hello tumblr friends, it's been some time

i don't check in here much anymore but i miss a bunch of y'all and it's interesting to me that other social media sites don't have the same sense of community as i've felt here

or maybe it's just that i spent a lot of time here at a weird stage in my life (a weird stage can be like six years long, right??)

anyway all this to say, i am still alive, and i hope everyone is well, and i still check in on some of you and think of y'all with fondness

i am kicking around on instagram these days under my (god forbid) actual name, you can find me at @ steph.westerk.illustration, you say hi if you wanna and it won't be weird

miss you guys!

the problem with having a decade old tumblr blog is that there are posts on it from a decade ago

i know it is traditional for me to return to this hellhole once a year for Eurovision, but i cannot in good conscience engage with a production that is tacitly endorsing an ongoing genocide

as much as the EBU likes to say that they are a non-political organisation, they cannot deny that their actions DO have a political consequence and to bury your head in the sand under loopholes about EBU membership rules is frankly cowardly

there's a LOT of you that are new here (thanks, tumblr radar!) so this seems like a really good time to remind everyone that I TAKE COMMISSIONS.

i do not have a price list for you because it's going to vary depending on what you need, so please do come talk to me about it! i promise i don't bite, and i charge in Australian dollars so the exchange rate is likely in your favour if you're in the US/UK/Europe.

please DON'T message me here - it's very likely that i won't see it for actual months.

email is 100% your safest bet if you would like me to see and respond to your message in a timely manner, or you can DM me over on instagram if you absolutely can't email for whatever reason.
