I've been having A Time recently. My unemployment is about to run out and, even though we'll be ok, I am still stressing. The temp agency hasn't found any placements and, again, I know we'll be ok but it's hard to tell my Panic Mode brain that. So, the freaking out in conjunction with not getting ANOTHER job that I really felt like I was going to get has put me in a weird place, mentally. Therefore, I've been watching a lot of Gill and Gilbert on YouTube and playing Flight Rising and not actually doing anything that might be good or useful.
I've been reading a lot of fix-it fics for The Magicians post season 4. I wanted to draw Quentin because they did him mad dirty and I don't like what the showrunners decided to do AT ALL. So, late last night, I went ahead and knocked it out.

J did manage to maybe network an art-related gig for me, though! There is a firehouse in Seattle that offers retiring firefighters a pencil sketch of them when they first started at the firehouse as a retirement gift. The artist they had on retainer has, himself, retired, and J talked up my art to a firefighter that is teaching a class where she works. Long story short(er) the firefighter really likes my portraits and is going to have me do a test commission to make sure that I can, like, draw a firetruck, and then will quite possibly have me on retainer to do these drawings. J is the absolute best and most wonderful person in the world. I genuinely do not appreciate her nearly enough.
