Not all art is talent.

Some of it is frustration.
Some of it is discipline.
Most of it is showing up when you don’t feel like it.

This is what people don’t see behind the artwork.

If you’re building something, keep going.

When you can't choose just one idea, you choose all of them. 🎨🎨🎨

The easel doesn't lie. This is what "I'll just start one more" looks like in real life. Somewhere between chaos and creativity, there's a masterpiece. Probably. Maybe. We'll see.

To every multi-project, tab-having-too-many, idea-chasing human out there: you're in good company. 🙌

I need to cut some precise circles in my map, so I've weaponised a compass by fixing a craft knife blade where the pencil lead usually sits.

It works!

Also looks like I'm capable of some very serious geometry.
