We're back baby!

Life has been a real kick in the rat sack for the past 5 months, but between friends i wouldn't trade for the world and the sun providing natural vitamin D, life is looking way less doom and gloom. I'm looking forward to getting to the back log of sketches and ideas I have scattered across way too many sheets of paper! Posting will slow down to MAYBE once or twice a week because every day/every other day was killing me slowly- I was spending so much time drawing, posting, and checking social media, that it began to negatively effect how i was spending time with friends and family. Anyways, with an actual plan in place to keep it all balanced with healthy boundaries for myself, I'm looking forward to the future with y'all- 💜Corporate Rat.

As always, rat swag can be found in the link in bio 🐀🐀

The journey of an artist often comes with ups and downs. Corporate Rat's return reflects not just a personal revival but a universal experience of balance and self-care. Many creatives face burnouts, especially in today’s fast-paced digital world, where the pressure to produce is overwhelming. Recognizing the importance of mental health, this article explores how setting boundaries allows artists to protect their passion without sacrificing quality time with friends and family. As the creative process resumes, it’s essential to prioritize drawing and ideas that truly resonate, paving the way for authentic expression. Whether you're an illustrator, comic artist, or just someone who enjoys creativity, the importance of a supportive community is undeniable. Friends can lift you out of a funk and inspire new ideas, offering encouragement and camaraderie on your artistic journey. As Corporate Rat navigates through sketches and concepts accumulated during a period of reflection, the importance of slow, intentional work becomes clear. After all, creativity should be a joyful process, not a source of stress. Keep an eye out for more updates as Corporate Rat embraces a new schedule that balances passion and personal well-being!

A close-up of 'The Vaccine Friendly Plan' book cover, featuring diverse babies. Overlaid text states the book explains pros and cons of vaccines on the CDC schedule for infants.

A highlighted text passage discusses FDA guidelines for safe aluminum exposure in infants, noting the hepatitis B vaccine contains significantly more aluminum than the recommended daily limit for a newborn.

Why We’re Delaying Vaccines for our Baby

Vaccinations are such a controversial topic, however as a parent, it’s your responsibility to do the research if you choose. I try to be as holistic as possible, however I feel some vaccinations are important. When I was pregnant, I read the book The Vaccine Friendly Plan. I didn’t know wha
