I think that art (writing, painting, acting, film) teaches patience, empathy, discipline. I think creative practice can create community and change the world. Maybe that’s why oligarchs are so desperate to crush it!

Social media is a hellscape, every tech company is evil, so we are back to blogging like it’s the early 2000s!
Just an intro to being a terrible entrepreneur, looking back on my first shop, and a little rant about the costs of everything. Y’know, light stuff.

Peeking out of my space to let folks know that I still have a little room for cartoon avatar & pet portrait commissions before the holidays, and am open for Book Cover projects!
You can put eyeballs on the covers I’ve done here and see if the style suits you:

Book Covers
They say not to judge a book by its cover, but with bright colours and evocative imagery designed to reflect the story in the pages... maybe it's not such a bad thing to snatch up a tome based on that...

Did a couple of pet portraits for a pal today. Kato, his big smiley guy, was a pleasure to know for all of his 14yrs.
