I have been feeling a lack of self-esteem lately; kinda stuck in a cycle of everyday life without feeling noticed or really appreciated irl (which is why I've been churning out as much art here as I can, it's exhilarating to make art that people enjoy). And then, out of nowhere,
@Roxxy dropped an adorable painting of Ketchup in my inbox. It's so nice to receive such unsolicited kindness! I would post it, but I want her permission first, and I'm sure she's firmly hugging her pillow right now, lol.
I've been working on
@Dunquixote 's art request forever, and I am finally making progress (TY darling, for being so patient and kind). In my line of work, we have something called "the rule of threes" where things happen 3 times in a row. I made a trio of summer signatures, and now I'm on my third cat painting.


I hope I have enough art stamina left for the August camp event coming up! I'm excited for it!
Also, I'm sitting around -2000 tbt, so I have high hopes to nab something nice from the scavenger raffle; I am feeling so relieved to have found all the items so far!
