haven’t touched procreate in a few years because 2023-2025 were not kind to me or my family, but I did today Spending time in a studio environment with physical media has definitely helped me work more efficiently

Took the pup to a dog-friendly beach today for the first time, it was a hit 🌊 splashing in the shoreline: fun 🪏 not getting told off for digging in the sand, unlike in the garden: even more fun 🍖 cafe that sold doggy treat rabbit chunks: gourmet (photo credit @jackcurlew.bsky.social)

Freyja, my black-and-tan German shepherd puppy, wearing a red and black harness. Her tongue is sticking out and she looks pretty pleased with herself. She’s sat on a sandy beach with a blue sky above.

trimmed some of the plants in my terrarium (the fern was starting to lift the cork lmao) and it smelled all fresh and green like rainy springtime, which was not the smell I expected seeing as it’s been closed since the end of April. Plants, man. What even are they

You won't like your art if you also just hate yourself. Other people not liking it or not paying attention to it will always be an ache because social media is going to ding that basic self-hate all the time because you will be comparing yourself to others as a way to hurt yourself

I grew up in the US, but the 1st time I came to the UK at 21 I developed an internal abscess that would have turned into sepsis had they not operated on it immediately. Cost me nothing. Also shout to the GP who picked up my PCOS instead of saying “diet harder” when I came in for an unrelated issue
