Sent hints of rings to the boyo and we kind of narrowed it down to one that I had liked off of etsy. I had reservations with using my mom’s old diamond since she had recently gotten a new big shiny rock. I myself am not a diamond kind of person? I don’t know I’m just wanting an alternative.
The alternative
We both actually really like it so we’ll see what happens 👀
I’m also only explicitly uploading ideas to my Pinterest board. I feel so organized—
——————
My boyfriend is working hard to get into being a full stack developer and I’m feeling kind of stuck in where I am. To elaborate: I’m feeling kind of discouraged. Discouraged in a way that’s hard to describe but it definitely is art and drawing related. I feel like I hardly have any time and energy to get things out like I used to in university. My day job requires me to sit in a cubicle, write and sign titles for cars all day. I’m like the office work horse where I have my main duties for my own team and I have to help the other team that signs for a different brand. They have so much titles I always end up signing all day when I work on that side either at the start of the day or after I sign for my own team. So... when I come home in so tired and my wrist is so tired and always ends up hurting for 2-3 days (which I think is kind of bad). When I get the time to draw I never really know what to do— all my ideas that I would have thought up before I do are usually fun at the time but once I get to my laptop I just can’t conceptualize it. I’m really thinking once my boyfriend gets a different job that pays more than this one and mine combined I can finally just do my thing. But it also stresses me out and I always end up thinking I have to start my Instagram feed all over again and purge old things that I still like but I guess it might be for the best as well as have a consistent feed.
Update: apparently they don’t but if you wanted to you’d have to get it approved by the city. Still gonna live there though.
Laifu update
So it’s decided we gonna get married but I am tasked with finding affordable white gold bands that fit the diamond we have. I at least don’t know when it’s going to happen but I’m v excited because I know I’m going to be really surprised.
After we get good jobs I want to move someplace where it’s not hot like Arizona is. Like Seattle 👀
My hair is also so long now that it’s at the point that it’s automatically parting in the middle.
Well guess we’ll be moving to Seattle next year so if anyone knows if you can have a wedding at the Seattle Japanese garden let a goil know

I’m gonna get a good job so I can get you a ring and you won’t have to worry about how much it is.
Cj after I kept seeing $3000+ engagement rings that are definitely not worth it and you should probs just recycle from old already made rings or sourse responsibly.
Hello it is I, Daniel returneth from the void.
It has been a long time since I have expressed my presence with snazzy new merch, so to celebrate my return to the world of the living, what better theme than SKELETONS? These new items are things we have been working on separately for a long time (just like my video) but they all came together now, which is the universe clearly saying this is meant to be.
Skeleton Vest / T-Shirt
Featuring an incredible graphite illustration by Neil McCathie, which could be an actual photo from the inside of my coffin if I was hit by a meteor tomorrow. Simultaneously scary and soft. This comes on a white vest for anyone that wants to feel the summer breeze on their bones, or a distressed black t-shirt for people who have something eating them up on the inside so hard it’s broken through your clothing.
Pin Badge Set
A collection of enamel pin badges that really express an existential state. Coffee, candle, computer and a new chapter to symbolise your ability to achieve anything you want in this life - while ominously holding a skull as if you’re about to break into a monologue.
Silver Earring Set
A set of silver-look earrings designed to mix and match with your mood. A hoop, a skull, smiley face (that you have to spin upside down ofc), triangle, moon and a single stud. Yes, I basically just designed these to wear myself as it’s the set I always wanted.
I hope you enjoy this cool collection which feels very authentically me. Now let’s all look forward to the future with wide eye sockets!
