Last week (gosh that seems so long ago already) I got to go up and have a nice little chill night with the lovely Prance and Quiver. I'd like to make those art nights a more regular thing. But for now, I'll have to squeeze it in where I can. And soon these art nights will mean I'll be learning how to make fursuits from Quiver. She's absurdly talented, in case you didn't know. I mean, just check this beautiful wolf that she made:

Why can't I get up there more often, well... I'm currently in the process of moving- fast- because my neighborhood went from rough to guns-out-gang-turf-war in the last few months.

Good news is, we (my husband and I) can just pack up our stuff and book it. Bad news, we don't quiiiiiite make enough per month to afford an apartment that won't be in a similarly rough area- yet. I'm working on bringing in more through a very elaborate series of passive and active income streams. More on that later, I suppose. Until we can snag a new home we'll be living with my in-laws. Which isn't as bad as it sounds since I actually get along really well with them. I'm weirdly looking forward to this part of the move. The part I'm not looking forward to is sending my cats to my parents' house to be temporarily adopted. :( I'm going to miss my fuzzy babies.

Part of this move was because I was getting incredibly antsy. I mean, I've been living in my current apartment for 5 whole years! That's crazy. I've never lived in one house for that long in my entire life. I was starting to go a little stir-crazy anyway, so the gun violence was just my final straw. Although I would happily take feeling antsy over feeling the need to hide under my desk every time a firework goes off.

Anyway, on to happier things...

While I was up in Jackanope territory I drew a portrait of Prance while we played a round of settlers of Catan. That game, btw, should be avoided if you value your friendships. Since the entire game is based on chance it's reeeeaaaal easy to end up feeling "Salty" by the end, as Prance would put it.

Here's a sketch of Prance I did while we were hanging out:
