Decided to give Threads a go since a lot of artists were saying it's super supportive.
Had someone tell me to fuck off cause I didn't reply to their message cause I didn't understand the question they asked🙃🙃🙃
Sooo it's going real great over there for me.

Cats against anti-immigration
Lettering with gold ink is highly satisfying 🌟
Also mighty impressed with my brush skills.
Don't you hate it when you're showering&your brain's going 1mil mile/hour thinking about all the things you have to do today&you're going through the motions autopiloting your shower so hard that you're suddenly like "wait, did I even wash my face?" But you don't know cuz you disassociated too hard?
Thank you so much!! I'm so happy with how it turned out 🥰🥰
Photo of traditional art by CreatingElena of Princess Jasmine and Rajah the tiger. The art is done in watercolour and pencil crayon. Jasmine is standing in her classic blue outfit with her hair draping around her and Rajah sitting beside her smiling up at her.
Might be a new favourite piece. 💖
I'm feeling so much more comfortable with watercolour these days!!

From now on whenever someone comments about how cold my hands are I'm just going to reply with:
"It's cause I'm dead inside."
I once helped *the* Chief O'Brien find a book at the store I was working at

That means a lot! Thank you!
Thank you!!!
Actually, scratch that. I am GOING to be a full-time artist.
Manifesting that right here and now. 5-year plan. Full-time artist making and sharing my art with the world.
Spiralling with anxiety that I might get laid off from my day job cause the business isn't doing as well as it needs to be.
Trying to channel the anxiety into motivation to just put my art and myself out there and just stop being so freaking scared.
I wanna be able to be a full-time artist!!!
Thank you so much!! 🥰

I spent about 4 hours painting this today 🍎🥹

Some days I forget that I've got a chronic illness until the days that knock me off my feet and I feel like total death and I go "oh yeah, that". And then I cry a bit and I stress a bit and then I accept that it's just gonna be one of those days and then I remember to drink some water.
