I Paused For A Bit And Did That One Drawing Challenge Going Around Where You Draw What You're Wearing

My last piece for 2020. I've been resting and being with friends and family (virtually). If you haven't been able to do much lately because the clouds have been weighing you down, I just want to let you know that I see you and I'm with you. There's one quote that I go to that gives me a sense of peace, hopefully it can be for you too: "And I know sometimes you cannot breathe deeply, and the night sky is no home, and you have cried yourself to sleep enough times that you are down to your last two percent. But nothing is infinite, not even loss. You are made of the sea and the stars, and one day you are going to find yourself again." -- Finn Butler It's been an extremely difficult year, but I hope that you all take care and be gentle with yourselves, knowing that these hard times will pass. I'm going to take time off away from here too, but looking forward to what the new year has in store. Stay safe and warm, and thank you for being here 🤍

This morning I dreamt of holding a piglet; it was very white, very soft and very well fed. It was also wearing a fuzzy sweater. I can tell this will be a good year 🐽 #firstpostof2019

I made this piece a few months back and it took me enough mental strength to finally post what I have. The older version seemed somber and still, so I intensified the melancholy look, on how grief and heartache can continue to hold on after the moment(s) has passed.

But instead of trying to "Not think about it" or forget, sometimes it's best to get in tune with how you're feeling, imagining this feeling like a temporary visitor. Sit with it, hold its hand, tell it, "I see you, I hear you," and when you're ready, let them leave, until the next time if or when they come back.

Here's to peace, here's to healing, and here's to feeling your feelings this holiday season ✨

It’s been devastating to hear and read the updates on the two major wildfires in California, with so many who have lost everything. So, to help support the evacuees and the foundations who are providing aid, I am starting a donation run.

Donate $25 or more and I’ll draw you 1 portrait; it can be of you, your friend, family, character, or pet!

1) Donate to any of the following organizations: - American Red Cross - California Community Foundation’s Wildfire Relief Fund - California Fire Foundation (There’s also more organizations listed on Tetongravity if you google search their California wildfires article.)

2) Take a screenshot of your donation, and

3) Email to jeanettegchan@gmail.com, along with your request and reference.

I’m currently opening up 10 slots, but I will take more once I have completed these. In the meantime, stay safe and stay well ❤

恭喜发财! 蛇年快乐! 🐍🧧✨

Recently I was asked the question of what I’m planning to do next after I finish all 12 zodiacs. Honestly, I’m that Plankton meme: I don’t know, I didn’t think I’d get this far 🥲

I remember I first got inspired by @feliciachiao with their beautiful zodiac art, artists inspiring artists, and decided to paint my own. So who knows! Maybe years from now, something will tickle my fancy and motivate me to start in that moment.

For now, you can browse through the previous animals I completed 🐉🐇🐅🐂🐀🐖🐕 Only 4 more to go!

Day 07: Lost

Hi what’s ur insta

You can find me in comfydarkme on insta :) my personal blog just has one post of my scrappy boy lol

Learning to let go, Learning to let things be, Learning to loosen the grip, Learning to trust in the process. Connections will happen, They won’t feel like opposing magnets trying to stick, A thousand knots to the stomach, Or added baggage on your already tired shoulders. True connections will simply flow, Comfortably intertwined. ---- Revisiting an old piece with a lesson that took me a long time to learn. And still learning 🤍

just you and me

Day 29: Double

Double the bird, twice the screm

Please forgive me, I've got demons in my head
