Hey guys! In case you were wondering about the several-weeks-long hiatus…

I just wanna make it clear I’m not planning to abandon Phantomland. I still love it, it’s my precious widdle baby and I think about it every day. However it’s also an ambitious project that gives me stress and I can’t handle any extra stress at the moment. I need to improve my health and pull my shit together before I can work a dayjob and a webcomic at the same time. It takes time, but… it’s happening. Eventually. I can do this.

“But Maaria you’ve been drawing a lot of random shit lately???” I have. If I stop drawing I start to feel like a part of me is dying, so I have to draw something. The difference is that fanart and random shit don’t burden me with deadlines or other pressures so it suits me better right now. Tbh I’m kinda happy I finally have an excuse to get all these random ideas out of my brain! Some of them have been brewing in there for years!

To my readers: if you’re sick of my fickle bullshit and won’t bother coming back to my comic I understand completely. My life is changing and Phantomland is no longer a project that I’m hoping to make a career out of; it won’t become a steadily ongoing webcomic blockbuster, but it WILL maintain it’s own humble existence nevertheless and be a lasting source of fun for me (and hopefully others??).

TL;DR: When will the updates resume? I’m not sure yet, but this time I’m drawing myself a decent buffer before I get back to weekly updates. Hopefully it happens before summer’s over!
