Only on the inside, ahahahahaa....haaaa....


Well, it's no secret that this year has pretty much sucked for everyone. Some got hit worst. Considering all things, I made it out pretty unscathed.


I did take a break from drawing. At first it was to get back to work at the restaurant, but now it's because, I unno, seasonal/ 2020 lacklusterness, or something. I pretty much fell off the face of the earth. I didn't die. Or did I? ....who's typing this?


It would be nice to get back into art. I may not have been posting that much to dA, but I do post elsewhere. If anyone wants to follow me along, (if I haven't turned you away with my haitus), I wanna let you know where else you can find me:


I mainly post to Instagram: instagram.com/abwingz


Sometimes I post to Twitter: twitter.com/abwingz


I also have a gallery on Behance: behance.net/avaleanneberman


If anyone's interesting in hanging out, or asking for commissions... (Yes, I made that horrible stink about it at the beginning of the year with how commissions don't pay well. I'm a hypocrite. With 2020 the way it is, I've come to realize that money is money is money, is money, no matter what. Honestly, if that turned you away from me, it's cool. I. Am. Jerk.)


I've got two places you can find me, but I think I only can link one of them... here me out.


I made a second Discord, and this time, with the intent of organizing my projects, as well as being a hang out spot. I'll invite "the regular suspects" I've come to know on here. xD But also, I want to leave you with a link here: https://discord.gg/tbhDJ3ru to Ava's Art Den.


...there's a small penance though...


I'm sure you're aware, but I'm the art director for youtuber TheMysteriousMrEnter, and I know he's got a bucket of hate behind him. The dude can be an ass, but he's not evil. He's a guest on my Discord, and I have to ask you not to... well, you know the meme. This is a Discord for ME, and my art. If you're coming here to annoy the dude...well, you'll get banned, and... well, that's it. xD We move on. So, I mean, if you want to out yourself as an ass, that's fine, but it won't do much. It would just be nice to not have to deal with that.


So, the second place you can find me is in Mr. Enter's Discord, The Growing Around Public server. But I don't have a link for that. We honestly get a lot of traffic there, and some of that are trolls who exist for two minutes before we ban them. I guess they all lived completely fulfilled lives knowing they got to annoy Enter for two seconds before becoming completely forgotten, like the others... and all for the sake of annoying someone they don't like... truly, those were lives well lived. They all must be good natured people, heroic even, with giant dicks. Clearly. 8D


Anyway, come find me on the Discord of your preference. We'll talk turkey about commissions. Or just talk. Friendship is nice.


And I really hope everyone's been surviving this horribly year. You've all almost made it to the other side. Hang in just a little more.

Hey guys.... once again, I don't have anything ready for today. (So well prepared...) But wow, three years. 
And I still haven't gotten far. I've kinda fallen off the band-wagen, not just with HS, but with most of my life, honestly. I need to get back in the swing of pushing myself more. 

But the dream hasn't died yet, thankfully. I'm still kicking, and I still daydream about Hammer Space. Let it be known that no matter what, Minnie and her stories are always gonna be around.

I want to to thank everyone who has shown me their support through their fan art and fan fictions. I'd like to thank everyone for including my character in their works, because you didn't have to, but because you wanted to. I'm honesty happy to see support still go strong, despite my poor work ethic. I was it was more than just me working on this. Even just having a little space of my own to chat about HS would be nice. Just a little personal, small spac-

So who wants to join a Hammer Space Discord group with me? -> discord.gg/dhgTW3H It's at least worth a shot, right?

Once again, thank you to everyone who's kept the fire ignited.

This soprano is high pitched and gentle, just what I pictured for Minnie. And the song actually depicted the one thing Minnie overthinks... dating. Just change it to "When SHE sees me," and it's perfect. The southern accent is cute, but a debatable add-on. xD

Hello peeps. I've been on Deviant Art every day, checking stuff, but I haven't been as active in submitting art, or journal updates, for what feels like months. I'm just so tired... of being tired, from being tired. @_@ Fracking adulthood. So lemme start off by making the journal I should have made December 17th, which was the day I came back to the USA from Israel. 

It was beautiful, but exhausting! It was 7 tightly packed days, on the bus, off the bus, on the bus, off the bus, doing everything; seeing beaches, climbing old structures, climbing mountains, swimming in hot springs, swimming in the Dead Sea, changing hostels every day, waking up early to see the sun rise, learning about Israeli culture, Israeli history, Biblical facts, current events, seeing the border where Syria starts... hearing bombs going off in Syria... seeing a million stray cats literally everywhere we went, hanging out in Tel Aviv, hanging out in Jerusalem, leaving my grandfather's picture in the Western Wall, staying for dinner with the Drews, staying overnight in a tent in the desert with the Bedouins, seeing a Holocaust museum, seeing a soldiers memorial graveyard, eating falafel, eating too much falafel, way too much falafel, I'm sick of falafel now- and of course the super fun airplane rides, to and from... Oh, and the various other people I was on the trip with, too. I'm happy the Birthright age got extended to 27-32, because I would have missed out on a free trip. xD I'm glad I did this. I needed this. I needed to get out of the US and just do something I never did before. I'm happy I went. And I'm pretty sure I'm 15% a little more Jewish now. I don't think I made any life long friends with the other travelers, but I didn't need to. I was friendly with everyone at the very least. And that was my trip to Israel. 


When I got home, I worked five days in a row until Christmas Eve, over at the restaurant where I work, and then I worked six days in a row there until New Years Day! @_@ I flipping hate working there. At least, I hate working there every single day. I've tried working there on just the weekends, but that seems to impede the social life I actually made for myself... like, this is new for me. I must have hung out with friends more this years then I ever had in my entire life. It's been strange, but nice. These restaurant jobs have really helped me come out of my shell, but it's not the only cause. You might remember back in January how I came down with a sever sleep problem. I couldn't fall asleep. I didn't have anything plaguing my thoughts, I wasn't ingesting anything bad, I just couldn't fall asleep. It didn't matter how tired I was, my mind, empty as it was, refused to turn off; it was like an emergency transmission on your TV, empty, nothing really showing, but you lost the remote and you couldn't turn it off. I've been on med's for a year, and it's helping now... but back then, lying awake, wondering why I just wasn't sleeping, heart racing, exhaustion eating my sanity and my physical health, clutching my phone incase I went into cardiac arrest... it was death. I think that, more than anything, drove me to do more. I wanted to live. And I'm not done yet.

***IMPORTANT*** I've fallen off the band wagon when it comes to art. Poor Hammer Space has suffered the most neglect. And so have my commissions. Maybe I'm not working in a studio like I wanted, but that doesn't mean I still can't freelance. I'm currently working for two John's right now, (Mr. Johnathon Rozzanski, aka Mr. Enter, and a Mr. John Carrozza, not internet famous), both have me "contracted" for long term projects. I'm also working with my father, photo-editing pictures for his business, and one other freelance project that's not long term, but sure feels like it. But I could use some more. If I really want to work less hours at that restaurant, then I need to pick up the pace art wise, and pick up more work commission wise. I'm going to post an updated commission page after this. I don't think I have enough supporters to make a Patreon for Hammer Space, otherwise I would. 

Aaaaand, that's all I can think to write. Happy New Year. OH! And yes, I am going to show off all the awesome drawings and fan fiction you guys made for me in 2018. Just give me some time to organize that. xD
