Y’all been emailing and DMing me as if Ozzy Cupid got you bad for these Valentines designs! I’ll offer them once more in February before Valentine’s Day :) . . I will be severely limited on time for work until Feb 1st. I’ll update y’all with more deets soon! All paid work will still be done on time. To keep to my deadlines I’ll have to cancel all Dirty Chai sketch Times and limit social media. Mapawlo for your understanding! Pivot pivot pivot 😅😅😅 
Right now. Right now I’m so happy. Nothing is perfect— I miss the gym, friends, hugs. I haven’t found a good balance yet of work and rest. There’s a lot of personal and professional growth to be made, but I’ve accepted that that’s just every day.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But right now? Right now I can say I paint dogs and kittens and horses and hedgehogs and birds and all animals for a living. I can say I am beloved, strong, hopeful, and eager to learn. I have fought hard in therapy to love my flaws. I’ve worked hard to find myself right now, content.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Lost in the details, swimming in the adorable references of your furbabies... I’d say Edmond’s face captures all my feelings right now. Delight. Hope. Promises of treatos. 🥰⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Process detail of Edmund’s portrait⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ 11x14 pastel⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Commissions booked until June 2021. Join the email list for when I decide to open my waitlist for the rest of the year!
