been a whirlwind of highs and lows the past 30 days. visited a close friend in London, then immediately had to move to a new apartment when I got back. THEN had to put my 15 year old dog down. THEN take my cat urgently to the vet (she’s fine)! then flew down to LA to vend at bug fair the next day.

I've always liked it when total strangers show up and submit artwork done in media that have never been represented in previous books. Or when they feature rarely seen creatures. If you know an offsite friend or two, let them know and help to diversify the art book please? 🥺

actually crazy how we always have the military budget to attack other countries at will and launch wars but we can’t put that money instead towards fixing the affordability crisis. providing healthcare. education.
