For a moment I thought the timelapse duration was the duration of the entire drawing and I was about to launch myself into the void 💀😂

This time last week I was with my family in Efteling - I want to go back!

Artist! Post your favourite underrated art. Let's give'em more love 🖤

I think it's probably this. I don't think people engage with it as strongly as my other work, but I know how much I learned from the process so it feels like a success to me. Either way I still like it!

Thank you! 🙏❤️

If they're anything like my cats then the answer would be 1, as any attempts for a second one to join always results in them walloping each other over the head 💀

I love how much colour you brought into this!

Also the answer is there's no such thing as too many cats, ofc 🐈

There's something so totally captivating about painting portraits, real or imagined - I don't think I'll ever tire of it ✨❤️

I'll have to give that a listen as I love Amyl & the Sniffers! Amy Taylor is such an icon, a bit obsessed with her tbh.

They recently played a show here supporting Fontaines D.C. alongside Kneecap, very envious of everyone who had tickets 🥲

Honestly I feel like they should come with some kind of remotely activated alarm, always disappearing 💀

Truly are! They've been on my heavy rotation, along with Viagra Boys who are another fav find this year

He's super, isn't he? I'm not mega into funkos, but when they do a good take on a character I love I really must buy it :)

I've only read the first book so far, but it was absolutely brilliant!

Yay! I remember Outlaw Star <3
Toonami was the best, that's where my bros and I watched DBZ and kept the VCR busy all weekend recording marathons of the sagas :D (much to our parents' displeasure)
