Kate's Tumbler / Please Buy My Art

So in case you haven't noticed I make stuff. Making things is probably why I am here on Earth. A few years ago I used to work in a office. Now if you work in an office that is fine I am not saying about you or your job but it was not for me. I found everything in the cubical world to just be kind of fake and sad. No one I knew loved their job, they just did what ever it took to get through the day. So to me it was crazy that you would spend 8 hours, often much more a day doing something you don't care about and isn't really important everyday. As you can guess I got depressed very depressed and so came a day I just couldn't do it anymore. I took medical leave and never went back, that was two years ago. These days I love what I do and I am working very hard to make a living off of my craft and art work, it is literally a dream job. So if you have a dream I encourage you to follow it and if you have an extra buck and an eye for art maybe help me live mine.

Covid-19 you came to the wrong neighborhood. When our government fails to act makers, queer people, and socialist step up to make ppe for our healthcare workers. We’ve made more than 17,000 face shields so far with more on the way. #acmecreationlabs #acme #ppe #openppe #makers #makerspace #dallasmakerspace #lgbtmakers #dsa #dsantx #openppeproject #healthcareworkers #dallasmaker #dfw #getusppe #coronavid19 #corona # (at ACME Creation Lab) https://www.instagram.com/p/B_F2z5aHF2r/?igshid=13b3bj6dsvz18
