I’m bad at social media, but good at snail mail. I make zines and write blog posts about creativity and neurodivergence. What kind of hashtags are good for art, zines & autism these days? #Zines #Autism #NeurodivergentArtist

Here’s a wallpaper I made to remind myself.

This is Boreas by John William Waterhouse. It is named for the Greek God of the North Wind.
