we don't talk enough about the scritch of a quality fountain pen ✒️ this is the "carousel" in aluminum from @Ferris Wheel Press & it's such a pleasure to sketch with, smooth ink flow & the nib dances over the paper. i love being able to swap out my ink colors whenever i please.

i painted this over several slow months while dealing with a particularly tough time with my health and chronic illness, and maybe it's even stronger because of that. 🪞 #chronicallyillart

"healing spring" 12x12" acrylic on canvas. for those who obsessed over healing spells in fantasy novels, not because they wanted power, but because they desperately wanted to experience relief.
