Commission work for ineffable--omens: redesigning the characters of the Good Omens original book cover. It was a fun project! 😈😇
Commissions are still open! Feel free to message me for more info or inquiries 👋
Learning to let go, Learning to let things be, Learning to loosen the grip, Learning to trust in the process. Connections will happen, They won’t feel like opposing magnets trying to stick, A thousand knots to the stomach, Or added baggage on your already tired shoulders. True connections will simply flow, Comfortably intertwined. ---- Revisiting an old piece with a lesson that took me a long time to learn. And still learning 🤍
just you and me
Day 15: Weak. I'm always afraid to hold tiny animals like kittens or puppies, they're so fragile ;--;
Happy Chinese New Year ✨🧧🐀 新年快乐!
It's been pretty fun designing them, so I'm looking forward to see how they'll all look like in one chart!
Day 02: Noisy
You ever think too much and just yeah
Good news everyone, my Etsy store is now open! Link is in the bio ✨👋✨
Be sure to spread the word, thanks!
It’s blooming season.
Day 21: Big
Inspired by deers that have an irregular growth of antlers. What's seen as deformities, I see as something unique ✨🦌
“Sleep Apnea”
This is something that I’ve been wanting to delve more deeply and apply into my work. I don’t think that many people are aware of the severity of this common but serious sleeping disorder.
About 10 years ago I was diagnosed and, like many people, believed that it was simply just snoring. But after getting informed and doing further research, I realized how much it severely affected my overall well being.
“Sleep apnea is a serious sleep disorder that occurs when a person's breathing is interrupted during sleep. People with untreated sleep apnea stop breathing repeatedly during their sleep, sometimes hundreds of times. This means the brain -- and the rest of the body -- may not get enough oxygen.” -- Nayana Ambardekar, MD
I’ve been told that, before using the equipment to help with sleeping (the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure machine, or CPAP), my breathing sounded like a loud creature getting choked from its own body. I can joke about it now, but it was a really scary discovery! But despite this health condition, I’m still thankful that I got to be educated, to find out in my early years, to get the help and resources I need, and to be more understanding to those that are also diagnosed with it or something similar.
You can find out more about sleep apnea in your own time. I just hope that there will be more awareness about it, that it’s not just snoring, that seeing the term or the supplies used won’t be so foreign, and that there are solutions to improving their health in the long run.
Day 27: Thunder. Kind of a throwback to a piece last year, so it's nice to see the improvement 👏
My last piece for 2020. I've been resting and being with friends and family (virtually). If you haven't been able to do much lately because the clouds have been weighing you down, I just want to let you know that I see you and I'm with you. There's one quote that I go to that gives me a sense of peace, hopefully it can be for you too: "And I know sometimes you cannot breathe deeply, and the night sky is no home, and you have cried yourself to sleep enough times that you are down to your last two percent. But nothing is infinite, not even loss. You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day you are going to find yourself again." -- Finn Butler It's been an extremely difficult year, but I hope that you all take care and be gentle with yourselves, knowing that these hard times will pass. I'm going to take time off away from here too, but looking forward to what the new year has in store. Stay safe and warm, and thank you for being here 🤍
