I've been getting multiple questions about why my page is so tiny while my art isn't that bad. Well... some of you already know this, but I used to have a very popular page on DeviantArt with thousands of followers. It used to have a lot of fanart back then, and original art and of course works against animal cruelty. Especially my works against animal cruelty used to be very VERY popular and I always used to get thousands of likes and hits on them on DA. Sadly an obsessed carnist freak couldn't stand this fact for some reason and after trying to bully me off DeviantArt (which didn't work!) the scary person hacked my account and deleted all of my works, followers and destroyed the entire account. This violent creep also stalked me for many years in the most creepy and sick ways imaginable and still does. Thank goodness I moved in with a friend, so that creep doesn't know where I live now. When I saw someone being bullied, I was always that girl who wasn't afraid to stand up to the bully. This mentality always brought me trouble with bullies, but I didn't mind because in my opinion no price is high enough to prevent me from doing the right thing. I guess the same thing counts for defending animals. One of my friends, basically the most non-violent person I know, had also gotten many death threats from these kind of creepy carnists who came at her doorstep. They threaten to destroy/kill people like us in the same way they kill their animal victims, in order to MAKE us stop speaking out for those who can't defend themselves. My stalker is even creepier than those of my friend. I'm about to finish a book about that scary person's obsessive behaviour. It's called CYBERSTALKER. It's written for the sole purpose of sharing my experience in my defence, since this creep has done a lot of crazy things in my name. I'm going to send all of my friends on Facebook and DeviantArt a free copy of this book once it's out. I'll announce it when it's done. It's amazing how far some carnists go to stop people from speaking the truth.
So yeah, this is why my DA page is so small: I had to start all over again. But I don't really mind. The creep can destroy my page 1000 times, I will simply rebuild it again and again. No amount of creepiness, death threats or other sick behaviour will stop me from fighting injustice in a creative, non-violent, thought-provoking way. As long as innocent victims suffer by the hand of oppressors, I will NOT be silent.

Back!
My goodness! It's been... how many years? I completely forgot about this account! I'm still alive and kicking, but just haven't been able to draw anything because I work 6-7 days a week fulltime and run an animal sanctuary before and after work, and am currently moving 3 things in the same month: myself (broke up with my ex, so leaving), the animal sanctuary (moving it from my ex's house to a field I rent) and the shop (yep, I have opened a physical film & game merchandise store in The Netherlands: www.twila.nl) so I am working almost 24/7. (Free time? Never heard of it!) π
I have been working on a book in-between, of which I eventually plan to draw a Youtube video. A lot of work, I know. But it's one of my largest projects and the first one I'm actually going to send to a publisher. This might also take some time because I want to save for a drawing tablet but I have waaaaay too many bills to pay (I fund my animal sanctuary from my own income and vet costs are killing). I still sell
R.I.P. my vegan webshop
π Sadly my vegan webshop Pupaya did not survive the Corona crisis. (www.pupaya.nl) I really depended on conventions and markets to sell and promote this webshop, but due to corona, there haven't been cons for months. Webshop visits and sales are very little now (yeah, I know it's because I suck at promoting my website, but I don't have the time to learn it, as I have my hands full on other things). You see, this shop was meant to support the animals in my sanctuary: PAWpaya (www.pawpaya.nl), but it has now come to a point where I can no longer sustain the animals with its sales. I will close this vegan shop soon and take up a regular job instead, so I can still support the animals who depend on me. If you still want to get some of my products (vegan books/shirts/keychains etc.), now is the time to order. Because at the end of this month, this webshop will no longer exist.
It didn't go as planned
My job, my 13 art projects, the animal sanctuary, my 2 webshops, commission work... I can't keep up with everything! I'm trying to, but it is just too much to handle for one person. I have recovered from my burnout, but I can't risk getting one again, so I am going to have to postpone some things. And I have decided that this will be the vegan books.
Yes, I am still very passionate about defending animals and the planet against their violent oppressors. But I really can't find the time to draw the comics I make in their defense right now. I can't work on all of my books anymore, the time I have in-between work is simply too little for that
I'm back
I think I finally got over my burnout. It happened when I had to put down one of my favorite animals in my sanctuary. Abuse by her past owner left the rex rabbit with permanent physical muscle damage (due to beating) and mental issues. There was no treatment available, but she lived happily with my group for about 2 years. Eventually, the muscles of 3 legs succumbed and I had to get the vet put her down. I was so sad and realized that I didn't have many photos of her. It gave me the willpower to create some of my own in art-form, and to my surprise, they actually turned out pretty good. I still miss her, but I'm happy that at least she had 2

It's sad to think that this world actually has psychos (too much?) like that...
