Back for my weekly catch up on social media ✨

Part of a rainbow coming out from behind trees into a cloudy sky

I see a lot more rainbows these days 🌈

Even though I hate IG’s main feed it is much easier to catch up than on here

I set myself a deadline (end of October) to produce some art. I don’t get much done every day because ~fatigue~ but I’m doing more than before and it’s nice feeling somewhat productive ✨

A trans boy whose body is ravaged with a fantasy illness called "white leprosy". He hides behind a large snail shell, as a metaphor for protection, for having his own metaphysical place of safety. He has a small "lamin" in front of him. A maranao wooden tower after the indigenous people of the southern Philippines.

Thanks for the advice, appreciate it! Long way of from actually trying it out but will keep in mind. Enjoy your trip when it comes around!
