away. These callous assholes in orange face paint and more money and ketamine than the entire West Coast US population are trying to destroy my only source of income in the form of my disability right when my car's getting worse.

Keep going, Mike Johnson and the rest of MAGA, too.

With me or the car?😅 Mine take up two pages in my doctor's notes lol.

They're listed in detail in my GoFundMe, but it's more than can be reasonably be fixed on a 20+ year old vehicle. Even the oil leak is more than a replacement used car, it's a rear valve seal. There's so much more wrong, too.

I'm so tired of being right and the Reich wing party and knowing what their plans are YEARS in advance and being called a conspiracy theory lunatic until it happens. Then people just roll their eyes and "forget" they heard me say anything about it for five years 🙄

Thank you, I appreciate it! I'm getting a lot more confident.

As far as how I'm doing, no I'm not doing any better. The car's way worse. Took me 4 quarts of oil to drive halfway through town and back the other day, a trip I had to make. I have a procedure for for the 12th, the usual injections

I've been a long time away. Kind of all of social media, really. Just needed time to focus on other things. Still am. I'm working on a new commission for someone and was told by another possible customer that I WAY under charge for my work but hey, I need the money, so...yeah, I take what I can get

Gonna be an interesting Monday.

Why am I looking for some cryptid in this blurry photo? 😅 I do like it, though.

A friend of mine in India sent me a screenshot of his and it said "Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America)".

Kendrick Lamars' concert was amazing! I hear there was a football game that he allowed to happen, too? I don't know. He said "Turn the TV off" so I did. So many messages. I think we all needed a refreshing energy. Keep fighting.

We also finally got around to getting another one finished up for our son. A slightly late Christmas gift. He plays #GenshinImpact and his favorite character is #Furina so he asked me to #woodburn her and my wife to paint it.

Just finished up this commission for someone who worked on the Blackhawk and Comanche helicopters during his service time with the Army! I'm extremely proud of this piece, it took me close to 50 hours to complete and nearly every technique that I know how to do. Customer was extremely happy with it

I have been away for a while but I'm here. The car is back running. Turns out, that issue was a cracked battery terminal so it was an easy fix. The other 67,000,564,332 problems? Notsomuch lol. I'm just trying to keep it going as long as possible while I get something figured out.

I wanted to update that I did manage to get the car back running, the battery terminal was split completely through. I replaced both of them. The negative cable is super tight, zero slack. I'll probably need to replace it down the line. Just gotta keep it going for now & oil in it. That leak is bad!

February 22nd! If you're in the Huntsville, AL area, come on out and support local small businesses and artists at our monthly artist pop-up market!

A very painful one

And please don't message me about how you can promote my GoFundMe for a fee or whatever. I'm not doing that.
