Well Hello There

 So... its been rather a while since I have posted on here, long enough that someone who left a comment believes I have died. 

I haven't, Im still here :). my lack of recent posting can be explained in a longer post to come once I figure out more of the features on here, feels like everything has changed slightly. 

Short version, attempted to follow in the footsteps of an Australian film and worked for an insurance company, several fun yet soul crushing relationships, including one that fractured my friend group somewhat alienating me from my friends and making it awkward to be around them as my monstrous ex is now a part of that group. But honestly the insurance co, as well as the prior events of working for the employer in the most recent posts on here sort of destroyed my confidence as an artist but also in myself. Hadn't felt like myself for a long time, and that is one of the few good things to come out of the Pandemonium we are all living through at the moment; while occasionally depressed and often dealing with intense amounts of anxiety I feel more like myself, the art me.

So no promises to post more things, but Im starting to feel like I can make things again (there are definitely some fun things from the past few years I will post, but Im in the process of working on a new website as well).

In the meantime here is a piece I did in the early hopeful days of quarantine for an art exchange I did with some muralist friends

Glad you're still here. I feel that as time goes by, I slowly lose what little sense of self I have (maybe I'm in the minority? I can never tell anymore). I'm happy that you feel more like your artistic self. Best of luck to yourself.

I have missed your whimsical wonders. Your art always warms my heart. A book for kids would be awesome. No pressure.
Fantastic stuff

May i possibly ask you to consider any form of printable pages. I cannot draw as well as you but i love to learn the watercolor painting techniques that i am studying. I would be glad to pay for them. Is there a patreon account where pages might be available? Or an etsy shop to buy the drawings? Or a coloring book with watercolor weight paper available. Your drawings bring me so much peace and relaxation when i look closely at them. Thank you for considering my request.
