A WIP, 6x6 piece for a small art show in April!

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Bro, it was hard working news from 2015-2019 because of all the "fake news" bandwagon, and now I work at a non-profit with education and dealing with the looming threat of losing all federal funding and my own job. I can't catch a break! 😭

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

It's gonna be a little weird clashing my irl friends with my online friends on bluesky. They'll all know I'm obsessed with Demiurge and Raphael but like, for realsies now.

hello, where are my Raphael friends? 🥲 #bg3 #raphael #raphaelbg3

I'm pretty sure it was this one? I don't know how you check to see... I drew this for a Raphael collage book that a friend made for the voice actor! #raphael #bg3

Creativity is like a houseplant, not an endless well. You need to seek out sunlight, water, and nutrients in art, shows, music, experiences, and more to tend to it. And just like plants it has its dormant and active periods and you may not seem improvement for some time.
