This is Izzy (previously StevRayBro) and I wanted to give you all an update on what has been going on behind the scenes with me and this channel. Well, in case I never announced it on here, I came out as transgender, hence the new name and new look. Transitioning in a public forum is scary so I retreated from the Youtube channel and mostly stayed in contact with fans using Tumblr and Twitter (@ArtistIzzy) and being a mainstay on the Pizza Party Podcast. Where my reaction to my new identity was mixed received.
I would be lying if that was the only reason. But I was increasingly becoming less interested in the content I was making. Art videos weren't nearly as fun as they once were and I felt more and more like I was under-delivering on them. Steven Universe vlogs were fun, but my fanbase didn't like them as much. I was too busy animating professionally to animate for fun. Which by the way, I technically worked an on a TV show property that many of you have watched but I can't say which due to contracts.
Recently I have moved into a new apartment and without fail I installed my work set up and hung up my old Youtube 100k subs plague and got nostalgic. Starting up a new channel sounds amazing, but I don't know if or when I will be ready for that. To be very fair, I also want to start a comic. And I know my intentions are too divided as is. I would love to hear from you all again.
