I’ve got quite a few more followers than when I started, so let me introduce myself again! Hi, I’m Sam. I’m an out transgender FTM man and I review books. I am liberal, believer in human and animal rights, and an advocate for positive social change. I love reading and drawing and I am a safe space.

I’m actually really loving the small scale of 5x7 that I’m doing this on! Learning how to do wet fur has been a fun challenge! #artsky #coloredpencil #petportrait

And I’m back and drawing! Working on a hunting dog for a baby nursery for a commission. I’m happy that my coworkers believe in me and support my work! The work ahead to get this off the ground isn’t insurmountable, but your support will help! I love you guys, thank you!! #artsky #dogportrait

How many tabs open is too many? My wife looked over my shoulder at my browser and clutched her pearls at my 21 tabs. I've opened way more than that when I'm writing blog posts or doing research though.

I bought a home in January, and it's taken until now to feel pretty settled. But my creative workspace is all settled and my library is set up! I finally feel like I can draw and write in a creative space and not feel like there's something else I should be doing.

Tomorrow is my 33rd birthday. All I want to do is go to Costco and the Lego Store. Maybe Barnes & Noble. It’s the simple things.

The best part of moving: moving all the totes and boxes counts as a workout.
The worst part: all the odds and ends you have no idea what to do with.

So this happened today. She’s obsessed with sleeping on my chest. This is Strega, witch in Italian! She’s so cuddly and sweet. Hasn’t met our dog yet but the other cats are chill so far about it.

1-800-Got-Junk is hugely worth it after moving. I didn’t have to break my back moving furniture I didn’t want anymore and I didn’t have to break my friends backs either. Worth it for any big clean out occasion.

The perk of having your own house is choosing how you can decorate it to your hearts content… but my partner won’t let me fill it with German Shepherd art and Lord of the Rings prints ☹️

When things are hard, hold your heart up like a lighthouse.
There are people who love you, even if they haven’t said it yet.
Things are never hopeless. That if you reach out, someone will reach back.
That those who show up when everything is a mess? They are your people.
Stay.
