A Clochán - something of a beehive hut. hill ranging hermit or cloistered creature may stow away in here for long times, lost in the shifting symbols of an ancient book that never ends.

Oof, got a lot of wonderful quality prints made today. Looking forward to listing and releasing them 🔥

I’m thinking to do so through an Etsy to take advantage of its own organic search and such.

I just painted this little 🍓 while watching a guy slumming it through Indian train travel. I mainly drew this so I could post it to my insta stories for a girl I like very much to see it and smile a gentle smile.
