Quick but important message:
An enormous thank you to all of you who have ever viewed my art as something worthwhile; to everyone who has gone through the trouble to send me a nice message; to everyone who appreciates what I do.

Not many people outside the internet have given much value to my doings. I’m stating this because it needs to be underlined, overlined and coloured in neon how much I appreciate your appreciation.

(Special note to any aspiring artists contemplating whether to put their work out in the open: it’s worth it.)

A border control officer asked how old I was and I said twelve instead of twenty because my brain is great like that, but the officer didn’t even blink and that’s how much I look my age
