Good news everyone, my Etsy store is now open! Link is in the bio β¨πβ¨
Be sure to spread the word, thanks!
Lately I've been feeling small and more scared to go outside.
The bad news can be so loud and overwhelming, my anxiety has definitely been coming in waves. And I'm sure many (if not all) of you are feeling something similar.
I hope you can connect with this piece in some way. Please stay safe and take care of yourselves π€
Hello, I moved! I've been using this time to settle in and rest lots π I'm learning that big changes leave me extremely anxious, but I try to remind myself that, as uncertain things are, brighter and happier memories can/will be made soon. I hope you all are doing okay in the meantime.
Combination between Thanksgiving and my birthday. I'm thankful for you all!! βΊοΈ
"Hey... I'm not going to hurt you." Revisiting one of my first ink pieces back in 2016. How time flies! I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and is having a restful weekend π§‘

I will be honest. I was not looking forward to drawing this zodiac animal for a long time because I get overwhelmed with drawing details π₯² But my goal this year is to overcome more obstacles, so here I am!! I have finished. And it turned out way better than I imagined.

I'm more than halfway through the zodiac!
I made this piece a few months back and it took me enough mental strength to finally post what I have. The older version seemed somber and still, so I intensified the melancholy look, on how grief and heartache can continue to hold on after the moment(s) has passed.
But instead of trying to "Not think about it" or forget, sometimes it's best to get in tune with how you're feeling, imagining this feeling like a temporary visitor. Sit with it, hold its hand, tell it, "I see you, I hear you," and when you're ready, let them leave, until the next time if or when they come back.
Here's to peace, here's to healing, and here's to feeling your feelings this holiday season β¨
Happy holidays, everyone! β¨πβ¨
I hope you all stay safe and stay warm β€οΈ
