“Mankind is not to be trusted with hoards of gold. It poisons him.

No creature is safe in a world in which any one of mankind has limitless gold. That way lies only chaos. Dragons keep that chaos at bay."

- The Poisoned King by Katherine Rundell

And to those making the effort to support local artists with your holiday shopping, thank you.

Original paintings and prints of my work are available in my Etsy shop.

We need the voices of artists and the strength of community more than ever. Thanks for reading. 🕯️

There are so many of us, creatives trying to make it through Q4, neurodivergent artists expending extra effort to appease the algorithms while protecting every feeble spark of inspiration. Know you are not alone if you feel it too.

My ghost of Christmas present is a heavy weight, a dulling gray, sapping any energy I had stored up for winter.

I know I’m not the only one, whose everyday depression transforms into the even more potent seasonal kind, as the days grow cold and short.

Stubborn hope from Memphis. 🇺🇸✨
