So I've recently gotten a new computer, currently sorting through files and I stumbled upon this silly little interaction from Tumblr years ago.
It's no secret that I have a thing for Soundwave from Transformers (but who doesn't rly) 👀

A drawing done years ago attempting to capture the feeling of trying to hold yourself together, despite everything about you falling apart.
The fragility of your mind cracking under pressure, trying to resist the desire of shattering, allowing yourself to break.

I’ve been struggling to get back into art for over 15 years. Some years there was nothing.
The last 10 years, I have created 20 some odd drawings. The last 5? Four.
I didn’t complete anything this year.
Yet, I keep going… Hoping I’m not yet broken.
Despite the odds, I reach for the light.

Sometimes my nephew, niece & I have art sessions. Our muse this last one was Bill Cipher from Gravity Falls.
My nephew drew Bill with a Gaster Blaster, ready to torment us pitiful mortals. Then my niece depicted the demon dorito w/ that 'ol razzmatazz ~ *wiggles eyebrows*

I’ve been considering what path to take towards becoming more present.
Art has been hard to flow back into for many years now. What I think happened was that I put too much pressure on myself to be “good” at art & along the way, stopped enjoying the process. So it became harder to perform.

Re-sharing of some Enderman doodles I had done a while back, playing with a blocky brush.
My favorite Minecraft cryptid ~🌷 Kindred spirits really. Lovers of dirt, makers of strange noises, & good at disappearing. They are friend shaped :]

Here are some of the stages I went through while coming up with an illustration for the zine. Since I was charged with making the cover image, I felt I needed something to include the main cast of characters.
I want to do some of the dropped ideas later :)

Last year was the 20th anniversary of a little cartoon called "Super Robot Monkey Team Hyperforce GO!"
Fans came together to create a zine to show our love for the show. This was my contribution. It was an honor to participate & reconnect w/ other fans :)

You have what matters.
A family that wants you.
Friends that stand by you.
The ability to create. To see. To live.
And yet, why feel so empty?
Doesn't that mean anything to you?
... Don't be so ungrateful.

Old ballpoint pen sketch ruminating on my own unhappiness.

Undyne, the captain of the Royal Guard - A heart that burns for justice! 🐟
Throwback traditional art of Undyne from Undertale nearly 10 years ago. I still really like this one. A friend of mine now owns the original.

I have successfully completed & passed by courses this semester 😴
Now I can breathe for a few weeks before the next one.
It feels like it’s been 10,000 years since I’ve been able to draw.

I am a proud plant parent (for 4 yrs now)🪴Helping things grow is both a healing process and a source of relaxation. Plants make me happy, and connect me with nature.
Manta rays are some of my most favorite animals. They’re such graceful creatures. I dream of seeing some in person one day.

I’ve often set myself to only post my artwork, but that can sometimes create a barrier at times between the art and person behind that lens.
So, allow me to share some photos to get to know me a little better :)

Re-sharing my old ink art featuring my personal favorite Pokemon :)
I honestly don't know much beyond Gen 2/3 aside from standout characters from movies/clips or art I've seen. As a kid, I remember it just going to Mewtwo & I just lost track
aka I'm old hahah
