Hey yo. Time to re-address some shit that's been goin on. Hopfully for the last time. So there's been a resurgence of my call-out from about 2 years ago now. For those of you who don't know: I was called out for gross pedo loli art and gross shit. This was 2 years ago.
Over the past year or so I've been focusing on my mental health, my family's physical health ( I act as a nurse to my 70 year old mom with copd and back issues) and general life shit. I haven't focused on my art career in like 8 years because of it.
I'm not 'in the industry" I had one internship in like '11 and fucked off to deal with life shit. If you haven't noticed, all I have time for is pencil sketches. I don't even have a proper work station to work from, and haven't in years.
Over the past year or so from my ex's callout post, I've gotten death threats on and off, a lot of 'die pedo' messages, and general stress from it all. Case in point shit like this in my dms and whatnot:
I'm not a very open guy. I used to hide away and hermit away from anxiety a LOT. Tried to OD several times in my life. In recent years I've been trying to be more transparent and open about how I feel. Posting my opinions online more, etc. My art is my only healthy outlet
All that being said, anyone who's only just finding out is yelling at someone already trying to correct themselves. This is the final line I'm drawing about this subject 'cause I'm tired of it:
I do not support or condone pedophilia. I do not support the harming of children, or anybody. I am in the belief that gross fictional art is in fact gross, and 'can' be harmful, but since my call out I have stopped, reflected on my mentality, and am trying to grow from there.
I'm not here to convince you. Believe what you want. If you think I'm some kind of serial killer because of some slanderous shit you heard online, go for it. I can't please anyone. And really, the only one I'm trying to make happy is myself. Any following I get is a bonus.
and I do appreciate any support I do get. Those who show interest in me or my work I try to open up to as much I can. But art right now is a hobby for me. I have a dying mother to take care of, and my own mental health. I already go to therapy.
I also live in nyc while there's a damn plague to deal with? I'm not even looking for sympathy or respect. Hate me all you want, but the fact of the matter is, I'm some stranger online to you, and you don't know me or what I support. You can only take word from online.
So take that as you will. This is my absolute last message on this subject. I will continue to draw and post my art, and be healthy going forward as I have been in recent years. My mental health is being taken care of, I don't support pedophilia, I'm here to make art. Thanks.
