For those unfamiliar with the lore: I adopted this guy from some store-bought thyme I got in December. Didn't have the heart to kill it or release it into the Canadian Winter so I ended up adopting. Going on 5 months!!!!

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

Channelling the late 2000s, early 2010s. Maybe a little glomp as a little treat

A fish eye pov of a person wearing a fursuit head and paws. The style consists of a graphic quality with a red, green, and teal palette. The fursuiter holds their paws over their head in a "rawr" formation

Point Pelee piece that I made last year! The digital piece was printed and hung up on a banner 🌿

A digital illustration inspired by the National Park, Point Pelee in Ontario, Canada. The illustration depicts 5 of the ecosystems in the park, sand spit savannah, marsh, swamp forest, dry forest, and beach. In a colourful depiction, it features a myriad of barn swallows, monarch butterflies, and a sandhill crane.
