Want to make some patches again... might go iron-on this time unless people feel strongly otherwise. I usually sew some even with ironed patches anyway.

“What makes something art?” It’s the human decisions, the fingerprint of their specific viewpoint appearing in the final work, that makes something art.

Whatever silly little thing lives in the core of your heart probably resonates with other people more than you think. Let it help you find your way as you create it.

Keep your shoulders strong, stretch, and take breaks, or else. Taking care of your spine will take care of your art.

Friends gifted me this massive grimoire of a sketchbook for my birthday - my current book for scale on left, roughly 6x8". It's heavy! Not sure what to do with it yet, but I feel like I should put arcane bug spells in it...

I met a living stick, and she put her leg into my nose, then scaled my head

I spoke of it generally from time to time, but I was very ill (digestion related) for a lot of 2025. It took about 5 months to get proper treatment & the medication was rough and required its own recovery. Very grateful I was able to enjoy the holidays & looking forward to a better 2026!

My little collection of mantis pins, getting an inspection from my girl Princess. I can't really afford to collect enamels but I decided to make a single exception: Mantises!

I feel a lot of pressure to keep my mouth shut about this but it's so incredibly awkward to be from the US living in Canada right now. I'm one little person and my feelings are of no consequence in the grand scheme, but I know so many good people back home doing what they can who deserve better.

Friends are here for New Year's and we exchanged holiday gifts. I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS 🪲

Found my favorite gf cinnamon donuts I hadn't seen in YEARS when we hit up a different grocery today. One of those with coffee is an easy "you know what, everything's alright" ☕🐛

The symbiotic relationship between person who is nervous/unsure of commenting how much they enjoy someone's writing/art, and the writer/artist who is far too flustered by the compliment to reply anything besides crying emojis, hearts, and smiles behind their screen.

LO, THE FEAST OF THE BUG KING!
✨ It's my birthday!! 🐛
After a rough as hell year with a lot of challenges, I'm finally starting to feel better and look forward again. If you've been enjoying my work & feel so moved, I've got a tip jar & a wishlist! Or tell someone about my art! Much love 💖
