:0 Just a piggy on the internet!!! /lh

Thank you for being with me on my art journey, whether you're an old follower or a new one. You're all incredible, and I love creating for you! I hope you'll continue to follow me into this new era!

I've been working behind the scenes for about a week to make new assets for all my socials, and now that I'm done, I can finally let you guys know!

I can be whatever I want! MidMist served me well, but it's time to pass the torch to my new online identity. I'll always be Via, but moving forward, I hope you'll come to know me as MudPuddle!

In learning to love myself, I also learned to embrace the things I was scared of enjoying. I love cute things, pastel colors, pink, and I've learned that there's a place for that in my business. I don't have to be mysterious and shadowy and aesthetic.

That's why I'm going to be completely rebranding. This was NOT an easy conclusion to reach, and though it comes with great excitement, it also comes with a certain amount of grief. When I made ViaPig, I began to disconnect from my username and the aesthetics that came with it.

I've become someone my younger self would be so happy with, but unfortunately in doing that, I've grown away from the MidMist brand. Especially following the creation of ViaPig!

My name has become decently identifiable in the art community, especially surrounding closed species. MidMist has been my legacy for a third of my life, for better or worse. That's why this is so hard. have grown and changed so much as a person.

MidMist as a brand has existed fornearly a decade! I officially chose that name in June of 2016, and it has served me well for many many years. Through ups and downs, loss and growth, I have been MidMist Creations.

There's no super easy way to talk about this topic, but I'm going to do my best! Please bare with me as I try to navigate the conversation ahead!
