special note for tumblr: 6 years ago this was the first place post-blogspot where i really took my illustration work seriously and starting posting. i didn’t have any real illustration jobs so i became my art director. “fake it ‘til you make it” they say, but what it means is you’re not an “aspiring” anything. you already are and you just gotta keep trying.
i know we all say how much likes don’t necessarily assign value to art, but i really did appreciate all the encouragement and engagement with strangers over the years, many of them becoming friends in my community now. so thank y’all for just looking at my work and following it in all it’s unexpected changes. i’m going to keep making more and more and i hope you stay with me.
thanks for watching me grow <3
