Intruduction take 2

in introduceyourself •  7 years ago 

Hello Steemians!

I am Lizelle Levengood, wife of Concept Artist, Illustrator and Art Director Lynton Levengood, and we live in Cape Town, South Africa.

Like my tag says, I am an artist-wife( artist, wife, and wife to an artist) , cat-mom, thing-maker, picture-taker.
I'm also a garden gnome, DIY enthusiast and I have been living with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome for 10 years now.

Sometimes it feels like there is a marshmallow where my brain should be and my blood feels like battery acid, but hey! it's better than it used to be.

My furbabies do a lot to boost my mood. Flash, our first adopted floofy is a year older than Teddy, our special needs cat. As a feral kitten he though the car engine to be a suitable siesta spot. ( It was the middle of summer so who can understand cat logic) He was injured when we turned the car on and after having him checked by a vet we decided to keep him seeing as we broke him. He's almost 2 years old now, with Flash heading on to 3 years old. They are typical brothers and it takes a very cold day for them so snuggle up together.

This is my second introduction post as I had originally started on Steemit as @moderndragon, but we recently decided to make moderndragon for my husband's art and dragons and the business stuff, and I made Simply Lizelle for me as I have a FB page for my personal arty projects and such. First Introduction post here

I work from home running The Modern Dragon behind the scenes doing admin, dispatching orders, creating and uploading new merch, and booking events and conventions for The Modern Dragon. Lynton does the art and writes for the blog www.themoderndragon.com.

When I'm not working on that, I'm usually outside working off my frustrations and restoring my sanity in my garden.
Flash helps a lot.

Hope to see you around!
Have a good day
Lizelle

I like your dragons.
Cats and gardening can be very soothing.

Thanks! I'm sure you could. I had to since I started a new account and it is frowned upon to not have an intro post showing you're a real person. I will also still do anther intro post for @moderndragon to explain more what it will be about. :)

Welcome Lizelle! Your cats are beautiful - they really do bring such comfort and happiness. You have my sympathies in your struggle with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - do you take any medication to help with it?

Thank you so much.
