I also want to say your art is awesome! One of my cousins is a teacher and a few years ago I suggested Displacement to her for her classroom library. She loved it, and it's still in her classroom now 🥰

that's amazing, thank you so much!

Ur good at art! Please take the W. Not to be parasocial but I admire your skills and I assume most of your followers feel similarly. Why else would we be here? I get that insecurities a bitch but do you really think we're all here ironically?

thank you, that is very kind :o(
