Apparently it got rejected immediately because you can’t participate in the creator rewards program yet when you’re located in the Netherlands.

Weird cause TikTok kept pushing notifications asking me to join the program?? it literally doesn’t work here yet, why did they allow me to join???

I’ll just stick to making videos for fun and to showcase my own art / products ✨

Okay so I’m never making a TikTok with a sound that could potentially earn you money ever again 🤠

Thought I’d try it to see how it works. Edited and posted it and it immediately got rejected without any explanation lol

I’ve been doing a lot of research on picture books so I can become a better picture book illustrator and I’m having SO much fun!!

I’m expanding my knowledge bank by reading and dissecting as many picture books as I can, to learn what I like and what works, and it’s been super helpful so far!

Experimenting in my sketchbooks ✨

That makes me very happy to read, thank you 🥹🫶🏻

Thank you! I love looking at other sketchbooks too!! That’s why I try to make an active effort to share my own haha 🤣✨

Some of my reels have been doing big numbers for me, which is very exciting!

Though it also resulted in me receiving quite mean comments for the first time. I’ve been lucky enough to have avoided this for most of my time online but it’s becoming a regular thing now..not so excited about that part 🥲

It’s only been 3 days and I already can’t take the fomo anymore from not participating in peachtober aaaAAaA!!

Thank you Lisa 🥹🫶🏻

Launching in my shop this Thursday October 2nd 👀✨

Just a periodic reminder that it's a good idea to bookmark your favorite artists' sites, sign up for their newsletters, and follow them everywhere you can. (My links are in my profile & pinned post!). Because of the current climate of censorship you never know where we'll get kicked off of next.

Je bent me aan het beïnvloeden om m ook te halen…

Ik ga stuk je hebt het spel net een week 😭😭😭 I get it tho!! In Dave the diver heb je een mini game variant ervan en dat heb ik volgens mij meer gespeeld dan de game zelf lmao

Yippee!! A new shop launch will be coming coon 👀✨ mark your calendars!

UK shipping will also be available for the first time 🇬🇧

So I found out about the world of postcrossing yesterday and it’s all I’ve been thinking about. I love the idea so much AAA I want to design more cards for my shop now

In 2023 I had my first fainting experience because of my phobia. I think my body remembers that shock from the first time and tells my brain to go into overdrive even more now.

If this keeps up I think I’m going to need professional help which feels so dumb ughh

Ahh one of my phobias has been getting so much worse over these past few years that I start to feel like I’m fainting whenever I hear people talking about it now :(((

Yeah, I luckily figured out what to do. The game gave me some mixed signals on progression (irrelevant progress bar) and the character move set but I think I can progress without any issues now 🫠

I’ve literally been looking at forums for two hours now and I can’t figure out what I’m missing?? I don’t mind having to look stuff up but that’s usually for late game or completionist stuff, not for the first quarter of the game?? WhAT

Damn I haven’t been this stuck in a game in ages this is incredibly frustrating lmao.

I’m playing spiritfarer and I can’t just seem to progress?? for each way to progress I seem to be missing one thing that I can’t obtain yet because I am missing another item that I also can’t obtain yet

Gelukkig is het boek maar kort 🥲

Working on some new products 🦇✨

Had to really dig for some of these colours lmao. Now it’s a fun mix between recent and older works 😋

This was fun ✨ #the_color_wheel
