Excellent work!

I'm not really doing art at the moment, however. Every now and then I shoot something good, but since I became a mom, I rarely do art or photography. I mostly just work from home and take care of my little one

Oh, wait, I apologize! I thought that you meant the English font in large letters. Now I realize that you mean the handwriting off to the side.

My best friend and I developed our own little English-based language years ago so that he and I could write to each other in a journal we shared. We call it Egaugnal.

I'm so sorry, but I wasn't using a special alphabet I just made it up as I was drawing. You are welcome to make something similar on your own work.

It does! But it's not me. Must be the good twin.

I'm just starting out with the art thing. May as well, right? I put enough of my life on hold with the endometriosis and the hysterectomy. It's time for me to do something I want to do! I've got an art show at a SF con coming up soon-ish, and I'm trying to get pieces together for it. (Definitely Circe and Hathor) I've had a couple of commissions lately, and I'm hoping that continues. I'm taking the time now to find a career as an artist, although I might have to get something else so I can pay the bills.

I did sign up for Facebook... you on there?

I found a girl who I'm really happy with. Her name's Steph, and is a great lady. She's 25 (yes, still robbing the cradle) and pragmatic, practical, and not an artist of any sort. She's been just what I need. She's supportive and understanding when I get a little nuts.

Sadly, I've been on the losing end of the depression battle for years now and am working on being able to get those little things in life that should be simple. I keep looking for the right meds and keep fighting, though! Some days are better than others, but I've a good support system.

Mom has her Coyote webcomic going strong and she's also started putting up Duncan and Mallory on Radiocomix.com Sometimes I don't know how she does it!

Much love to your and yours.

How is your darling little girl?

I'm so sorry about the endometriosis. It's getting too common now, isn't it? I know so many people who have had it. I'm almost angry. Surely they can figure out what's causing it all all of a sudden. Any plans to adopt in the future or are kids just not for you? I've thought of adopting. I just love children. If you did, I know you'd be the awesomest mom ever

Yeah! I'm on Facebook. You can find me under either of my names. I listed myself as Amber deSosa Seber just in case anyone was searching my maiden name. I never check Dev. Art, so it's better to message me over there. I never check FB at all, but they e-mail me when I get a message. I'm on Livejournal if you are over there. I post daily.

Still robbing the cradle, huh? That's the Amy we know and love! How long have you two been together? And where are you living now?

I know what you mean about the depression. I was depressed most of my life while living there. It started to get really bad toward the end when we lost our house. That was when we decided to move to Hawaii. Everyone told me that moving would never make it better, but you know what? It did! David and I were both deeply depressed, but now we are 100% better. Just had to get away from Texas. That place is horrible. Too hot and we had to live indoors with never enough sunlight. You had to buy things just to have fun. It's better now. I feel so much better. I'm so glad we moved to the cooler weather and sunshine. There is beauty just everywhere and everyone is so nice and happy. I hope you can find what it is that makes you feel better. I'm glad you have a good support system. I wish I could help. I feel so useless to everyone all the way over here.

Aryquin is doing great. She's just started walking (very very late) and she's learning to recognize numbers and colors right now. I've got photos and video up on our family blog here: [link]

I hope things get better and keep in touch! I talk to Heather and Jimmy all the time still. I think about you a lot. No really. A LOT.

Lots of love!
-A

Yaaay! HI! How have you been? I haven't had much time to do my own art lately. I own my own graphic design business and dang, people are just wanting stuff left and right. I've been so busy. It's good, I guess, but also irritating.

I did start on a new coloring book this week and I hope to have it published soon. I have three others, but the originals are all back in TX, so I haven't sold any in a while.

Great to hear from ya! What's going on in your neck of the woods? I looked up your mom recently and it seems she's working on getting her comic up online, yes?

Thank you very much

I was also not able to afford a midwife, but I found two who worked together who wanted to do my prenatal care for free. I wanted an unassisted birth, though, so I asked them not to be there for that. Even after insurance costs, hospital births are often much more expensive than midwives.

Aloha!

Wow, maybe I should try to find the means to get a midwife with my next child.
