Sup everyone. I'm here to throw out some quick details about my current situation at home. I'm living with my partner's parents for the summer until we can get an apartment together in August/September. Until then, I'll be working on commissions and earning some money for the rent. Very sorry for the incredibly slow pace!!
As some of you may have heard from my tumblr updates, I am no longer living with my parents or receiving support from them for school and other benefits. Without the money to pay for tuition, I may lose my scholarships and not have a chance to finish college on time. Of course, I'm well prepared for that, but if there's a chance, there may be a way. My partner's parents started a GoFundMe for me. Please check it out, share it, and donate if you can. I'll be using this money and my commission money towards school and rent, and I'll probably kick up the rewards when I think of something better. Thank you all do much!!

Help me support a talented and homeless art student. Recently, I have taken in a homeless art student that attends college with my youngest son. Unfortunately, certain circumstances prevent him from going to school for a second year.
Born and raised in America, Kevin struggled to live in a household governed by parents of Chinese heritage. His parents are very traditional. They prevented him from an independent lifestyle until freshman year of college where he dormed with other young college students. Upon returning home for the summer, he asked his parents if he could live off campus and share an apartment with my son and several others. The costs of living there were cheaper than if he chose to live on-campus, but even so, his parents did not allow that. They warned him that if he decided to move out, then he would no longer receive support from them. They kicked him out of their home shortly after. Kevin sought help from his friends. He stayed with a local college friend, her mother, and her sister for a few days. Then he spent another week living in a homeless shelter in Atlanta, GA. Unable to find a job or secure a permanent residence, he returned home to live with his parents. Needless to say, he did not feel safe there and continued searching for another place to stay. I couldn't bare this kid living on the streets, so my husband and I drove from our country (nice word for double wide) home to Atlanta and brought him over to live with us for the summer.
I didn't realize the extent of Kevin’s issues at home until getting to know him better. He suffered from depression, emotional abuse, and verbal threats under the control of his parents. He mentioned having suicidal thoughts in the past. Unfortunately, depression and mental illnesses are very foreign to his parents, and they insist in knowing what's best for him and his future. They said he cannot go to school and worry about his mental health and well-being. Kevin chose his mental health and safety over the opportunity to go to college. We would like to help him continue following his aspirations. However, we are struggling to pay for our son’s college and cannot help Kevin without going into massive debt. His scholarships aren't enough to cover his tuition, and he will lose those scholarships if he does not enroll full time. We don't want him to face an even bigger burden. I am asking for whatever you can spare to help Kevin to fulfill his dreams.

New Stuff in the Works!
Sup everyone.
Apologies for the lack of updates and the deadness. I've been fixated on my schoolwork and my tutoring position to no end. On top of that, I'm contributing to a fairly big fan project with several talented artists. All in all, I'm managing to breathe with all that's been going on.
But first of all, progress on commissions! I apologize for the delay on these; I promise I haven't forgotten about them. I'm still working on what I have on hand, but I have a few more to sketch out and deliver. Hopefully by the time summer rolls along, I'll be a bit more productive on those. For those who I still haven't sketched for, feel free to s
I AM BACK: Emergency Commissions
I finally moved into my new apartment with ~gallowstyphoon (https://www.deviantart.com/gallowstyphoon) and friends. And now we finally have internet.
Our biggest crisis at the moment is earning and saving up for rent. Unfortunately, we did not receive the amount of the loan we were approved for, and that portion will not cover next month of rent. Unless we get lucky, :iconGallowstyphoon: and I may not be able to keep the apartment. Neither of us has landed a job in the city yet, and we have less than a month to do so. SO yeah, we really need help keeping this apartment.
I will be working on commissions nonstop starting today. Literally anything goes. If you have any special requ
Important Announcement
Sup everyone. Lots of stuff happenin. In the next week or so, I'll be gettin ready to move back to Georgia into a new apartment with ~gallowstyphoon (https://www.deviantart.com/gallowstyphoon) and friends. We'll officially have our own place. :'D I probably won't be as active on Deviantart, and we probably won't have internet access for a bit when we move in. So sit tight if I don't reply to your messages.
Additionally, first quarter of my second year at SCAD is paid for with loans. I'll be returning to school in September, and hopefully I'll find a job to help pay for the rent and necessities. Commissions will remain open as well. Again, I'll reply to messages as soon as we rece

Kehven, you should use this chance to post on your older Deviantart account, about Gofundme. And while you don't want to go back to your Youtube, if you made a video about your situation, about school, about gofundme, you'll get a shit ton of people viewing it on both, and get a better chance at getting funded.
