Drifting Thoughts · 2021

Linocut from 2021.

"Do I truly hate what I'm working on? Or am I tired of looking at it and need a short break?"

"Do I really hate my art-making process? Or have I been doing the same thing for too long?"

An important question I have to ask myself every once in a while is "do I actually hate [blank] or am I just bored of it?"

I asked @hbtyson​ if she wanted to do a collab, and she suggested Too Ticky & Mymble 🧡 We’re both huge fans of Moomin so it was really a treat to be able to do a little homage to Tove’s work. I did the sketch for the characters, then Hannah added the background and did the (gorgeous!) lines, I added colors, and she added textures and finishing touches. I’m so happy w our result!

If anyone is interested, I've been more active on Bluesky!

Lineless commission for @hbtyson! 🦌

Commission slots still open for anyone interested!

It would be fun to visually compare what others have assumed my art influences are vs. my actual inspirations.

Asking because I would like to make a playlist of new music to listen to while I'm at my university's ceramic studio this week.

By the way, if recommending an artist, suggesting a specific album or song(s) from them would be very helpful!

Without knowing my tastes, what music would you recommend to me based purely on vibes?

The Giant · 2021

Your art is like a cold room, but your in the middle and your holding a lantern, it is warm, and caring, it gives you its light and comfort and slowly you feel the room heat with the welcoming solitude of selflove

Now that's what I call a flattering description!
