Partial abandonment of this blog

Back in the days when I started this blog, blogs were very much a thing. Since then, social media have taken over a lot of the role blogs used to play. This happened with me, anyway: I nowadays post my artwork on several social media platforms, and I don't seem to have much else to say anyway. 

I have therefore decided it's hardly worth posting all the stuff here as well. I will continue to update the Books Page whenever new books become available, but will probably no longer come post every little thing I draw or paint here. My social media and other links can be found on my Link Tree, but I'll also put them below.

Social media:

I post sketches and photos and stuff on Cara

My Facebook account was deleted out of the blue for "non-compliance with community standards", despite the fact that I never posted anything more spicy there than landscape paintings and wildlife photos. This tells me Meta now does all their moderation via AI. I will no longer be doing any business with them, and have abandoned my Instagram account. 

Commercial:

Every now and then I upload something that might make for a nice print to Redbubble.

I sell originals from my Yaga Shop. 

Other:

I upload photos and artwork to my galleries on DeviantArt. Incidentally, I do not mind if artists use any of my photos for reference.

In summary, I have not completely abandoned this blog, and it will remain online, but do not expect lively traffic here.
