After feeling completely inept the other day in CSP for a drawing attempt I consoled myself with some procreate noodlings to seem competent again and decided to paint a self indulgent little portrait figuring out a new tabaxi boy I’ve been concocting, his name is Senga.

Emotions manifest in a variety of ways when you’re abandoned. Whether it’s being abandoned from friends family or even being laid off from a job. The change in your brain chemistry and your healing from these moments is never linear. I think the same can be said about healing from these events.

I see so much more value and growth in lifting the weight over my head than chipping away at it. I can see it as a fight I can’t win or I can enter the fight not with the goal to win but just to damage the competition to such a degree that the next guy can finish what I started.

Having repeatedly being dumped on the curve and that being an unfortunate repetitive story in my life I’ve learned two ways to really productively heal. I can chip away at it and let things go piece by piece depending on the size and weight of what’s been endured.

Or I can fight and choose to come out of what had happened better than what I was coming out of whatever trauma I had endured. I can choose to not let anyone feel the way someone else or some event made me feel.

Almost nine years ago I was ghosted by my partner and being pushed into the streets from a bedbug infested apartment in down town Chicago. I just escaped conversion therapy and was working an internship. It was bleak but then this wonderful guy came into my life and yesterday was his birthday ❤️❤️

I’m so thankful that I met someone who loves me and got me through so many of the nightmares I was unraveling at the time. Without him I would have fallen deeper into homelessness and been choked by my depression. I can’t believe that now we have a house with happy deer bouncing around ❤️❤️🦌

My partner had never pet a goat before so I took him to a petting zoo and he had the time of his life. ❤️❤️❤️🐐

Holidays bring forth difficult emotions and questions that will go unanswered from family members no longer around. The abandonment, being told you weren’t wanted in your teens by your grandmother and how those words echo endlessly on holidays like today that we so heavily associate with family.

This month's freebie lizard is the western skink! Expect this guy to sneak along with your order this month if you nab anything from my shop :D I love using these freebies as an opportunity to experiment, tried a simplified style this time.

My partner and I have been renovating a house for over a year so for Valentine’s Day I wanted to make a card showing us working away. ❤️

Had a flat track race at work and injured my pelvis lol! Been healing up and catching up with work but really hoping to have more art again soooon!

Magic! The Gathering-themed commission featuring Ajani being about to bring down the Grimdancer. One of my most recent pieces, and it was pretty helpful to start with a few rough scribble thumbnails rather than instantly focussing on one composition - go figure. Learning never stops ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Finally starting on some logo designs and branding ideas for my custom motorcycle builds. The branding idea I’d Unicorpse. Brining motorcycles back from the dead and making them into the unicorn of that particular motorcycle. #unicorn #traditionalart #sketching

More sketches today :) wanting to work on some branding and world building this week so it will be fun to how far I get outside of all the work sketches. #traditionalart #sketchbook #sketching #furryart

You are up to date.
