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 pals about video game lore, catching a show at my local theatre/performing arts centre, or at home hugging a pillow excitedly as I follow the latest Formula 1 grand prix. 🏎️ 🏁
