hello! (´• ω •`)ﾉ

lately, I've been reflecting on themes and imagery that I find myself repeatedly drawn to and how that may inform the art I'm trying to make moving forward. it feels like a simultaneous narrowing down and expanding of ideas as I recognize certain patterns popping up. it's been fun doing studies of photos and art that feature interesting shapes and finding ways to incorporate those symbols into my own drawings. especially as it relates to Sleepy Creature, I've had to get intentional about what I'm trying to convey and that requires a more focused approach to art and storytelling that I didn't previously prioritize. creating her and her world demands some amount of specificity and it's been nice having something to work on regularly and develop in a continual fashion rather than starting and finishing within a small time frame (aka how I've generally approached art the past decade, lots of one-off concepts that I never revisit lol). I feel like I'm evolving alongside her and it's interesting to bear witness to change in a tangible way~
