  • Thank you so much! I’m glad you think so! 😃

    I love drawing biblically accurate angels and peculiar creatures! I’ve been drawing for as long as I can remember, but I was particularly influenced to draw strange creatures after playing Pikmin, and that kinda stuck with me! Typically what I do is to just draw whatever image is in my head and I’m particularly fond of things with lots of eyes or none of them. Some ideas come from dreams wheras others arise spontaneously. Others come from simply messing around while sketching.

    I use Paint Tool Sai 1 for all of my drawings. It’s an older program but it’s very lightweight and also has a really good pen stabilization and pressure system! I honestly wouldn’t trade it for anything else.





  • I was talking with someone from the UK about this article that they showed me. They were outraged by it, and I said I don’t see what the problem is with it. They were weirdly fixated on the “asylum seekers” part, to which I told them the article says it will apply to vulnerable persons regardless of immigration status, and I asked them why they were fixating so much on this applying to one specific demographic.

    This caused them to go on a tirade about “migrants are getting more rights than people who were born in this country” and how they aren’t a racist because they married an Italian. They said “it’s all about divide and conquer” and I asked them why they care so much about what ethnicity or nationality a person is, over if they’re vulnerable and receiving healthcare equality or not. This quickly devolved into them going on about how the UK is “being taken over by migrants”. So, I asked them if they knew any of these migrants, if the UK is “being taken over” by them. They said no.

    This started from them watching a YouTube video made by some influencer who was getting angry over the same article. I’m more than convinced that social media can have its bad sides.






    • School plays! I got into a costume and acted on stage. There were some parts where I had to sing and I looked forward to those plays so much I would be giddy! The one I remember the most was when I had to dress up as a gold star.

    • Building igloos out of snow. Rather than building snowmen we would build chairs, beds, etc. made out of snow!

    • Drawing. I remember my mom and dad telling me about how I could just fill up an entire page with different things! My grandma was a painter for most of her life, and whenever we went to her house, she’d go upstairs to retrieve her art supplies and teach me how to paint.

    • Swimming. I just love water in general and the tradition was that we’d go to a fast food place immediately after. If it was after a session at a public pool, I’d still smell like chlorine even after showering. The combination of the smell of the inside of a McDonald’s and chlorine is such a formative memory to me for that reason haha.

    • Laser tag. I was really good at it!

    • School trips! I went to this really cool science museum with my class once, I would love to say the name of it, but then that would reveal where I live. It was one of those museums where you could do practical things and it was really fun. I also loved it whenever we went go-karting even though I’d always end up with bruises on my inner thighs.
