Hello everyone,
Coyote here. It's been way too long since I posted anything on this blog. Crow and I had a major upheaval in August 2020. There was a devastating fire in our area, which wiped out thousands of acres of forest and populated areas. It took a toll on us as well - we lost everything except two carloads full of items and our two cats. We put the cats in the cars first! It's one thing to lose items, but losing creatures that you love is a different matter entirely. We did; however, have to leave our two fish tanks behind.
As far as stuff goes, we lost all our art supplies, the raw leather, the clay, the tools, all the found objects, the vast majority of our sale inventory. That loss isn't something that's easy to come back from because there's so much to find or purchase again. We spent years building our inventory and supplies. We also lost every piece of furniture some which included possessions we'd had since junior high school or before, items that my grandparents made, jewelry, clothing, costumes, theatrical set pieces, books, figurines, and you know, everything. Including the fish from the aforementioned fish tank.
In all fairness, I should have contacted you all sooner by writing something here. My last post was in 2017, and after that our sales went downhill enough that we as a company were barely hanging on. That certainly made a difference in our creative juice flow. That's the thing with artists, we need to have positive reinforcement (I think the vast majority of people like positive reinforcement).
Forgiving the three years that I didn't write leading up to the 2020 fire, after the fire, it took us a while to figure out how to redefine ourselves as artists, and we're still figuring it out. Still, seven years is far too long to allow my once active blog to languish in the virtual graveyard. I'll do my best to update this blog, and in a few months will probably rebrand it to something else. Or maybe not.
Thanks for reading. I hope you'll join us for the next artistic stage in our creative journey. We both have active streams on Twitch.tv, and I'm posting on my Patreon account at least three times a month.
