Periodically I remember that I like drawing with white (digital) pencil on a black background. Also, raccoons are cute.

Folks on here need to figure out when someone is posting ironically. If you've never run across them before, check out their page, maybe? Or maybe we are in a post-irony stage where everyone needs to only post sincerely but then... jokes 😭
