Living happily far from home. Interested in meditation. Here for art, poetry and calligraphy.

I pay respects to the traditional owners of the land I come from and the land on which I stand.

I'm not a "pronouns in bio" type of person but I support trans people and just about every other kind of person.

Another speedpainting. This time it's Rhea, the main character of a game idea I never finished but hope to return to someday.

Odd coincidence: this was also painted in a year of the Fire Horse (丙午年, both this year and 1306). As a symbol of stubborn resistance against seemingly unending injustice, may it inspire everyone this year.

even his soil stolen, his
orchids without roots

(explanation: During the Yuan dynasty, China was ruled by Mongols. Like many contemporaries, Zheng Sixiao refused to work for them, and would even sit facing South, turning his back to the Mongol capital Dadu in the North.

His famous painting of an orchid appears to float. When asked why it had no roots, he said 'don't you know these barbarians have taken even the soil from us?')

found my spark to do art again!

here are some recent pieces inspired by the badass graffiti i saw in europe during my trip last year 😊

(still need to refine my skills after a hiatus, but it sure feels good to be back!)

Know that you're lucky
when long-legged wide-winged storks
build their nests near you.

Pull yourself together
If only out of fear
Like a mollusk

shaking in the wind
caught on a broken sea shell

Wind whispers
Of hidden things
Buried in the sand
