The Church doesn't understand jack shit about divorce and marriage. I just want to say that right now. As some one who has been going thru a divorce, and stumbling on love when I had no intention to -- the things I was taught years ago, are gross. Keep religion out of my bed.

You will have total flops. You will have bad art days. You will go in not feeling it and force it and then feel regret.

You're an artist. You're human. Its what makes life. Its what makes it worth it.

Learn with out abusing yourself. Learn and make a mess.

This morning I have just about ten pages of the coloring book finished!!!

a plant-like fae being stands on a green patch of foliage and mushrooms, with an anthro carrot man and a long green dragon who holds a flower. There are golden butterflies around them.

A digital piece I did a long time ago. I recently used this as inspiration for one of my coloring book pages! #illustration #dragon #fantasy

I do!

A digital drawing featuring a little landscape with a pond, ducks, a path and some trees and flowers.

Lil ducky landscape!

A shoal of silver-blue swallowtail shiners, small minnows, surround a shining orb in the top left corner of the painting. Their scales shine with yellow light.

When decency and empathy go, so does our humanity. At some point, it’s not just the hateful voices—it’s the willfully indifferent ones we can no longer afford to keep close. I’m grateful every day for those who choose compassion over cruelty, and remind us there’s still good out there.

Thinking about starting a traditional art vlog.

making a mess for better feelings.

Maybe its the rooster.

Sorry to burst your bubble but there's always hope. Things can always get better. The sun WILL in fact come up tomorrow. It won't happen on its own, sure, but all we need to do is keep putting one foot in front of the other.
