Hello again

1 min read

Hey there, don't imagine anyone's really going to read this, but I wanted to clear off the old journal from my home page and provide a little explanation to anyone wondering why the sudden burst in activity.


Guess I just really miss DA and wanted to still get around to updating and keeping my art around on here. So if you're watching there might be a bit of steady incoming art from the last few years coming into your inboxes. At least until I catch up to 2022.

Just trying to make a myself at home here again, since this is where all my nice scanned art goes in the end.


If you're curious in more quick and dirty art and life updates I can be found over on instagram @aprii.h

And if you feel like supporting me or are interested in some of the prints, stickers, or other fun things I make, check out my Ko-fi [ https://ko-fi.com/aprilh5 ] or Storenvy [ http://jukeboxlemonade.storenvy.com/ ]

It has been a looooong time.
Sorry, got myself pretty busy working to finish up my last semester at school. Don't think it helped that I got out of the habit of scanning all my drawings to post them. But I'm a new grad, all done with school and entering the new year fresh off of vacation. This girl is ready to attack this year with goals and ambitions!!!

That said, get prepared for a flood of stuff, from the silly sketches to the lovely line art, I am literally scanning it all right now.

And to any new visitors coming by post-SacAnime; Hiiii! Thanks for stopping by! :D

Hey there, update time~
It's been like two months since the last one right?
So, in good news: My bros and I are all moved in to our new place, already starting to get some bills in! I'm 3 weeks short of finishing up the semester of school and after this semester I only need to complete my Fall courses to graduate!!!
In less good news: Money is a tight. Full-time student does mean less time for work, especially considering my hours have been historically low recently. I'm trying to make myself available to take more hours, but it depends on being called-in as well as weather or not it conflicts with my school schedule and projects. This doesn't bother me too much, I have an amount save before the move, but that may deplete quicker than I anticipated... It does postpone my plans to get my storenvy back up and running with new items.
My printer broke down about a month before the move and while homework-wise I was okay using the school printers for school stuff, I'd really like to save for a nice photo printer for prints and art projects. Preferably one with scanning as that also died with the old printer. (The school has scanners in some areas but they look dated so I'll have to test them some day...)

Generally things are still going pretty well, I'm keepin' positive!
That said and done, commissions are up and open if you feel like helpin me out~. I do have a bit of time and soon, once the semester is up, I will be able to open up more time and slots for them! Remember, I'm always up and ready to hear your ideas and answer questions.
In getting stuff up and running on storenvy, I may aim to make more traditional pieces and originals to sell on it, as well as look into a few local printers in the meantime. I've been working on a set of stickers I'd like made, and I have an idea to revamp and make more cute some of the surplus stickers from before. If you have any requests for things I could make to sell, those are also welcome.

Honestly I'd just love some comments and chit-chat going, I have been on radio-silence for so long. I'm surprised I missed social media this much!

See ya around~!

Hello hello, felt like it’d be nice to make an update. Normally don’t feel obliged to but some big changes are comin’ in my life!

School’s been picking up, but going well in my opinion, there’s been lots of reading and writing work. I am applying to graduate soon, after I double check with a counselor that I’m on track. I thought I would graduate with little to no debt, but that will likely change.

This is because my parents are moving away, my dad is getting a new job out of state and so my brothers and I will be moving out of the home and letting them get on with their lives. We’re super excited for them and for the most part we’re all employed and mostly done with school. We are able to take care of ourselves at this point. The Sibs and I will be getting our own place together so I think we’ll be good, we’ve always had each other's backs and we get along well. That being said, we got to coordinate our move out within about 1-2 months… Which is wow. I’m not even to midterms yet so it’ll be stressful to say the least, but maybe also a nice exciting adventure?

Guess I’m mostly writing to note to y’all that the drawings and updates will really slow down. School and this move are gonna have top priority. I will still be making art, I can’t really stop myself there because it is the best way for me to keep sane and chipper! I just might not have the energy or facilities to update as often, save for the snapshots for instagram and tumblr, since that is significantly easier and because I don’t have scanner right now… (I will get one when we move)

Right now we’re still shopping around for a place. I can still send out orders and make commissions for the time being. So if you have some cash to spare (or time to help me share this) it’d be nice to do some extra commissions or send out some orders while I still can.

Remember commissions prices will be going up the last day of February. So right now the prices are a real deal, get in on them!

And in order to move less stuff to the new place, everything on my storenvy will be 30% off with the code “HomeSweetHome. This sale will be active until we start the actual move, when I will have to close the store

Hope everyone else is having an interesting 2017! Here’s to good luck the rest of the year!!!
