Today I decided to just clearly tell what's going on on my side. I wasn't here for long and I was absent most of the time the past years.


I'm fighting with serious mental health issues - recurring depression. Some days the sun is shining, I could plant trees all over the meadow, and some days it's just hard to do anything else than trying to not get drown by rotating thoughts.

Last year in autumn I searched for professional help for the first time, after fighting for over twelve years on my own. Since than it's getting better. Very slowly, very small steps, but it's getting better. I enjoy every day while I'm in a good mood and make those days becoming more and more.


Every depression is unique, just as the people who suffer from it. Those who had or have it, know that. It's not just "someone is depressed and lying around somewhere, doing nothing", it's about things that happened in the past you couldn't deal with til now. Old feelings, old problems, old wounds - maybe a job that drowned all of your energy, on top. Honestly, you can't understand what it means to have depression - til you experience it yourself.


I don't write this to be pitied by others. I just want you to understand why I went inactive a long time ago. Why there was less and less art or updates on my book.

Right now, since last year autumn, I was - artwise - able to draw again some sketches or work on the english translation of my first book. But recovery and my health are the most important to me and it most probably will take years to recover significantly.

I won't make any promises for new art. When I created something new, I'll share it. That's all. No deadlines.


If you like to get some more up-to-date information, small sketches or just random posts about what I'm doing (or games I currently play), you can check out my Twitter:

Take care and stay healthy. Be kind to yourself.

Good morning my dear watchers,

I'm really glad I can tell that my first book "Diaries - Schatten vergangener Kriege" can be purchased in German language from Amazon and some other online shops now!
Go check it out here: www.amazon.de/Diaries-Schatten…
It's available as hardcover or as eBook.
They provide a reading example, too.

You also have the possibility to order it directly from me with a dedication of your choice and my signum. Shipping costs will be paid by the customer.
Just send me a note if you're interested.

I'm happy when I received first arriving messages within the last week and want to thank all people who shared and spread the word to tell others about my book.
For you, it may be just some words or just a sharing of a journal, for me, it's a really big help and I appreciate every single one more than you could maybe imagine.

Thank you for all your support and all your help to make this come true!


Yours
