  • Hello Beautiful Creatives,
    I left RUclips for a couple of months without saying goodbye and I wanted to share with you in this art vlog what happened, why I left and what to expect going forward. I continued to create content for my Patreon members during that time so in this video I decided to flip through a bunch of my sketchbooks to share with you what I have been up too over the past couple of months. I hope you enjoy these sketchbook tours! All the sketchbooks I show in the video are linked below 👇

      I lost my head at 80 and got a Shiba puppy, but she has been both a nuisance and a blessing… keeping me more alive. Happy for the additions to your artistic life, but totally relate to the loss, the gap in your life that your mother leaves. It leaves one feeling ‘orphaned’ in a most unexpected way. It will take time, so give yourself that space when you need it. Hugs. (As a senior, I cannot afford your Patreon so am grateful you did this review.)

    I am a,so a RUclipsr artist with a chronic illness and have been disabled for many years. It is funny because I can relate to the new dog in the studio thing. My dog was into everything. He’s now over most but not all of that and now my problem is he is impatient and he wants to be in my lap with me holding him constantly. That makes it very difficult to paint!

    My condolences to you and your family. I also lost my mother recently and both of my younger brothers passed away unexpectedly within 5 months of each other so all 3 within 15 months.
    I’m a painter and my business was my photography and I just couldn’t take new work with my photography clients even though they tried convincing me it would do me good. Good intentions but no.
    My brother was an amazing painter and the only thing good-if anything can be good from a loss is that I finally made the transition to full time painter where I have 2 degrees in and left photography.
    It slowly comes back and art does heal so we are fortunate there.

My Dad passed when I was 9 so I’ve always felt like he was watching over me. I think our family members would be proud that we have taken our grief and used it to grow ourselves. Congratulations on your transition into the art world!

    I am so sorry for your loss. My condolences 🙏 Same here on my end, lost my Mom last April suddenly also. And months before she passed, my dog passed. So, my Mom told me to find myself another dog because she saw how depressed I was. I found one and my Mom paid the adoption fee for my tiny chihuahua, whom I named Presley. A month before my Mom went into the hospital, she said, "See you now have Presley so you won't feel alone"😢 Little did I know Presley was my last gift from my Mom and I will always cherish her. And yes it was work house training a puppy while grieving but Presley also saved my life. Lost 45 lbs because I had to walk her, she was chewing everything in sight! 😅 Just wanted to share and thank you for sharing. So, happy you're back!

      Oh my gosh, the parallels between what you and I have gone through are so similar! After Niko died I didn’t think I’d be able to ever get another dog. My mom knew that we were picking up our rescue pup the day that she went into the hospital. She never got to meet Alana in person, but I feel like there’s a connection. I wish RUclips allowed my viewers to post photos because I’d love to see everyone’s dogs lol. thanks so much for sharing your story with me. 🙏💕🐶

    Condolences and give yourself some credit- taking a break is not leaving. My fave YTers post 5-6 times a year. Sure- they don't have patreons so they don't have committments- but you come and go as you wish. You only "leave" when you delete everything. Don't let anyone make you feel like you constantly have to pump out videos to be a part of the community.

      Thanks for your condolences! I have a few RUclips friends that are leaving YT as they age out, but I’ve never heard of anyone deleting their content after they leave, that would be sad. It felt good to leave for a while and was what I needed to do. The comments have been overwhelmingly supportive, which I’m grateful for.

      @@BeginnersMind-ArtMind I’m not on insta gram. One is 13 anthem other is 8. One mostly black and brown. The other is darker than the fawn color in yours. The 13 year old has a bit of Jack Russel in him. That dog could jump so high. He’s the smartest dog we’ve ever had. One thing to beware of is the spine. They’re king and need to be supported when lift. Plus if you can reach her to use steps to the bed couch it will help. Have fun with your sweet puppy.

      Absolutely! 👍🏼 I will definitely make sure she doesn’t eat any art supplies. I use nontoxic “hues” for the heavy metal heavy hitters. Still, plenty of stuff that she needs to stay away from in the studio.

    I don’t what to be a Karen. I am person with a major disability ( stroke). My thing is I’m on fixed income A lot of us can’t afford patreon. Due economic conditions and art supplies. I felt for long time you don’t really appreciate your RUclips followers. I see everything about patreon

      I can’t begin to tell you how much your remark hurt my heart because I always tell my RUclips viewers how grateful I am for them. The feedback I get from viewers is always so positive and filled with gratitude over the hard work that I put into creating these free videos. Over 85 % of my RUclips viewers consume my FREE video content without even subscribing or clicking like so they are not even supporting all of the effort and expense that I put into my video making. Running a RUclips channel is an incredible amount of work. I am disabled and live on a limited income. Because of the disease I have with my mast cells I have allergic reactions to a multitude of things including the food I eat, the clothes I wear, the products I use and everything in the environment around me. I am in pain all the time and struggle with crushing fatigue & depression. I am rarely able to leave my house and when I do, I tend to be sick for about a week after exposure. Since I’m no longer able to work outside of my home I created a Patreon to generate income. I charge $5 a month for my Patreon, that’s less than a cup of coffee a month for a ton of high quality video lessons that would cost hundreds of dollars if they were sold separately as classes. That helps pay for my medications and medical bills that are not covered by insurance. My Patreon income also goes towards groceries. Such a hurtful comment to read during a time of loss & grieving. Please try to have some empathy for others with disabilities that, like you, are struggling and working hard to support themselves while still trying to give of themselves to others to help make the world a better place. There are nearly 300 videos that you can watch for FREE on my RUclips channel. That’s free content that I create every single week and give to people that can’t afford Patreon.
