Hey, guys. No art today (sadness), but as I am slowly revitalizing the website and fixing some things here and there, I figured now would be a good time to post updates regarding the blog itself and what you guys can expect in the near future.
So first off...
New website address. For the sake of having a nicer looking website, I changed the website's address from zipknight48.blogspot.com to zippyzipper.blogspot.com. That old dingy username from 11 years ago is no more. It's high time I went back to my old username, one with a lot of quirk. Just the way I like it. All of my links will now have the new site address. Shouldn't be too much of a complicated process as far as I'm aware. Unfortunately, my Gmail mailing address is still the same and I have no intent to change it.
New e-mail! I've recently created a new e-mail, on Yahoo! Why Yahoo? That shit's ancient! It's simple: the e-mail I wanted to make wasn't taken, and I had the app on my phone, so for the sake of just using it more I made my account there. Now you can reach me on more mails than before!
New profile pic! As mentioned previously, I've updated my profile pic to reflect the 2020 version of me more.
Removed Sharehouse Cooking as an individual page. I didn't think it was pretty necessary to keep it up, so I took it down. It still has its own tag in case you're keen on looking up the recipes I've made and posted about.
Soon on Crossover...
Moar art! This is pretty much a given. I'm aiming to get more art pumped into this website before the end of the year. I also have a terribly abusive relationship with procrastination so in an attempt to break free of that I'm setting myself some deadlines to keep content running on the site. In line with that...
Scheduled posts. I am thinking of creating a schedule of what to post on specific days of the week. For example, Photography on Mondays, Inks on Tuesdays, Digital Art on Saturdays, etc. I don't really have it well-thought out just yet, and the idea is still up the air until the end of next month because...
Digitober. Breaking the tradition I've been attempting to successfully keep keeping on the site for several years, instead of Inktober this year I will be doing what I call Digitober. Essentially this is the same thing as Inktober where I post art everyday for a month, except in this case it's little bits of digital artwork instead. No photographs, just digital paintings of random things or whatever. Again, this is an attempt to finally break free from my abusive relationship with procrastination and to be more productive overall. This is also so that I stay true to my New Year's resolution of more digital art in 2020. Also, so I can add more color around here; this site is full of too much monochrome and grayscale and I wanna change that.
Patreon? This has really been nagging at me for the longest time. I've had some friends egg me to start a Patreon for my art, but I've been too unwilling to test the waters out of a lot of uncertainty and anxiety. I really want to change that, but first I need to learn to be more productive, and be more proactive with learning art overall. So like scheduled posts, this will be up in the air until further notice.

That's all for now. Until next time, cheers!
