For those who don’t know me from the former bird app, I’m a nerdy digital artist and occasional activist who is passionate about disabled representation and promoting creativity within our community!

Happy #FullMoon in October!

I love circles and astronomy. I find calm and even joy in seeing them and in the process of creating my own. I hope you find your own moments of calm and joy as we fight things far scarier than werewolves.

Graphite drawing of two circular objects. One is completely dark. The other is light, with the circle of negative space surrounded by a halo of marks suggesting a celestial event and disruption.

But the theme is very simple... Hospital Glam!

Literally anything you'd wear to the hospital or while staying at the hospital (yes this includes pajamas)!

This will be a chill and fun #ChronicLoaf family gathering to help us kickoff the #Criptober season! Hope to see you there fam! 🥳💻💃🕺🎊🎃🎶
