Hehe luckily it will be used for a charm to help fill out an existing collection of mine! But even if it wasn't still usable I think it's still not a complete waste, he was super fun to draw and really got me back into the swing of drawing again >:) the charm part is a lucky side bonus for sure tho!

dont worry, i redid it completely today and i loooove how the new designs came out. but little to say i felt like a clown all day as i worked hard to redeem myself. everyone else was so nice in the stamp rally about it too, not pointing out how i so clearly missed the memo.

this morning to a private message from the organiser very very kindly asking how it fit the theme. panic. THEME? WHAT THEME? ITS NUCANI ASTER. I DONT REMEMBER A THEME. but alas.. going through the discord info section, there it was, mentioned in one line- summer treats. GAHHHHHHHHH

Kinda funny story about this one - i drew this for a stamp rally and submitted it last night. i was kinda proud because wow i submitted it so early and before everyone else, unusual for me! and i slept soundly knowing i was a step closer to finishing all my secret stamp rally work. ofc, i wake up -

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me? Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

No thoughts only pretty pictures 🙂‍↕️ it's actually so good

It's ok! I gave him air con, a rest and a dust down and now he's cooperating 🙂‍↕️

Sorry for complaining, here's a picture of winning ticket to make everything right again 🥺

Did I sign up to play life on hard mode recently or something? Time and moneys really tight right now because I have a few expensive conventions in a row coming up, and it is now that my computer decides to kinda die. I don't have time for a whimsical fix my computer side quest!

Hehehe I'm glad it still has a semblance of silliness! I love when cats get themselves stuck in boxes or tubes and have to try and backtrack and that's the kinda vibe I wanted to capture. I think I just stuck him too far in!! And amongst too many teeth LOL

Hehe it is universal! On the bright side it's very freeing to be ok with scrapping something even after getting so far into it. I can rebuild, I can make a stronger piece with the lessons I learnt from the first time around!!! Never a waste really

I'm trying to be super cool and at peace with the fact that sometimes art doesn't work out as envisioned and that restarting is part of the process, and it's not time wasted. But oh man does it feel like time wasted when there's those looming deadlines upon us!

Today's struggle was getting like SO far into this dnd cat sticker painting (themed around cats getting into dnd shenanigans) and realising oh. That doesn't look whimsical, that looks like a murder 😭 I think I'll change it to the second image, just a light hearted nip at the tail!

Oh man I've not been coming on here lately. Just so busy lately that at the end of the day I just binge consume pretty art on Pinterest of all things

I already see some adjustments to be made but I can't contain the excitement to share what I've made as soon as I've made it hehe

To me the little sticker sheet is the highlight this month, I got to go really expressive with it this time

That and probably a lack of drawing and knowing I'd have to go from events to graphic design to events. But I'm happy to report that I'm so back!

Oooh and for what it's worth- feelings update! I feel so good lately. I was reluctant to say so at the time, but at the start of September it felt like an instant switch, like I broke out of something. I'm starting to suspect seasonal depression for being the root cause of all that wallowing

Busy with art I can't really share lately but I did do some late night doodling. It's rough because part of me feels like if I have time to mindlessly doodle I have time to study ughhghhgghhhh I have to get over that feeling, I don't need to be a machine

Let it all out! I hope you start to feel better soon 🫶

The Millenium Overlord

Funnily enough he's pretty self conscious about that! His body being ill-suited for the architecture of the place he grew up in fuelled a feeling of not belonging 😔 poor guy. But yes! doorways tremble in his wake
