feelings about social media

after opening instagram like i do once in a blue moon, i recently thought to myself — why have i been doomscrolling on youtube this whole time when i could have been looking at cute art and checking in with friends instead?

i think i still feel a lot of pressure when i look at other artists work — not from them but from within myself — to get working on new merch, reopening my store, to draw, to interact, etc. and as much as making frog stuff is my hobby it unfortunately feels like work as well, which is probably why i've slowly separated myself from social media over the years.

that said every time i open social media i really miss seeing everyone's work, following new artists (or following back friends that i've completely missed cuz i'm never on!!!), and just interacting with more artists and fans like i used to. hopefully now that i've recognized it i can separate the negative feelings and get back more (and stop doomscrolling on youtube!!)

anyways i also miss ranting like this 😅 i hope you guys don't mind too much! i'd love to start posting more here on tumblr as well

My table at Tomo Arts Mrkt Toronto this last weekend!! ☺️💖 Such great vibes, I really enjoyed meeting new artists, talking with the lovely shoppers and hanging out with my friends. It's quite a roller coaster sometimes helping to organize Tomo events but it's so worth it in the end.

btw our next Tomo event will be in Edmonton, Alberta, Sept 7-8! if you're interested in applying here is the app form 👀

Meet my babies, Tom the Frog & Olivia the Worm!!!!!! 🥹 Which scenario is your favourite?

Tom the Frog & Olivia the Worm are a pair of adventuring and fun-loving friends. I haven't drawn them much so I really wanted to illustrate them in different scenarios (with Tom in their different outfits!).
