Christmas is Different Now

With the holidays coming up, I have been reflecting on what this season has meant to me over the years. For a long time, Christmas was filled with light, celebration, and comfort. That changed almost five years ago when I lost my best friend right before the holiday. Since then, this time of year has felt heavier. Instead of joy, the season became tied to a sense of loss, and even the small things like music, decorations, or gatherings felt empty in comparison to what used to be. Grief has a […]

Moments Matter

Hi friends, Lately I have been thinking about the small, ordinary moments that make up most of our days. They are easy to miss, hidden in the blur of routines and habits, yet they shape us just as much as the big, dramatic events do. It is tempting to overlook them while waiting for something more exciting, but often those are the moments that stay with us the longest. When life feels repetitive, it is natural to fall into the rhythm of the week and lose track of time. Monday blends into […]

Clowns Don’t Cry Easy

Hi everyone, today I want to reflect on something that has been on my mind for a while, the way we deal with emotions and how we learn to express them. The title of this post, "Clowns Don’t Cry Easy," comes from a piece of digital art I made of a quiet clown surrounded by floating spheres. The image has a surreal feel to it, but what it represents for me goes beyond the design itself. It reflects years of struggling with how to show emotions openly, and how that journey has shifted over […]

Slipping into the Other World

Hi everyone, Tish here. Today I want to share a piece that has been sitting in my portfolio for a little while, one inspired by the crow. Crows have always captured my attention, not just because of their sleek, striking look but also because of what they represent. They often appear in myths, folklore, and stories as creatures of intelligence, transformation, and mystery. That combination of beauty and symbolism made them the perfect subject for me to explore. I created this particular […]

Addicted to Social Media

Hi everyone, Tish here. Lately I have been thinking a lot about social media and the role it plays in our lives. It is one of those things that has become almost unavoidable in today’s world. For many of us, it has been a source of entertainment, connection, and inspiration, but it can also be a place where comparison and distraction take hold. Looking back, I can see times in my life when social media became too central. There were days when I scrolled endlessly, measuring myself against […]

Sketch Diary and Flashes of the Past

We are now on day #3 of the Sketch Diary. Today’s sketch features an underwater creature that I first thought about a few months ago. I was aiming to create an overweight lizard with the ability to breathe underwater. I imagined it swimming kind of like how an elephant does. It likes to chill beneath the waves, waiting for something to swim close enough for it to catch. Sometimes it just sits there for hours with its mouth open, completely still, hoping some little fish will invite itself […]

Speedrunning towards Artist Burnout

Hello everyone! It has been a while since my last update, but I’m glad to be back and sharing some thoughts with you. Over the past few months, I went through a long stretch of burnout. For a while, the only thing I had the energy to do was sketch, and even that sometimes felt heavy. At first, I fought against it, but eventually I realized that stepping back was the best way forward. Burnout is a common part of creative work, especially when art is tied to a career. There are so many […]

Why I Am Here

Hello everyone! Tish here from Veil of Entheos. Today I wanted to share a little bit about how my path as an artist began and how it has shifted over time. Sometimes it feels good to pause and look back at those early sparks of inspiration that led to where I am now. As a kid, drawing was a daily ritual. I filled pages with anime characters, video game heroes, and more dragons than I could ever count. Dragons, especially, lived at the center of my imagination. Each sketch felt like a new […]

Experiments in the Garden

Hey there everyone. I wanted to expand a bit on my Gardening in April post and talk about some of the things I want to experiment with in the garden. I really want to get in there, try different techniques, and see what actually works instead of just planning everything out in theory. And if you are not into gardening, this might be a good time to try. You do not need much to start. Even the dollar store has seeds. You can plant a few, water them, and just see what happens. I was honestly […]
