2AM Whimsy

I haven’t posted in a while! Since my health entered a rocky stage it’s been hard to keep up with social media activity. I always struggle to post my art in general, but with my mental health and autoimmune issues flaring up and stealing days from me, it’s especially hard to find the energy to post about anything.
The good news- It has been a bit better. Since I’ve last updated, I was able to vend at Cross County Mall and the Mattoon Library, and the book I illustrated the cover for has officially RELEASED!
Such a surreal feeling to see my art on the cover (and endsheets, back cover, dustjacket, and spine hehe) of a published novel!!! So so grateful. 💞
Thank you to everyone for their patience with me as I was learning to deal with uncharted territory regarding my own health. When both my physical and mental health are in the pits, it’s difficult to get creative and keep up with art, as you can imagine.
I have a lot of plans for myself and my art career, but I’ve been forced to accept that my mortal flesh betrays my ambition. (lol) I will keep going, but will pay much closer attention to my condition in the process. ❤
I’ll be at Cil-Con at the Front Street Convention Center in G**s on Sept 11 & 12 from 12-7pm. and my table will have a bunch of totally new trinkets, art, and more! I hope to see you there!
❤ (^-^*)ノ

Hi everyone, this is Lex/2AM Whimsy's partner. I'm writing on behalf of her to let as many people know that her physical health is quite poor at the moment. She has a chronic condition that occasionally will have her be bedridden.
This has been impeding current orders so we want to sincerely apologize for the delay.

She is recovering and starting to get things into motion again; she fully intends to complete everything as soon as she can. We appreciate your understanding and if there are individual concerns, please reach out.

I will do my best to help remedy the situation.
