I don’t even know if this is a moment of surrender or defiance.

What do you see?

I painted this figure without a face.

Not to erase him, but to leave space—for memory, absence, projection.

I keep wondering if he’s waiting for something. Or if I am.

Ha, I use my left over Zyn cans for art stuff, too.

No thanks. BSky has a chat option. You can contact me there or not at all.

They can be for sale, yes. I haven’t had any prints made yet, but which ones are you interested in?

Ooo, this is lovely.

Every time I show up, even when it’s not “perfect,” I move forward. If you’re stuck, frustrated, or doubting yourself…you’re not alone. Keep going.

I’m unsure if that URL is supposed to go anywhere cause it seems to be broken, but thank you.
