hi friends!! this month's podcast is long-un of 40 minutes of rambling about how i've been feeling, how i want to feel, some candid stuff re: behind the scenes of my business, and a couple other tidbits! also me being paranoid about sophie. grab a hot drink and settle in xx

i did not draw a lot this past month because a) busy getting the shop prepped and b) burnout!! and seasonal depression!! hopefully that'll change this upcoming month tho, cause i miss drawing :( i'm just. so TIRED but i hope you enjoy this small sampling of sketches that i did doodle this past month!
started a new sketchbook — picked this up in a pack of 3 for $5 while i was in vancouver!! it's v basic but the paper quality is actually quite lovely

EDIT: i'm having a flash sale on my website tonight (cause i'm planning on locking it down and updating it a bit next week) from 8pm till tomorrow at 8pm, so the commissions will be temporarily unpublished so they'll still be ~secret~ and not available to the public yet. in case you're wondering where they've gone! if you're interested in buying a commission slot in that time, just shoot me an e-mail!

hi hello!! i hope y'all are well!!
i've rested up and i'm back from the brink of burnout but as a result, my brain feels like it's on actual fire with how many ideas i have in my brain and i keep getting WAAAY ahead of myself, and thinking about holiday packaging/products when i have like 3 deadlines to meet next week that i am definitely behind on. that's totally one of my biggest weaknesses — i get so excited about things and want to do it all at once! and there are only so many hour...
