My
dear friend, @eilupt, did this beautiful and fun portrait of Henry for
me. I really think it captures his playful and curious personality;
Eilupt always does such creative work. If you are interested in hiring
her, she is currently taking pet portrait commissions for $10(US).
Please check out her instagram for more information and other samples of
her work.
More detail later, but my beloved Henry needs urgent surgery. It’s estimated to be $1700, not including transferring him to the Emergency Clinic for continued care.
There’s no time to start a gofundme. If ANYONE is interested in donating or commissioning art from me to help cover the cost, PLEASE MESSAGE ME.
More information about what is happening in alternate post. For those asking, I don’t have Venmo, but I do have PayPal. I’m happy to accept any donations or requests for commissions, though I probably won’t be able to fulfill them until Henry is out of surgery and stable. Please PM for my PayPal information or with any questions.
I just wanted to say a big, public thank you to those who have donated already. We’ve raised $410 as of 6pm on 9/21/19, and I’m looking to raise $2500 to cover the surgery and emergency clinic treatment/observations by Tuesday, 9/24/19 - the day of the surgery. Payment is due at the time of services, of course, which, having worked in veterinary medicine, I totally understand, but, God, does that make it more difficult - especially because I am between jobs at the moment.
Please help me continue to spread the word, and please feel free to reach out to me with any donation inquiries or interest in commissions.
I feel quite insensitive reposting this while our Star Trek family is reeling from the loss of Aron, but I hope my dear friends and followers can understand why I am doing so.
It’s now Sunday, 9/22, and we are at $410 (Thank you!!!) of my $2500 goal for Henry’s surgery. I will continue to keep you posted. <3

So, I know fuck all about Transformers, aside from them being Robots in Disguise, but I got a commission for Megatron. I decided to try something new and go kind of heavy on the markers and you know? I don’t hate it.
ANYWAY.
I’m still doing the flash sale on commissions. One character drawing in crayon/marker for $15 or two for $25. Message me if interested!
I’m in California doing my internship. It’s been a great experience so far, but it is unpaid. Bills are starting to get a bit behind and today I got an unexpected invoice for a doctor’s appointment.
So, I’m doing a flash sale on commissions!
$15 for a crayon/marker portrait of your favorite character or $25 for two!
Non-Star Trek fandoms are welcome, though I might not be as familiar with the characters. Does not include a physical copy of the drawing.
PM me if you’re interested and please feel free to signal boost.

Things have been pretty hectic and stressful here.
My contract at the zoo ran out and yesterday was my last day. I’ve been there in various capacities for three years and I really am so proud to have been part of such an amazing team. It was hard to say goodbye to the animals, and though I didn’t get the permanent position back in March, I’m hopeful that another opportunity may come up before too long.
In the meantime, I’ve applied to several zoos across the country and have already heard back from a really great sounding zoo/sanctuary that focuses on North American wildlife.
I’ve been offered a hand tailored internship at a beautiful zoo in California, and while I do think that with my experience I am well beyond doing an internship, I am excited about the chance to work in an incredible region of the country with new people and species I don’t yet have experience with. Though it’s unpaid and I will probably have to go into a bit of debt to do it, I’m certain that these people appreciate my skill-set and will teach me many new things - they basically molded their existing, less involved internship to accommodate my skills and knowledge, and even changed the hours and dates to help me save money. I’m scared about the financial aspect, but just so jazzed to have this new adventure and start a new chapter. I’m sure it will also help me pump up my resume and find a permanent position at a reputable facility.
I’m also use this break (of sorts) to invest more time in my business. As you saw in previous updates, in addition to zookeeping, I’m also working as a consultant for Pure Romance. As I said before, it’s going to be such a pleasure to share this journey with all of you. Sexual wellness is all about education and empowerment, and I hope you guys will let me help you on your own journeys in that regard. I’m always available to answer questions and make recommendations, no judgement and discretion is guaranteed.
If for any reason, you DO want to reach out to me regarding my Pure Romance business, but don’t want your inquiries connected to your Tumblr handle, you can also contact me by email (see business card below) and I’ll never know who you are on social media.
I’m also planning on keeping art commissions open, though I don’t think I will have time produce any prior to my drive to California. I’m hoping to head out around June 7th-10th. If any of you guys live near I-40 and want to let me and Henry crash on your couch overnight so I don’t have to pay for a hotel room, please private message me. As much as I’m looking forward to this internship, I really have to save money where I can, as well as earn where I can.
For the first time ever, I’m going to say that donations are welcome. My last paycheck will be next Friday and that is a very terrifying thought. If you’d like to help, private message me for details.
Anyway, trying to focus on staying positive and learning from these new experiences! I’ll keep you updated as much as I can, my friends. Feel free to share this post around.
I am sorry to say I got some bad news today. I did not get the permanent position at the zoo that I have been working so hard for. That being said, my current contract will be up in about 6 weeks and if I don’t find other employment, I am really going to be in a tight spot. I also just found out I need some dental work that’s going to be around $200.
Of course, I am always open for commissions, but now would be a great time to get one if you’re interested.
Here is the link to my original information and what options I offer. I also take commissions for short fanfics/drabbles and basic GIFs.
If you would be so kind as to signal boost this post, it would be much appreciated. Feel free to PM me with any questions!
