I like to draw on little things, like pebbles, and really quite big things, like walls and fibreglass creatures. And stuff in between, too!

✏️🎨2025!😀 Quiet to start with, a bit mad at the end, but I’ve done a lot of doodling and I’m extremely grateful for that!
Thank you to all the lovely people who have allowed me to scribble for them and let me do my thing, and the wonderful Scrap for keeping me sane (?!).
