Throwback time! Woohoo!!
Years ago I needle felted this little DuckTales family — Scrooge, Webby, and the boys. They’ve been living on my shelf ever since, but it’s time for them to find new homes.
If you’d like to adopt the whole set, they’re now up on my Ko-fi shop!

Morning!
Back at the Coffee Shop. Quite busy in here today. Perhaps people were attracted in by the Xmas Tree and decorations in the windows 🎄
Didn’t fancy much food yet, so did a pay-it-forward.
Nice to be among people instead of WFH on my own.

Anyone here use either those rubbery Apple Pencil tips or a matte screen protector? I would love to use my iPad for art more, but find the slippy screen difficult.
If I can make it feel more like my Wacom tablet, I will be happy.
Suggestions welcome!

I discovered yesterday that the community coffee shop that I occasionally work from supports Pay-It-Forward. They even have a donation page on their site for it.
I love awesome stuff like that ♥️

Well, it’s been virtually the only game I played for the last 5 years, but this means fuck you and bye, Fortnite.
SO... I'm pretty much done with Fortnite. There were statements made by Tim Sweeney saying that AI usage doesn't need to be disclosed, and then AI usage was found all over this current season- from art to sprays to in-game songs. Between that, and the upcoming shitty wizard collab... Yeah, I'm done.

Dude nobody talks about how hard it is to lose love for your comfort hobby/ OC like it’s so fucking devastating its like losing a limb, a part of yourself that you were able to explore in a safe environment when real life couldn’t give you that.

Remember, artists: when people say, “I’d buy a print of this,” they don’t mean it. That sentence itself is just a weird compliment that rarely converts to an actual print sale. It’s like if someone ate a very good hot dog and then said, “I could eat 10,000 of these right now.”

I think I've found the best breakfast ever.
Jumbo Rolled Oats, Alpro Oat Milk (No Sugar), topped with Strawberries, and a milled Flaxseed, Sunflower, Pumpkin & Chia Seeds & Goji Berries mix, and a few drops of Maple Syrup 😋

Recently, I’ve very much noticed the extra steps involved in doing anything online…
Navigating cookie notices and popups, skipping adverts, dealing with spam and scam messages. Even as I type this, autocorrect is doing its best to get in the way!
And why is there no edit function here!?
