the end?
2023 june 22 05.47
So... for those of you who follow the goatbunny club instagram page, you know that I am closing down my physical sub tiers and stepping away from my art career indefinitely. Here's the post for those of you who didn't see it or don't have access to it:
But yeah... I basically had no voice on Tuesday and following the first Mural Fest weekend and chalked it up to laryngitis from all the talking/pollen/smoke exposure for 10-15 hours a day for 3 days straight. There was no sign of it getting better so I decided to drop out of the second weekend for fear of making it worse. It was a good move since it pretty much rained and was shitty weather for a chunk of it. I ended up driving back to the US on Thursday night so I could just sleep in my own bed and recover in peace since there was no way I was seeing friends or taking care of stuff I needed to do in town while I was in Montreal. I slept through the rest of the week and was only really feeling myself on Monday, although I was still very exhausted and napped a good chunk of the day. My voice was mostly back Tuesday with a bit of a raw throat. I'm feeling mostly better now but I figured I'd go back to typing since I am still having issues with video on here.
I have thought a lot over the past week and a half and I think my decision to step away from art as a career is still the best decision for me. I still have a bit of anxiety about what I'm going to do financially, but I'm hoping the last 5 events I'll be doing this summer helps out. I and definitely saving money by not restocking anything. I will pretty much sell off what I can at the final 3 markets and I guess I'll find a way to bundle stuff after that for an online sale open to you all.
I guess I won't get into why I'm stopping but for any of you who have been around for a while know I've been struggling to do the full-time artist thing for quite some time now. It's feels like it's the right time to stop, honestly. I thank you all for your support over the years and hope to some day pick up art again for the pure enjoyment of creating. Until then, I hope you all take care of yourselves. It's definitely been... a time.
