32. ENTJ 1w9. Artist. Canuck. Powerlifter. Writer. Local swamp creature.

Working on a story called DIVE. 18+ content ahead!
I think one of my favourite perfume houses is Paraphrase. I tried branching out earlier the year and found I love a more rustic, photorealistic feel to fragrances.

I’ll more than likely replace what bottles I have once I get through them. I might get big bottles of the travel sized guys too.

I just can’t get over how green the powder is!

The second picture is a comparison of the stuff I bought from Bulk Barn to make lattes with and Aikenka’s matcha. Absolute night and day.
November 22, 2025 at 2:56 PM
I decided to treat myself an order some of Aikenka’s matcha and the starter kit since I didn’t have one. I’ve got to say, hands down the nicest matcha I’ve ever tried.

I highly recommend to my fellow canucks to give em a shot. I’ll definitely be buying from them again when I run out.

I finally have “choke me daddy part 3” scribbled up. I’ve had this damn picture in my backlog for literal YEARS.

It’ll be nice to finally finish it.

I drew this months ago but totally forgot to post it.

I have an ongoing gag with Hank having a massive shlong for craps and giggles. Ijiri, his partner gets to find all about it so I cooked up this ridiculousness.

I love her expression.😂😂😂

Decided to put together a little header for the art blog (pocketraptordraws.tumblr.com) from some of the sketches I had kicking around. Some of them are from finished pictures, I thought they were fun to include.

I also changed the icon too. I used to have it for twitter as well but fuck that place

Me and one of my best friends got our nails done at one of the local salons - Avalon Nails. We ended up with an unintended wicked theme.

Lmao I could totally be Elphaba if I wanted. I’m pretty witchy on occasion 👹👹👹

It legit looks like a snowstorm outside. Like bro if we get another wild year like when we had snowmageddon I’m gonna be hyped af.

Snowshoeing for me💫

There’s a crazy storm rolling through outside so today I’m getting back to some drawing. Working on some character designs has been therapeutic.

Itoku and his two siblings are next up on the chopping block.

I also still have the “super steeper” pin that was handed out to the folks who were big spenders during 2019 (or was it 2018?).

I miss the local shop, it got shut down during the initial lockdown during Covid - March 2020.

I miss what David’s used to be along with their single walled glass mugs☹️☹️

For someone who got into them for their straight teas, it’s sad to see there’s hardly any left. Last time I placed an order was 2021 and that was only for tea filters (which I can get on amazon for cheaper).

I was a massive fan from 2016-2020. I still have some tea/tins from that time.

It’s bad enough I paid 60 bucks for a 10ml decant of Sikkim Girls (which included shipping/tax ~ $6 per ml).

There’s other fragrances I’ve found that are adjacent to it for much cheaper and I enjoy a bit more so there’s that. Sex&Jasmine from Paraphrase is one.

It’s like the big bottle of “Rentless” I have, a couple of folks had their bottles for sale - one being a third the size was listed for over 400. You cannot convince me that that’s reasonable.

Scalpers are insane mfs. Nobody worth their salt would pay that much for perfume.

Hard pass.
October 31, 2025 at 7:29 PM
I messaged this person over on Reddit about this particular bottle - offered 2/3rds the price and they ghosted me. Find their listing on EBay and all I gotta say is y’all are crazy.

I’m not paying roughly $540 for a fucking 46ml bottle of perfume. $12 per ml is just some crackhead shit.

Dressed up as discount Velma from scooby doo for D&D night yesterday, had mothman to join me - tasted pretty good tbh.

I couldn’t get over how lovely the sunset was too. Super pretty.

I’m hoping to have these guys used up over the next year out of collection of smelly juice. The only one I’d replace is Breath of God or Grass, maybe Karma.

The rest are okay, fun while they’re lasting but I wouldn’t buy them again. Either too expensive or I just don’t love em enough.

I am almost out of my favourite tea (Genmaicha) and some rose buds, I think it might be soon time to pop down to the Asian market shop and restock.

Funny enough one of my coworkers recommended steeping the rose buds to clear my sinuses, it actually works decently. Better than the cold meds.

She has finally arrived!! Took over a month for Fawn’s new album “Hex” to get here thanks to Canada Post and their strike.

Needless to say I’m happy to have this beauty in my collection✨
October 24, 2025 at 2:14 PM
I’ll get these lovely ladies finished eventually…

I’ve had this sketch kicking around for forever, the line work has been half finished for over a month 🫣
October 19, 2025 at 12:56 PM
Haven’t bought any vinyls in a while but happy to say that the local record shop - Fred’s Records had a both of these beauties!

I didn’t think I’d find Magdalena Bay’s “Mini Mix Vol. 1-3” in the wild. I was going to order it online but I’m more than glad to pick it up locally too.

The girls at Starbucks the other day drew me on my forklift. It’s honestly the cutest thing and makes me chuckle.

I don’t talk much about my job online but I honestly really enjoy it. I love what I do.

It can be a lot of fun sometimes and scratches that itch for me to organize stuff. 😌😌✌️

Cooking up a whole new character for one of the later arcs, the rewrite of DIVE is gonna be wild

The bulk of the 4th arc is getting a complete overhaul thus in turn the 5th arc is also getting revamped. I didn’t initially plan on touching it, but the story is going in a whole other direction.
September 11, 2025 at 2:46 AM
I did a “blue man group” look yesterday. Today for work was red, dunno if I’ll do green or yellow tomorrow.

Happy to say I found a mascara that I finally really like too. Only took going through a dozen brands to do it.

All the bois are here. I absolutely love paraphrase and their scents. They’re gorgeous and I highly recommend them!

I cannot express how good this month is turning out so far.

I even managed to order in some very lovely eyeshadow pallets that I had been eyeing since this time last year.

My makeup held on like a champ. If anybody can believe it, this was me last night after getting home from work. I put on my face 12 hours ago from this point, did my 8 hour shift and even got smacked by a box of salad kits💁‍♀️💁‍♀️

Needless to say, what I wear works. Bless Charlotte Tilbury setting spray.
