Hi everyone! My name is Shay, but my nickname has been Azure for almost 20 years. I'll answer to Azure, Azzy, Shade, Shay, or Shay-Shay so you have options :P
I'm mom of two very precocious kids who have made my life pretty interesting.
I also have Lupus which tends to flair up randomly, and usually when I least want it to, so bare with me on how random my pages get updated.
I've always had a bent towards art, whether it's sculpting, reading/writing, or crafting, but other than a few basic art classes when I was a kid, I hadn't drawn any until 3 years ago. I've improved a lot in those 3 years, but I'm still learning so I ask for your patience and understanding with that as well. <3 (I use my comics as a learning ground, so they'll morph and change as I grow.)
having said that, I hope you'll enjoy what I post! =^.^=

Many of you are probably wondering, what the eff happened to Azure? I'm sorry, I'm here I've just had some medical issues I've been dealing with. Until my physical therapy is finished I'm unable to do much art, but I've managed writing fairly aptly. My P.T. is doing good though and In about a month I should be back in the saddle. (I hope! because I'm going crazy) Thanks everyone for understanding! See you soon. <3

Hello all! I know I'm still gone and it's been forever. My eyes are still a bit messed up so it still hard to draw, but I've been trying! :D I did draw for a contest. it was the first thing I tried drawing since I started having eye issues. I didn't win the contest, but now I can share the comic. It had to be about time travel. I hope you enjoy! I should hopefully have the next page of AtSG up in the next two weeks. I'm about 2/3rds of the way finished since I have to work on it a bit at a time.

A lot of you are probably wondering what happened to me, well... good question. I'm having some issues. Some of you have read my "about me" and know that I have Lupus (or possibly undifferentiated connective tissue disease, they can't make up their minds at the present time). Anyways, I'm currently having issues with my eyes. my optometrist believes I might have optic neuritis, which basically messes with your ability to see and/or see color. I'll be seeing a specialist in Nov. along with my neurologist and cardiologist etc.. I WILL be continuing my comics, but I beg your forgiveness and patience for how long it's been and will continue to be. I also ask for your best thoughts as things progress. <3 Thank you all so very much!

Take care of your health first! Then a very close second your family !! Annnnnnd After that, if you can fit in updates, what-all you decide is good.

Oh, no! ...hmm, if your color vision goes away, you could still update your comic in black and white :3 ...but I hope it doesn't even come to that! Like Jarah said, health and family come before the updates. :) Don't stress yourself out over your comics.

Thank you all <3 @Digi, in my case it's been messing with both sight and color. I'm almost back to normal on seeing (hopefully stays that way!), but I'm dealing with what kind of looks like constant ghost images just slightly out of phase with what's actually there on everything I look at, which is making it hard to art at all, but I had the same thought. if my color stays wonky I'll work through the ghost images and some other "little" issues (one eye seeing different shades than the other, etc) and still do black and white. geez, artists are funny right? we all must art. lol I go to a specialist in November who will hopefully tell me everything is reversible and get me back in shape, (or even better, everything continues to get better on it's own before that). *GIANT HUGGLES* ya'll
