Hi, everyone! I'm reaching out to confirm I'm still in this world existing. I know I've been low-key active on this site lately (rarely uploading art, just faving and leaving short comments on others' art, etc.).
I have been super busy being a full-time working adult, commuting in and out of NYC on a daily basis as I pursue and perfect my career experience in Marketing. In fact, late December I was able to transition into a brand new office and work environment that is easily 1000% more human-orientated and rewarding than my first job out of college.
Anyway, Im still doing nerdy things like doodlig fanart and playing Pokemon Ultra Moon ( btw: litten is my starter). I've been watching toons like Craig of the Creek and Ok K.O. a lot recently (they both make me laugh). The newest thing I've been up to is a fashion-forward hobby: Disneybounding!
To explain, Disneybounding is similar to closet cosplay. It is when you wear clothes that mimic a Dsiney character's color scheme or outfit without dressing in full cosplay. This Popsugar article gives great insight on the impact of this growing community:

I got into this hobby back in March when the official Disneybound Instagram page hosted its annual Disneybound challenge. For the challenge, you have a theme each day such as "Disney Dogs" or "Disney Heroines," and have to share a pic of yourself in an outfit that fits the theme. I originally was going to do a few days during the event, but I ended up having so much fun that I did it every single day.
Here are some Disneybounds to give you all an idea of what I've been doing:
Even though the challenge ended the last day of March, I've continued to do Disneybounding. Heck, I've even hosted 2 theme weeks where people were able to participate if they wanted to. It's been a fun adventure that has left me meeting new Disney-loving friends and even some people who've become fans of my stuff (I've gained about 400 followers on my Instagram, 238 --> 612, to this day since I started the challenge). I've been putting the majority of my free time into this new hobby, expaliaing why I haven't been on here much.
So I'll wrap this up. Long story short: I'm still alive. I will be doing my best to post more art soon. If you want to see more bounding stuff, head over to my Instagram

Lots of love!
