idk how i'll afford getting the charging port or battery changed, sigh.. might just have to survive with this until Kuplii, in hopes I get some new zines sold there... zines that I still haven't made...

Thank you, it's been a lot lately..🥲

and oh yeah, PokemonGo is not very suitable for finnish winter! I mostly collect pokestops while in a car so that I can send people better looking presents than the depressing sandbox I can reach from our apartment :)

It's a constant struggle to be an artist who'd benefit from being online, but is just too anxious about AI invading artist safe spaces.. It's exhausting that we now have to be constantly alert, inspecting everything in case it's AI, before we can even enjoy the pictures we see online.

But, I struggle to share my traditional stuff online compared to digital.. So I just draw the hard way, and don't even receive dopamine from the online interactions? <:) make it make sense..

AI made me start working more on traditional art, even though digital is much more accessible for me.. Sometimes it's SO hard to keep on trying doing something that is more hard than fun, when my brain craves dopamine to function. But, when it starts getting easier, it's kinda rewarding? In a way..

before I started drawing I made notes on what to draw, this is what I would have drawn if not overcome by grief and misery :)
