As an update to the previous good news: I got a kitten! Her name is Hathi. My old cat isn't too sure about her so we're moving slow, but she loves everything and every one right now and is lovin' it here.

IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU AND WE HAVEN'T EVEN MET YET

I hope everything continues looking up for you!

I sold my first ever print (and some more) at a gig!

I had work in two exhibitions tonight!



The first one was a 'blind date' with another artist for us to create work together, and the person i got paired with was really cool and it went super smoothly? I managed to get that one done early(???) and out of the way so i could work on the gargantuan effort my other piece took

We were all given an A2 sheet of paper and told to make work with it, and i can't chill for 5 minutes so i decided i was going to make a huge papercraft dollhouse type thing out of it. Made a bunch of works in miniature and set them all in little windows in this huge house. I've slept maybe 10 hours of the past 72 and i spent so much time working on it, going over the deadline by 4 days only getting it finished the morning of the exhibition

But i got it done! i didn't bow out and i didn't let my depression get the better of me and i finished something! I'm so, so proud of me!

I checked out the first exhibition and overheard some people talking about how my work in the second (above) was the one to check out. I'm so happy and proud of myself? Its a little hard to tell there but behind the house theres a deep cutout area with LEDs so it looks like a little galaxy

links to first exhibition

ahhh

What an amazing piece! I love all the detail in each little room, and admire the quirk and finesse of the assembly.

Congratulations on your great work!

that's amazing!

whoops, I'm employed

I've been AWOL for a while, but it's because of a lot of good things! I finished the manuscript I was writing over the summer and am editing it now. I'm trying to find an agent to represent the one I wrote last summer. And I came out as trans to my boss and she was very supportive, so I'll hopefully be able to be out at work soon!

My contract at the place I work got turned into a permanent contract and I got a pay rise!

Neat!

I got a job interview! Woot woot.

Extremely giddy for some reason


I mean this is me everyday even over an empty wrapper but im even nore giddy today because i just noticed again for 54th time this day that its almost winter and that means smores and i love smores
