Welp, I know what’s wrong with my eyes. I went in to a retina specialist today and got my diagnosis…as well as a needle in my left eye to deliver medicine. I have diabetic retinopathy. If it’d gone on six months longer, I’d go blind. So my treatment path is another visit in four weeks to get three medications in both eyes at $3k. Hopefully that will get me to November when I can hopefully get insurance and pay for laser surgery to correct the problem.

At least now I know what’s causing the problems. :/ Still not back in my house, but when I am, I will be plowing back into work asap. Edit: Trying to figure out why the image is broken. 🙁

Darrik Watercolor

Here’s the first of the completed watercolors to raise money for Furry Fiesta!  Darrik and a little stuffed alligator.  The link will take you to the art gallery for a bigger view, just keep in mind that the original is 4 x 6 and I have a cheap, somewhat old scanner.  I’m going to see about setting up some sort of ‘post vote’ thing as well since I might reink some of these digitally if the design is popular. – Tiff

Furry Fiesta 2011

I’m currently working on getting enough money together to pay for my table at Furry Fiesta.  At the moment, it’s one of the only two conventions I will be doing next year that is … if I can come up with the $125 by the end of this month.  I have several 4 x 6 watercolor pieces that I had intended to use toward gas and groceries, but this is a little more pressing.  They’re inked and I’m hoping to get to coloring them after my comic work today.  ( Moving the sites and then redesigning them so they weren’t messed up took a lot longer than I wanted it to take…  )  I have one of Darrik, Vincent and Darius.  Darrik’s kinda young holding a stuffed alligator.  Vincent’s sitting in a window looking out, like one of the first images I did of him … and Darius is painting on the walls as a cub with a ‘Don’t spank me, I love you.’ expression.  Yeah.. I’ve had that look from Kim.   First come, first serve, pay what you like as long as it’s over $25 (and include shipping to wherever you are).  (Yes, I also have those three commissions I need to get done inked and am in the process of coloring them… two are .. big.) I really enjoy Furry Fiesta.  It’s well run and friendly .. and local! 😀 – Tiff
