Proship is not a dirty word

I just want to SCREAM! Proship is not a dirty word or label! It doesn't mean anything BAD! It doesn't mean you're pro-real life abuse, kinks, whatever nonsense people come up with. It's just a silly internet term to show support for people to make fanart and fanfics! Whatever fiction people make, cute sfw stuff, sexy fun stuff, or the dark and painful stuff! It's ALL GOOD STUFF! It all deserves to exist! "But what about..." YES ALL OF IT. ALL OF IT DESERVES TO BE MADE AND EXIST IF THE CREATORS WANT TO MAKE IT. We do not know why people create the things they do. But I know some people need a voice and fiction is the only way they can be heard. It is up to ourselves to curate our online experience using website features like block and mute. Use websites that don't host art you don't want to see. To this day I am still getting abusive messages. People send me anonymous compliments or delete their public messages of support to me to avoid getting caught in the crossfire. I have no idea what I have done to earn this ire. I have no way to face it. No one left to help. I just have to scream into the void. Please protect fiction. We all need it. We all desperately need it now more than ever. No matter how much hate mail you send me or public call outs you post about me, I will scream this from the top of my lungs that you are WRONG. AJD .

YAY SEPTEMBER, CLOVERCOIN IS BACK!

[ Original Patreon Post ] Phew, almost forgot the life updates after doing all those art packs in the other post. So let's catch up with what's happening with CloverCoin! Life has been very very busy since I got back from my mom's funeral. Our dog Junior (rottie) had a previous elbow injury that wasn't healing over and when I got back home we decided to take him to the vet for a second look since the pain meds they gave us ran out. Turns out Junior had big swollen ball of cancer in his elbow and he was never going to regain function in that arm again. He was in so much pain we were really apprehensive on what the right course of action was. But the vets all worked with us since they knew Junior so well from all his previous visits, with their help we managed to get an extra fast amputation surgery scheduled for the infected arm. It was extremely expensive but it gave our dog immediate pain relief while we figured what treatment plan we were going to do next. Originally we all thought it was bone cancer and that he would likely need to be put down to avoid further pain in the very near future even with his amputation. With further testing and investigation of his cancer arm, we found out it was actually a type of blood cancer of his white blood cells. We all assumed if it's blood and fluid that must mean it's everywhere, right? We were wrong AGAIN! Wither further scans we found no further signs of cancer growth in his body, lymph nodes, or organs. With this new information we made the decision as a family to pursue oncologist for Junior and get him chemo / cancer treatments. It drained the rest of our savings account that we've been working so hard for to buy a house next summer... But Junior himself has completely bounced back to the happy dog he's always been. He's eating again, learning how to run and play on his one foreleg, and just excited to still be here. So while it did cost all of my savings, I have to say it's been worth it. With his reviewed case, he went from less than 6 months to live to possibly living 2-3+ more years now. So we're all so happy and grateful to still have our service boy still with us. Now that we're on a routine with Junior and his chemo treatments, I'm also getting back to work on my end! CloverCoin Patreon is back online for September 2024! We're so excited to see so many patrons stuck around and how excited you all are for more art! Thank you!!! I'm currently working on setting up a Bigcartel shop page with all of our stickers and postcard goods. I'll be sure to announce the shop's grand opening here soon as it's all ready. Thank you so much for all of my patrons testing out merch every month with me so we can make this possible! Last big to-do on my list now is that my current desktop Cintiq is not working for me. We had an original Cintiq 22 HD from 2014. But that poor thing died last year. We ordered a new tablet on super sale from amazon but.... We're very unhappy with the product and it doesn't work with my desk or work station. So we'll be taking it down and trying to resell it to get our money back. However this means I still do not have a desktop tablet to work with for online streams and recordings. REALLY BUMS ME OUT! I'm very fortunate that I still have my ipad and it's been working great. So I'm not totally without a tablet for work. But Prov and I will now be making an effort to replace my Cintiq tablet with a new one maybe before the year is over. Ouch my poor savings account, it's already taken such a beating from all the vet bills and now I have to replace very expensive hardware? yuck! So... Lots of money being spent. But overall we're very lucky and we're so happy. I'm just so grateful to have my happy dog recovering really well. I'm glad my ipad works great even after being beat up for past 7-8 years?? Woah! Good job lil buddy. Just... A lot has gone wrong this year. A lot of bad shit has happened. And Prov and I are so damn lucky to be here and have everything we do. So I'm going to keep working VERY HARD to get all this updated, shop posted, commissions completed, and make back every single dime of my savings!!! OR SO HELP ME! >:0 Thanks everyone for sticking it out while we're figuring out every bump in the road. We really appreciate all your patience and kindness. You're all the best and I can't wait to share even more art with you all! AJD . ART

Major news for Junior!

