"Wonder", my newest Woolbeast sculpture 💛 A reminder to myself: as an artist I'm always studying, trying to capture nature in graphite and paint. But as things are broken down into shapes and lines and values - don't forget to stop and simply marvel at how magical the world around you can be. 🐝🐝🐝

Baby steps

There's always going to be bad news and suffering happening somewhere at any given time. It's not insensitive to find joy and distractions in your own life. This is what we're fighting for after all, that we can all be safe and happy. So don't waste those opportunities to enjoy life when you can.

This year me and @martaart.bsky.social went to TB festival, and came back home with sore feet, and a suitcase full of amazing art!! We were so lucky to meet some of the coolest artists around, including @lucieebrey.bsky.social 🫠 she captured our cat’s gremlin personality perfectly!!! È pazzesca!!🫶🏻🥹
