i love the look of these!! the colored pencil adds a lot of character 💜

and nobody else in this entire world is you. 7? 8 billion people and not one of them contains your exact thoughts and motivations and path in life. the probability of YOU is 1 out of infinity. which means what you bring to the table is infinitely valuable.

that isn't to say you should never feel frustrated in developing yourself. in fact feeling frustrated is proof that you care and want to evolve, which is something some people never do. some never change or grow bc they are never challenged in life. so embrace your challenges, they've made you, you.

if some asshole can generate soulless muck and think he's the best thing since sliced bread --himself, not the software-- then you MUST make the most love-filled, excruciatingly human art you can make in retaliation. and you must take pride in your feelings and your humanity. he WISHES he was you.

the only, ONLY, way to make it through this era with sanity intact is to unabashedly love yourself and your works. yes it's hard. but if you do it with patience and intention like every other craft you've mastered, the skill will develop.

please have more faith in yourselves fr

And it's about midnight now, so happy birthday.

I'm doing them for you now mom. Sorry it took so long. I miss you.
