Stream of conscious aka I drew a bunch weird images that came to mind when I did this

#art #digitalart #digitalillustration #illustration #aceartist #artpost

A bunch of random images like top hat clad octopi, daikon and carrots thinking of pickles, long spined corgis, business suited fish, and crying onions coming out of an artist's head

Just in time for #makeaterriblecomicday2025

1st row of panels is me unable to sleep before a trip, laying there, alone with my thoughts
