My cat, Greg (she/her), is very happy I'm back working at my desk again! My stack of sketchbooks and planners are apparently peak luxury nap spot.

I've finally started to build some drawing momentum after not drawing for a few months due to health reasons. It feels so nice!

Happy #InternationalAsexualityDay from your resident ace/aro isopod!

Here's a sketch of Athena, Hestia, and Artemis to celebrate!
While applying modern terms to ancient figures can be complicated, these three are often described as being free of Aphrodite's influence so thats neat!
