˗ˏˋ SEPTEMBER ART UPLOAD & UPDATES !

Life. Crazy, huh?
I’m writing this at 7:27 in the morning while watching a squirrel hop and skip across the street out my window and I promise there is a train of thought here. I’ve updated my portfolio! After taking a break in August, we’ve crept up into September with some new pieces on various pages! Including the home page! Isn’t that exciting? Spooky season is just around the corner, (although spooky season is every season if you’re brave enough), and I have many projects I’d like to begin, tease, and even produce! One of which being an interactive, illustrated pumpkin puppy field guide adventure, delving into all things that go bump into the night. Potentially.

While I don’t have any hard deadlines and firm answers with expectation dates, it’s all to put my mind at ease and pump the pressure off of my perfectionism. Hence the potentially. You see, and you may have noticed, my work has quite the theme and with Halloween coming, it’s put me into quite the existential crisis. I wonder if I’m producing enough work; I wonder if I’m behind in my dream “artistic timeline.” There are moments where I feel as though I’m racing against an invisible clock to bust out something big and grand before the end of October, especially all before I’m twenty-five, and what does that even mean? Having created this intangible weight caused me to realize I’m not creating art so much for myself anymore, and rather, to impress myself and consequently, other people. And what the bunk is that! Have I said all of this before? Am I but a broken record, with my sound drifting through the autumn air like a fallen leaf? Oh my god.

This was meant to be more of an, “Hey, I’m still here!” announcement, but welcome to a brief collection of my thoughts and rambling. More art soon! More art with heart soon!

I’d like to take a nap before I go to work (which is going great, by the way!!), and so I’ll leave you with an unfinished extra from my mini (and still ongoing!! more on the way!!) “Summerween” series.
