just a tired artist run by 3 cats in a turtleneck
there’s something incredible about the art of becoming. Especially the art of becoming yourself.
that art of becoming is what i find myself pursuing into with my creative work,
which leads to asking questions like:
who am i?
what stories do i want to tell?
what fascinates me? confounds me?
how can i explore those things?
there is something profound about being human and i want to write stories about that mystery.
so that’s what i do! well…after dark anyhow.
🌞
while the sun’s up, i work as a software engineer engineer at IBM writing lots of technical emails, attending meetings that could have been technical emails, and laughing up a storm with my coworkers.
🌙
when i get home from my day job, i split my time between writing and illustrating for my personal projects, working on agency projects, gaming and lore dumping in my personal discord server. I’m a busy little bee. 🐝
🥀
& when i’m not at my desk (which is rare), you can find me yapping with my peeps about video game lore, at the nearest theatre/performing arts centre catching a show, or at home hugging a pillow excitedly as I follow the latest Formula 1 grand prix. 🏎️ 🏁