Hey everyone, it's been a little while huh? After my mom's funeral in July, I came home to my dog getting diagnosed with cancer. We spent the next few months getting him treatments and physical therapy. Before his last 2 chemo visits, they did a scan and saw no improvements. They explained to us that he was terminal and we most likely only had 4-8 weeks left with him. Prov and I were both heart broken by the news, but also some what expected this result. This was a big discussion point for us when we were adopting Junior at 6 months old, that most of his breed will die from a type of cancer. So it wasn't a huge shock to see it come out like this. We decided to put patreon on pause for a few months while we spent the last bit of time we had left with our dog. Well time kept going and much to our surprise..? Junior only seemed to improve. He was gaining weight, he was stronger and faster than ever. He very recently has been feeling SO good he's even up to being naughty! Wonderful signs! Junior ate a very hard piece of bread and has been coughing a lot since then. Since the cancer was showing up in his lungs last we tested, we assumed his coughing and sputtering meant it was his "time". So we took him into the vet and check his coughing / xrays just to make sure we're right. And.... Yeah everyone is shocked. Junior's cancer has pretty much disappeared, his lymph nodes are totally back to normal instead of being triple their size? Everyone at the clinic is calling Junior a miracle baby. We were admittedly confused and scared by these results and contacted Junior's oncologist asap to review the scans and make a new app to get checked. And yep, after today Junior is apparently in remission from his cancer. The oncologist was just as surprised as our local vet, they said it's like scans of 2 different dogs. We all just can't believe it! The oncologist wanted to do some more expensive tests but sadly we just can't afford any further bills at this time with no savings. So with a lot of discussion we've decided together to monitor junior and just enjoy every moment we have with him now that it looks like he's sticking around a lot longer than planned. What a wonderful surprise for 2025. I could not be happier! --- Patreon updates:  I was taking a long extended break for the autumn and winter months until Junior's passing. I wanted to have no obligations to stress about while we cared for our two senior dogs who were both having a lot of health problems at once. The terminal one, junior, is no longer terminal? So.... With this new information both Prov and I would like to get all the owed patreon packages together and mail them out this month. My biggest goal I guess for February 2025 is to just get caught up on the package mail out and all of the owed commissions from speedpaint tier. We really need some more income so I need to get back to work on adopts and commissions! Just thank you so much everyone who is cheering us on, we appreciate all the support on and off patreon. We were able to do so much more thanks to all of your support and kindness during these difficult times. I'm very excited to have time to draw with you all again real soon! AJD . ART

STOP COOKING PLEASE

Prov, my husband, has a fun quirk where he really loves to see my reactions to things. Positive things, gross things, and so much more. He eats it up. Well lately he's been really into cooking youtubes and he found some... really gross stuff he wanted to trick me into watching. It brings him a lot of laughter but FOR ME IT'S SO GROSS AND PAINFUL NOOOOOO STOP WASTING FOOD!!! AJD . ART

JULY 2024: TAKING A BREAK

[ORIGINAL PATREON POST] Hey everyone!!!! I had a GREAT birthday month. <3 2024 has been a pretty rough year for us here so far. But I like to think we're pretty scrappy and manage to find all sorts of ways to pull through. During all of life's ups and downs, we've fallen behind on a lot of things online. Keeping up with commissions, getting merch orders out in a timely fashion, and updating the online needs like pillowing-pile, online shop, and even ordering new merch. So I've made the decision to take a break for July 2024 on patreon so I can work on catching up. In this time I'll finish my commission queue, all packages will have been shipped out, make an online store available, and order some new merch - mostly stickers! I'm really looking forward to having this quiet time to work finally. Our landlord told us the bathroom renovations were the only thing he was going to work on this year. So finally means no more interruptions and juggling bad construction workers all day long. I really appreciate all of your amazing support during all these difficult times. We haven't been keeping up but your patience and kindness has really helped hold things together here. Thank you so much, please know how grateful I am. I will work hard to get everything in order!
