FAQ

Someone kindly mentioned something about a FAQ so here ya go. 1. Where can I buy your work?

Stickers/Keychains/and more - Etsy Shop Prints - Inprnt Dark Illustrative Prints - Inprnt 2. What program/tools do I use? Photoshop, with an old intuous pro tablet. Occasionally I sketch on printer paper with a no.2 pencil before moving to digital. 3. Are you available for commissions? Generally no, unless you have two of these three things, a lot of money, the perfect idea, or I'm struggling to pay bills. 3. Where do I get my inspiration? Things in my life that spark joy, nostalgia, textures, colors, and maybe the need to cope with life/mental illness. 4. How long have you been drawing/painting? Professionally, about a decade, in general, most of my life, so about 30ish years. LMK if you have any other questions. I love answering them.

Do you have a favourite brushset or maybe custom brushes you like to use?

This is what I use for 99% of my work.

Water crab likes collecting little objects in sturdy bubbles created out of remnants of its molted shell. Looks like this one found a tiny moon.

How did you choose to sell your work over doing commissions? You have a lovely style and incredibly creative ideas, I feel it is easily lovable. But I struggle seeing my ideas as such so I opt to doing commissions but I've been struggling lately, wanting to do my own work but worry nobody will care for it. I suppose the better question is how to muster the courage for it? To believe others will love your creation the same when it doesn't directly relate to them?

Respectfully, people need to muster courage to do their own art? I just do and then post. I don't know if I've ever felt anxious about the process. Sure I get disappointed when a piece doesn't perform well but that's it. I just don't register or care that people might not like my work.

In fact, story time. Recently I was seeing this guy. He was the whole player alpha bro type. Don't judge me. He started doing his whole dehumanizing script on me. You know, the red pill BS where they make the woman feel inferior or w/e. Eventually he went for my art. Directly misinterpreting every piece I showed him, misnaming my works intentionally. At some point trying to argue that art didn't even need to exist. I think I pissed him off with how unbothered I was. In that regard, he was nothing to me. His opinion ceased to matter almost entirely. So, I guess that kinda made me realize in response to your question, maybe I really just don't care. I feel perhaps there was a time I did? But, the more I created the thicker my skin got to criticism, the more I found my people, and the more safe and comfortable I felt within myself. I think it's just, the more you practice, the more you understand yourself. The more you understand yourself the more people relate to that. The more people relate to that, the more you become connected to something greater than yourself. The more you become connected the more stable you become. LIKE A MYCELIAL NETWORK!!! Ok I've had too much coffee.. Bye now.

H2Octopus is the layman’s term for this particularly unique creature. Somehow this octopus manages to maintain its shape which is comprised almost entirely of water; minus the lightly scaled membrane connecting its tentacles. If you try to remove it from its aquatic home it simply melts into nothing. So please don’t.

The tide whale is so rarely documented due to how often it is mistaken for a rogue wave. They are relatively small, about the size of a dolphin. The only recounts of their songs have been from drowning survivors; described as a series of water droplets echoing off the well of a deep cavern.

Grocery store worker here! If I see someone twice in one day I usually don't think too much about it. I might make a lighthearted comment like, "Oh boy, what did you forget?" but ultimately it's just a point of relation with a customer, not a value judgement. And honestly? If the customer was nice the first time around, it's always nice seeing a friendly face a little later in the day. Nobody's judging you: if anything, it's probably nice to see you again!

Thank you! <3

Sometimes I feel like a creep seeing the notification that you posted something looking at it and putting the little heart button even when it's onky been about a minute since you have posted it, although sometimes I'm busy and heart it up to days later.

Whether it has been one second or one year, I still appreciate the likes. No need to feel like a creep, but I get it. I feel weird going to the grocery store two times in the same day. My paranoid brain thinks the cashiers are all looking at me like "what is this weird lady that's obsessed with the grocery store".
