Hello, everyone. I hope you’re all doing well. Three months post-social media for me, and I don’t regret it. Honestly, I’m thankful I missed the social media experience of the events of the last few months - they were stressful enough offline. It took a few weeks to dry out - every time I opened a web browser my fingers would out of habit start typing T-W-I-T… It’s amazing how ingrained it had become. But now life has slowed down for me, and things that I thought were important are revealing themselves as unimportant, and I’ve been able to gain some understanding of what work I would like to be doing, and why, and also to see things that I would like to improve, to learn, to change. It has been nice to spend weeks working on learning something, making lots of rough around the edges art, writing stories that meander and twist, without having to worry that I’m not creating anything worth posting to social media. I’ve left the roller coaster of the world and wandered off into the woods for a while.
I especially loved the bit about the pen. Very relatable. I'm happy to hear living life at a different speed is working out. Congratulations and all the best.
I remember people bringing their parallel pens out at a convention, to compare!

Beautiful, wonderful, thank you for doing this.
Great to read all this. I’m still in love with the parallel line myself but I do like to switch it up once and a while and draw with something else.
