Well I've got to say 2023 was mixture of terrible and great, mainly terrible toward the later half.

I went to Magfest for the first time and it was such and awesome experience I wish I did sooner. I then went to TMG and met so many great people there. The Yestercades meetup organized by @brandbuizel and hosting the Newgrounds Panel at Derpy Con with @septicsebi and @nicksenny was amazing thank you again and I'm so happy @wegra @tamag0 @disconnecty @studiosnowlion was there as well.

The shitty parts, my Grandma, my Aunt, and, My cousin all passed away within just two months apart. And i've been struggling for the past 6 months trying to find another job and had to settle with working part-time at Fedex.

I am grateful to Newgrounds community for making these meetups possible and take my mind off of the shitty things for a little bit.

Also shoutout to @deucelegoose and bnzmaster who I saw at Magfest this year

My plans for 2024: Honestly, since 2020 I've learned you can't really plan for anything. BUT since it's difficult to find a job in this economy and it seems half of the jobs I apply for are either ghost jobs or just the same job that's been reposted for over a month on LinkedIn, I've almost just given up on finding a career for this year.

So instead I'm going to focus more on making more art, animations, and being more active on Newgrounds since it's the only thing that keeps me going. If anyone is interested I'll also do comissions. I'm thinking starting cost will be around $40 for a profile picture.

I'm going to do TMG again this year, I also plan on going to Kogaracon, Otakon, Colossal East, DerpyCon, and AnimeNYC this year and maybe do an art table at one of them. I'm also planning on hosting a NG panel again possibly at Derpycon again, if not maybe Colossal East.

Thank you all who have supported me and continue to support me, I strive not to disappoint this year.
