I get so tired of people asking for “girl books” or “boy books”. All books are girl books.

Winter trees. I like foxes. This is a present for a coworker that found out she is deathly allergic to spruce trees.

word of mouth is witchy’s only form of advertising, so if you can, please reblog!

Witchy is one of my favourite webcomics. The layouts are so beautiful and the art style is amazing. Also the story is great so far. Basically, you should go read it right now.

[madeofbeasts-blog]

I like patterns.

Here is a peek at the rough draft of Batcat, a comic @thecatwhoexplainsthings wrote and I am illustrating.

A poem for today

Who am I supposed to be?

I used to think I would be dead by now.

These days I want to find something to live for

but there is still a mountain on my chest

.

Who am I supposed to be?

I still feel I’m a stranger to this life.

When I was young I thought it wouldn’t matter

But all these needs are stirring

(I am restless)

.

Oh world oh trees

oh endless days ahead

Are dreams just clouds or something more like mirrors?

.

Oh little me

Oh body made for dread

When will the hazy future me be clear?

And is she made of air

or can I reach her?
