It feels silly to be focusing on my craft, and it feels silly not to. It has never been this way. It has always been this way. Someone has always clinked a champagne glass in one hemisphere as someone loses their home in another.
Here we are, in the midst of chaos, just trying to stay sane.

Voilà!
This was a fun side project to work on 🥰

Not that I've gotten any complaints, but...
I have 3 guinea pigs, a dog, a cat, a bearded dragon and a man at home. If you got a problem with pet hair on your packaging label you probably shouldn't order from me. 🙃

I have a few Pokémon jumpers listed in the shop right now. They're my favorite to make 💙

I've wanted to take a lighthearted approach to representing #illness in my art for a while now. Since late last year I've been stuck on this pun, and now, finally...

Introducing to you my #pillbug design ♥️💊

Reminder not to feed Trumps hero-complex for bringing it back (if it happens). He was the one that wanted it banned years ago until he saw some sort of benefit for keeping it.

Honestly, some of these stories need to turn into jail sentences. People using fires and floods to ease themselves of their burdens- or are they really that stupid???
Never leave a domesticated animal or vulnerable person on their own when a natural disaster is on its way.
Take them with you.

And just like that, I'm making reflective collars for stray cats that let you know if they've been home or not. 🥹♥️

The big disadvantage of having art not solely as a hobby is that you never can stop thinking about work. It's always present in thoughts, subconsciously or not. Such an exhausting way of making a living but also a very privileged one.

Good things happen. Love is real. We will be okay.

Normalize posting the messy sketches!
Normalize sharing your least favorite pieces!
Normalize creating art for vengeance by drawing your enemies in compromising positions with various farm equipment!
Normalize group critiques!
