Have some more photos from that one time we did a street shoot in downtown Calgary in what seems like a life time ago now

"What a boring utopia."

It's that time of year again where I get the urge to rewatch one of my fave animes of all time aka Ergo Proxy

Do y’all like bookish content? Cause I’ve got some things I can share here that could fit that vibe 😌

Never lose your whimsy—it’s where the magic lives 🦋✨

I held back from the conflict in the moment but now I’m wondering if I should have stood firm and said, “Just because you’re my boss doesn’t give you the right to speak to me like that.”

In any case, tomorrow is going to be interesting…

Double whammy — got yelled at by my boss for making honest mistakes in a job I am still learning. (Context: I’ve only been working here for 2 months.)

Really struggling with the feeling of inadequacy and imposter syndrome today fellas.

Anyone else who has experienced burnout more than once find themselves questioning if they’re actually able to work quickly anymore? Because I sure do.

I literally just signed back in from being on break from the holidays. Ofc I don’t know what the hell is going on and what needs doing. It’s only been 30 mins since I started working in 2025. Give me a minute…

Idk if anyone else whose experienced burnout has this as well, but whenever I am asked questions about tasks I haven’t had a chance to look at yet, I have to take a full beat to not instantly jump into defensiveness.
At least it’s not longer “what have I seemingly done wrong now?” 😑

Homes that have slanted roofs are really pretty & aesthetically cozy, but practically awful.
Not only are you limited in the space you’ve got for book shelves,
there’s a higher chance of a head injury.
Speaking from my 5 mins ago experience 🤕

Love it when a customer is insisting on something but is being rude about it.

I know customer service is important, but my take no bullshit attitude is even stronger. This email is gonna be spicy 🌶️✨

Wishing a very Merry Krampusnacht to you all 😈🔥⛓️⛓️‍💥…hopefully you’ve been behaving. Wouldn’t want to be dragged off into the underworld. (Actually some of you probably would…sickos) #Krampus #darkart #horrorart #gothicart

Why does my body gotta sweat so much when I commute into work in the mornings?? 😓 Totally defeats the purpose of my morning showers 🫠

There’s a particular flavour of satisfaction at hearing this tea: my ex-boss got made redundant at the previous job, but not before the temp contractor that worked under her left before their contract was up.

😌☕️✨

I have to give myself more grace when it comes to learning the ins and outs of the new job.
I have lingering trauma from before. All the times I tried (and failed) to defend/stand up for myself, esp anytime I was told I did something wrong. “You should just know this.”
Take a beat, and breathe 😮‍💨

I am not the sum of my mistakes.

I am not the sum of my mistakes.

My little raptors 🦖

Rough thumbnail sketches of the two main characters casting magic

Chosen sketch with a rough background and a cat added in with the text overlaid

Colour roughs with warm and cool palettes, with or without cat

Final cover art, the cat moved down alongside the characters to make more room above for the title

I always feel like my sketches go pretty rough compared to others, here's the general process for the cover I did for Terciel & Elinor by Garth Nix

Then vs Now 💀

Snow? 🌨️ In London?? 🇬🇧

First day of the new job, done! 💪💖

I must be on some kind of higher frequency because I managed to clean the oven, the kitchen, both bathrooms, and reorganize my bookshelves all within 2.5 hours today 👀✨
(Pictures only of the bookshelves because that’s what really mattered from today 😌📚)

Anyone else have that friend whom you might not speak to often, but you keep in touch by sending voice notes to them? Because I do 🥰

I went home recently after nearly 2 years. The last time I was gone for that long everywhere was shut down and no one was travelling (at least, no one I knew was). I had not realised how much I needed this break. How much my soul needed it until I got home… 💖🦋✨

There are too many social media apps but I really do need to remember I have this one still.
Hi. I’m here. More active elsewhere tho, so I’ve included my linktree in my bio in case ya wish to follow me elsewhere.
💖🦋

I think I’m just finding it very hard to be passionate about things that don’t bring me joy. And that’s been my work for the past three months.
I’m just so tired y’all…

When every possible delay happens on public transit, making you question the validity of commuting into work for the 85,839th time 😒

Anytime I hear a Lord Huron song being used in whatever media I’m watching

Pretty much, yeah 😆 I have a name to uphold
