Reconnecting to Freelance

It has been a very long time since I have even signed onto my blog.  I am not sure if anyone will be interested at this point, but I think it only fair to quickly summarize why the long hiatus.

I had a baby boy named Benjamin in September 2013 and everything changed!!  Especially about a year or so after he was born.  I was still doing projects here and there for my favorite client, Fadenrot, but I was also finding out that my son had ASD.  So I dropped my freelance ball to pick up another... and face his needs head-on.

He is doing wonderfully.  I am happy to say that much of the time spent on his needs have indeed paid-off and I am proud that I made sure my son got the care he needed.  However, it also means that I have absolutely no idea where my career stands at this point.  I am again searching, putting the feelers out there, poking around at the online communities and children's illustration projects.  Where it will lead me?  I do not know.

So I say hello and hopefully not good-bye again...

I guess if I suddenly go missing again it can be assumed that I have found my son or family needs me more.
