someday i will live in a house with less drafty walls. until then. fuck it: blankets on da wall
a corner of a room with a computer desk. the walls in view have two blankets on them: one red. black, and yellow plaid. the other has a faded pattern of kittens playing with yarn and ribbon, a blanket from when I was like. five maybe

ok this is the cutest boule I've ever made
a wonderfully round loaf of bread with a big x slashed on the top. somehow there is a perfect little triangle island of golden crust in the middle of it all.

back on my bread making bullshit again
bread dough in a bowl which is covered with saran wrap. it looks nice and warm in there, like a sauna. an hour long nap inside there would probably heal me completely. i would arise from my new doughy womb like that scene in The Substance: a new critter. a beautiful critter.

my website is still in a bit of a soft launch phase as I continue to add projects, but it's mostly done! lots of new design and animation stuff to see!

a screenshot of the top portion of my website (mobile version), featuring a headline backed by a video. Text: "Am I a motion designer that does graphic design… or a graphic designer that does motion? …Yes. I’ve never been one for labels or keeping myself pigeonholed in one skill. I’m a quadruple-threat visual designer (design, motion, print, and illustration), using all my skillls to make enjoyable, surprising, entertaining, and informative marketing."

the sequence of photos depicting Lydia's attempted chicken shakedown deserves a wider audience
A fluffy tuxedo stares at a piece of fried chicken covered in sauce and rice, held up by a pair of chopsticks, just out of her reach the chicken is brought in for Lydia's closer inspection. Lydia gives the person holding the chopsticks a deep look that seems to say, "i will kill you for this piece of chicken. i know there is sauce on top that could maybe hurt me, do not care. give me the chicken"

describe yr cat's personality with one photo
a big tuxedo cat loafed in a chair, receiving pets from another person. he likes hard pets, and the force of this one is causing his ears to be pressed down, and some of his skin pulled back so his eyes are making a funny squint. truly a silly little guy Lydia, a tuxedo with a little white moustache, staring down a person because she knows he's eating some kind of chicken, even under the spicy sauce, and she wants it. (it was general tsos, she couldn't have it)

lydia is pleased that i am home to grab her little head and clean the goop outta her eyes
a silly closeup of Lydia (an elderly tuxedo cat) having her head grabbed. her ears are pushed back so that only her face is visible. she has an expression of relaxed pleasure Lydia again but i am petting her kind of normally

both awake at the same time, i see
a living room in the cold light of morning. a little dog with big ears is curled up on the couch in a small nest of blankets a closeup of the dog. she has a light tan head and a mostly black body. she is looking at the camera with ears perked up and a relaxed, sleepy expression. the arrangement of blankets she's been sleeping suggests she made a little nest for herself.

we've all been there haven't we folks
a drawing of my oc in a sweater, fork in hand, hovered over a nondescript bowl. there are stink lines raised from my character, as they look down with a tired and awkward expression. text reads: so stinky & so sleepy an arrow points to the bowl and labels it "awful bowl of beef + rice"
