this includes both digital art and bjd commissions by the way, I'm gonna open up 2 slots of each one.
I'm going to be taking a few commissions as soon as I clear up some of my current queue. my PayPal balance is quite low and I need to buy work supplies 😵💫 this is just a heads up for anyone thinking of wanting a commission from me

Thinking about how funny it would be to have a full fillable bug encyclopedia in good bones and a general nature compendium but the only delineation for fish is "small" "medium" or "big"

I'd be a top class huntsman too if I had a magic crossbow that fired arrows that don't stop until they pierce a creature's heart is all I'm saying

Medication patents are sooooo scummy. Hate when the only medicine you respond to for a debilitating problem is so brand-name you have to beg the manufacturer for an extra little discount card even when you have Good™️ insurance

The real ADHD hurdle I haven't been able to surmount yet is executive dysfunction when I KNOW I've got a little time but it would sure be nicer and more helpful to get up and do shit now instead of when I have to rush

I got the idea for this illustration on a sunny day a while ago after seeing a beetle in the park struggle to get across the hot tarmac path, just a silly visual to explore the question of how much we should be mindful of the wildlife we share a habitat with - they live here too!

Call your senators. I don’t care if they’re Republicans, or if a deal has already been reached. Call them anyway, and let them know exactly what you think of what’s happening. Don’t give them a moment’s peace to forget the blood on their hands.

The combination of waking up earlier for work, moving 14 hours to the north, and daylight savings kicking in shortly after my arrival has fucked me up so severely that I am thinking "probably about time to get to bed" at 6pm
