Currently working on a new large project, it’s a surprise and probably the most complex project I’ve ever attempted. It will take years for me to complete my vision. But I hope you can stay around and watch it develop. #art#illustration#drawing#pencildrawing#bookstagram#booksbooksbooks

Not just saying this bc I have a yarn shop but now more than ever folks need to lean into arts as forms of resistance. Fascism takes away everything including joy & creativity. Use music, fiber arts, pottery, painting, poetry, dancing, etc as weapons.
Here's some peacock color yarn. Coming soon. 🧶
