✨MY 2025 ANIMATION SHOWREEL✨

I decided, heck to it, I'm going to be more confident in sharing my work. I got to work on some really awesome projects, so why not share?

Animation is neat. I'm very lucky and thankful.

Be safe, and don't you dare go hollow.

4 panel comic, une bunny and a witch cat are sitting around the fire, preparing dinner.
Dialogue goes :
"So, you're a Brush bearer, an Artist"
"Are you still painting?"
"I am"
"Hah! No way ! with the world on the verge of collapse and hoe fading day by day, you think art still matters?"
"Now more than ever..."

"Morning in the Garden" is the cover art for my new book, Shackling ~ Tales from Baba Yaga's Garden

(KS launches tomorrow!)

Flatlay style photo on a black desk. There is a graphite drawing with some pencils around it and two flowers in the upper-right hand corner. The drawing is of a lady in a black dress standing in a garden, with four little Baba Yaga huts around her like chickens. There is a vague, larger Hut in the background. It's pastoral and sweet I guess?

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

Someone's screenshot of a two-post twitter thread, from user blue (@bluewmist):

the fastest way to kill motivation is to make your identity depend on the outcome. it's called ego involvement. when failing becomes failing as a person, your brain starts avoiding the whole thing. not because you don't care, but because you care too much.

you don't need lower standards. you need less self-worth tangled up in your goals. the work gets easier when it's not about proving who you are.

to be honest I've always found it kinda fun to end up being a little bit crappy at whatever I try to do... Takes a lot of pressure off, and I feel like everyone can tell when you're doing something just for the love of the game

Playing with new procreate brushes!
Decided to draw this dude from my comic, he’s a nice polite magpie.

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

An illustration I made a few years ago; a small fairy with a flower hat and a little backpack is standing on a dry leaf. She's holding up a lantern, trying to look into the darkness around.
