Why the hiatus?

2 min read
Ok so for anyone who is curious about why we dissapeared for a few years, here is our answer.  Raven (Eric) and Fox (Amber) got married in September 2013 and then just days after our first wedding anniversary our first baby, our son, was born.  We were living in a small apartment at the time so we had to sell a lot of our supplies and convert the art room into the baby's room.  But not even half a year goes by and I was pregnant with our second child.  She arrived in January of 2016 and at that point we had both a 1 year old and a newborn.  Just a few months after my daughter turned one I unfortunately lost my job of four years and could not get unemployment.  I ended up being unemployed for six months and during that time we started doing small craft shows in the area and at farmer's markets to help with money.  While I am now working again (two jobs at that) we decided to continue the art studio for now.  But with children and other employment we will be scaling back to maybe a handful of conventions a year.  But in all seriousness we all missed doing conventions and making art.  So we are continuing with limited space, but we're making it work.  Then we finally started pulling in enough income to apply for artists alleys.  Now we're accepted into Jafax this year and applying for Grand Rapids Comic Con.  I hope to update the site with our new work soon, and to see some of you at conventions again.  We're happy to be back doing what we love.

Hey Guys, sorry we didn't write a journal for ACEN.  After Shuto we had to recover quickly and get ready for ACEN so this is also a kind of shout out to ACEN and all the fun we had there.  We met a lot of cool people and got to sit next to our freinds at V6 Studios.  Love it everytime we can go there and see them ^,^  Had a blast and kind of had a hard time getting back up and going after that.  Next weekend is Jafax.  We always have fun out there, and hope you guys will stop by the booth and say hi if you're out there!
