I put together a costume figure drawing group and our first session went super well! Can’t wait for the next one. Shoot me a dm if you want to be on the email list to hear about these and other drawing events I’m hoping to host this summer.

Honestly surprised it took so long to get an email like this. It goes on to say tariffs on a $200 purchase were around $23 before, and have now jumped to around $125 dollars for the same purchase. Great!

I’m really missing out on my true calling as a Victorian gentleman. I should be doing little dissections and attending lectures and writing treatises and correspondences with my very close friend and valet with whom I share a wardrobe and adjacent bedrooms.
