Reposted by Alex BlottTeeg @teeketch.art · 18/05/2026I still really like these old weird doodles. I find it fun to write little blurbs and things when I draw characters though they don't always get shared along with the art. Maybe I should move forward in expressing the full breadth of the weirdos I draw haha 211418
