If they're anything like my cats then the answer would be 1, as any attempts for a second one to join always results in them walloping each other over the head 💀

I love how much colour you brought into this!

Also the answer is there's no such thing as too many cats, ofc 🐈

There's something so totally captivating about painting portraits, real or imagined - I don't think I'll ever tire of it ✨❤️

I'll have to give that a listen as I love Amyl & the Sniffers! Amy Taylor is such an icon, a bit obsessed with her tbh.

They recently played a show here supporting Fontaines D.C. alongside Kneecap, very envious of everyone who had tickets 🥲

Honestly I feel like they should come with some kind of remotely activated alarm, always disappearing 💀

Truly are! They've been on my heavy rotation, along with Viagra Boys who are another fav find this year

He's super, isn't he? I'm not mega into funkos, but when they do a good take on a character I love I really must buy it :)

I've only read the first book so far, but it was absolutely brilliant!

Yay! I remember Outlaw Star <3
Toonami was the best, that's where my bros and I watched DBZ and kept the VCR busy all weekend recording marathons of the sagas :D (much to our parents' displeasure)

If you see this, QRP a gif of your first ever anime

Technically it'd be Pokémon for me too, but crucially DBZ was the first one I got into whilst being distinctly aware of it being an anime <3

I have a brand new website!

It feels insane to promote anything right now, because the world is terrible, but I'm hoping to send free artsy phone wallpapers to my newsletter.

Please check out the site, and let me know if you like newsletters. Or show me a picture of your pet. Or both!

It is so lovely to see all your work together like that!
I hadn't seen those works with the different buildings before, they are simply stunning.
So in awe of the breadth of your skillset ❤️✨

Ringed Fortress 🪐

A large fortress sits atop an rock at the center of an asteroid belt. Two characters look up at the fortress from one of the smaller foreground rocks. A comic panel in the center of the image shows a close of the characters.
