i try to be pretty upbeat about things but tbh i just don't think the human brain was designed to be made constantly aware that millions of people absolutely hate you for who you are and take some sort of sick delight in cruelty towards you, y'know

a photo of a papercraft concept, showing an inch tall figure holding a sword

here's an old papercraft TTRPG concept. the head and arms are both posable and interchangeable, despite the model only a being an inch tall.

I just love being an artists and making art. I love seeing all that is wonderful around me. I love soaking up knowledge and concepts and images, I love coming up with new things, learning new skills. I just love it all so damn much.

it occurs to me that papercrafts are tariff resistant and i should probably put some energy into marketing my services when i am available again with that in mind

promote your project with a physical item that requires zero physical shipping 🤔
