A lot has happened in the last few years.
In 2011 or so the screen of my Axiotron ModBook shattered, the glass has since fallen out due to so many moves and the LCD is cracked.
In 2014 or so i fainted and fell in my MacBook Pro, completely demolishing the screen.
Shortly thereafter I was without any access to any computers for nearly a year and I have not had the funds to fix either my ModBook (last quoted $375+ from an Axiotron repair specialist) nor replace the screen on my MacBook Pro =a ~$80-100 part I can probably replace myself). In summer of 2012 my professional camera gear(a gift from my grandpa) was stolen---my Canon 5D Mark II and the 16-35mm f/2.8L attached to it were stolen out of my car. I subsequently had to sell my 24-70mm f/2.8L and 70-200 f/2.8L IS as I couldn't replace my stolen gear. This is something that still depresses me. I'm currently stuck borrowing my grandpa's Nikon D3100 entry level crop sensor dSLR. It has been a humbling few years.
I bought a $500 Montero, drove down to Alabama to retrieve my dog and I broke up with my fiance of almost 7 years. Less than a week later I moved back to Cincinnati and have been rebuilding my life with a wonderful new SO. I was able to purchase a cheap monitor at a thrift store and have connected my MacBook Pro to this so I am Sunday able to do art and photo editing with my Wacom again! I am working part time for a professional photographer and am finally pursuing a dream I've had, so far I have been second shooter at a wedding and been invited to shoot at an engagement session. My next gig is working a photo booth at a New Year's party. My SO is buying me a dream car I've wanted, a 1985 300ZX (non turbo). Diaz is happy and healthy at almost 11 years old.
I do not have internet access outside of my phone so I cannot upload any new art or photos until i obtain the funds to install Wi-Fi in my new apartment.
I'm taking digital pet portrait commissions but do not have PayPal sp payments will have to be arranged. Please email inquiries into commissions as I don't check DA very often. Sabarika@gmail.com
Thanks for all your support over the years, I hope to relaunch my gallery soon.

Find Sabarika More Active Elsewhere!
I oft forget to check my older online galleries and use them only to showcase the rare "fairly finished" pieces. My deviantART, which is 15 years old now, is one I ignore too often.
You can find me at the following places somewhat actively online:
FurAffinity
Art Twitter
Flickr Photography
I do use Facebook and a private Twitter for social media but usually add only people I know, though feel free to search them out and try as I have filters in place in case I add you but don't know you.
My art account Twitter is my newest attempt at reaching out to social media on a more public basis, as my deviantART was cleared of my older art, my F

That's all that's really relevant.
Appreciate Your Artists - We give you our soul.
I wrote this back in February and a few people seemed to like it on FB and FA.

When you buy artwork you aren't just paying an artist for a petty picture, you're paying for years of hard work--years of sweat, blood, tears.. Hunching over paper until your back is sore, your fingers cramp, your wrists develop repetitive stress injury, your eyes become bloodshot. You're paying for countless hours of painstakingly erasing and sketching, researching and referencing, practicing and practicing and practicing until you're in too much pain to go on. You're investing in thousands of dollars of art supplies, bo
Life Updates ROUND TWO: '17 F I G H T
Oops, I guess by "soon" I meant "see you in a couple more years".
Life is .. different, and no worse, I suppose.
My Macbook Pro died. Might be hard drive (hope not), might be logic board, won't matter as I can't afford to fix or replace.
Lost everything (camera gear, cars, house, phone, job, etc). Intuos4 died, friend generously bought me a Bamboo which was promptly "missing" when I had to move out. No camera, no tablet, no laptop now. My entire art collection/sketchbooks and my backup hard drives were lost in a sold truck in Cinci all of summer, miraculously found by a total stranger's dog and I came to find ALL of my old art and sketchbo
