Hey guys,  I've been working on this blog post all day long and I've found that I really only have one thing to say. I want to paint colorful animals. I want to paint colorful animals! I don't care that the trees are bare and the leaves are brown, there is always time for color in life. Some people may find this surprising to learn about me, but I really enjoy bright colors. Though, my wardrobe may tell a different story (yes it's black...almost entirely black...). I adore pop art and colorful

It's so funny how we get so attached to a tiny number that only exists on the interwebs.

My art has decided to move past things that are just creepy cute and enter the mainstream. Although this sounds quite horrifying to some, I think it may be a good thing for the both of us.  As I am vehemently pursuing a career as an illustrator (which is code for 'manically producing artwork and spewing it onto all social media platforms') I've found it is important to be well rounded. So I've been trying new things.  The weirdest part is that the initial sense of betrayal I thought I would feel
